Tests and diagnosis
A female fertility study consists of a series of medical tests that determine a woman's reproductive status and detect possible causes that may be making pregnancy difficult.
Visiting a fertility clinic is recommended when:
Early diagnosis is key to preventing infertility and increasing the chances of pregnancy.
Thanks to a female fertility study, the medical team can obtain a complete picture of ovarian, hormonal, and uterine function, and thus establish the personalized treatment best suited to each patient.
Performing a fertility study allows for:
It allows the assessment of the uterus, ovaries and antral follicle count, an indicator of ovarian reserve.
Hormones related to ovulation and ovarian quality are analyzed:
Radiological or ultrasound test to check if the fallopian tubes are patent and to assess the uterine cavity.
In some cases, genetic, immunological, or coagulation studies are performed for a more complete diagnosis.
After the tests, the medical team interprets the results individually and recommends the most appropriate treatment: artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, egg donation, or other specific techniques for each case.
Each diagnosis is unique, so a fertility assessment is the first step in designing a customized treatment plan tailored to each patient's needs and characteristics. This individualized approach optimizes the chances of success and offers comprehensive medical care based on scientific evidence and emotional support throughout the entire process.
Most tests can be performed in one or two menstrual cycles.
The ultrasound and hormone tests are painless. The hysterosalpingography may cause mild discomfort, similar to menstrual cramps.
Some tests, such as hormone analyses, must be performed on specific days of the menstrual cycle. The specialist will indicate the best time.
It is advisable from the age of 35, although it can be done earlier in women with a medical history or who want to preserve eggs.
Ideally, a complete study of the couple should be performed. In the case of the male partner, a semen analysis is done.
