Fertility investigations

Information

Examinations to discover the cause for infertility are normally started when a couple has unsuccessfully tried to conceive a child for one year. If there are already known factors affecting fertility the treatment can be started earlier (these causes include surgical operations on the fallopian tubes, ovaries or the uterus, irregular menstruation, male testicular diseases etc). In order to diagnose the cause for infertility, we aim to address three main questions:

  • Does the maturation of the egg and ovulation occur in a normal way?
  • Is the anatomy of the female reproductive organs normal, that is, are the uterus and the fallopian tubes functionally healthy?
  • Is there sufficient number of mobile sperm cells for fertilization?
