Infertility

How do I know if I’m experiencing infertility?

Infertility is defined as one year or longer of trying to become pregnant without success. For women over the age of 35, most gynecology and obstetrics professionals consider infertility to begin after six months of difficulty conceiving. 

If you’ve been trying to get pregnant and are not finding success, you should never feel hesitant to reach out for assistance. In fact, many women begin coming in for fertility planning even before they begin actively trying to conceive. 

It’s also important to be kind to yourself throughout this process. Fertility challenges are far more common than many people understand, and they are never a reflection on you as an individual. Help and support is available, as well as top-quality infertility services. 

What are some common causes of infertility?

The process of becoming pregnant requires a number of different steps, for both the male and female partner. Healthy, vital sperm must be produced, and that sperm must be positioned in a way that allows for fertilization of your egg. 

At least one viable egg must be released from your ovaries and must travel to your fallopian tubes. Fertilization must take place, and the resulting embryo must then travel toward your uterus, where it then implants into your uterine wall. 

A problem at any point in this process can cause infertility. The first step in moving forward is a thorough diagnostic assessment, which is an area of specialty for Dr. Moolamalla.

Are there treatments that can help with infertility?

Once Dr. Moolamalla identifies the issue or issues causing infertility, the next step is working out a solution. In some cases, the initial steps are simply helping you and your partner create the conditions that are ideal for successful conception. 

If you’re experiencing women’s health problems like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or a structural issue with your reproductive organs, there are options that can help. Robotic and minimally invasive surgery can help resolve problems that are preventing pregnancy. 

For superior infertility care, you can rest assured that you will be treated with dignity and respect and that you’ll work in partnership with Dr. Moolamalla to determine the best approach to helping you reach your goals of parenthood. Begin today by calling or clicking to schedule a visit online.
