Whether you are taking your first step towards parenthood or have been trying to conceive for a while, this assessment provides insight and information on what to do next.
Female Fertility Risk Factors
Identifying female fertility risks allows for early intervention and enhances conception chances. Our risk assessment of fertility factors thoroughly examines these risks to formulate focused treatment regimens.
Age-Related Risks
Women lose fertility with age, which is evident after age 29 and more so after 35. This is due to the fact that both egg quality and quantity decrease with time. Our fertility risk assessment measures ovarian reserve to determine how age affects your personal fertility potential.
Hormonal Imbalances
Conditions like PCOS, thyroid, and abnormal menstrual cycles can impact fertility. Our fertility risk assessment includes complete hormone testing to identify imbalances. FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones are checked to see if there are any problems with ovulation.
Structural Problems
Physical barriers can prevent conception even when eggs and hormones are healthy. In our fertility risk assessment, we test:
- Blockage of the fallopian tubes
- Uterine polyps or fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Abnormal shape of the uterus
- Scarring from previous surgeries
- Abnormality of the cervix
Lifestyle and Medical Factors
Daily decisions play a major role in fertility. Our fertility risk assessment looks at:
- BMI (both underweight and overweight states impact fertility).
- Smoking kills eggs and can reduce fertility levels by even 60 percent.
- Alcohol use disrupts the endocrine balance.
- Caffeine consumption in large quantities is linked with conception problems.
- Stress levels influence ovulation and hormone production.
- Use of medication, as some medications affect fertility.
Risk Factors for Male Fertility
Male factors are the cause of about 50% of all cases of infertility. Our fertility risk assessment fully screens men to identify all potential problems.
Health of Sperm
Male fertility relies heavily on sperm quality, so with our fertility risk assessment, we carry out semen analysis, which involves:
- Sperm count (less than 15 million sperm per millilitre is lower than average)
- Motility (ability to swim normally)
- Morphology (structure and form)
- Seminal fluid volume and pH
- DNA fragmentation (genetic sperm damage)
Hormonal and Physical Influences
Optimal hormone function and a normal reproductive system are needed for male fertility. When we evaluate the risk of fertility, we examine:
- Testosterone function
- Other hormones that regulate reproduction (FSH, LH)
- Varicocele (inflamed veins in the scrotum)
- Testicular size and health
- History of infection or surgery
Age and Lifestyle Impact
Men, too, undergo a decrease in fertility with increasing age and lifestyle. Our risk assessment takes into account:
- Age (fertility declines after the age of 40)
- Smoking (leads to damage in sperm DNA and reduction in numbers)
- Alcohol consumption (influences levels of hormones and sperm production)
- Heat stress (hot tubbing, tight-fitting clothes)
- Environmental toxin exposure
- Medication side effects
- Mental health and stress
Our Advanced Fertility Risk Assessment Process
With our cutting-edge fertility risk assessment, you have a clear view of your reproductive health. The test will assist in the identification of possible complications and provide highly personalized solutions.
Initial Consultation and Medical History
Fertility care starts with a comprehensive review of your health history. During this fertility risk assessment, our clinicians will go through the patient's medical history, such as illnesses or conditions, and the partner's, family and past pregnancies or attempts. We also inquire about menstrual periods, symptoms that you have noticed, and issues regarding your sexual health. All of this is done in a very supportive environment where the patient feels at ease sharing sensitive reproductive health problems.
Diagnostic Testing and Examination
Precise testing is the cornerstone of our fertility risk assessment strategy. In female patients, blood work measures hormone levels, ultrasounds image the reproductive organs, and special testing, like HSG, determines the integrity of the fallopian tubes. Men have a thorough semen analysis. The physician tests for count, motility, and morphology.
In laboratory excellence, all our laboratories are accredited to deliver precise results on fertility risk assessment. Based on your case and the outcome of the initial consultation, additional tests will be recommended.
Best Treatment Planning
We create a personalized care plan based on your fertility risk assessment results. Our practitioners will explain your results and give you a clear and easy-to-understand explanation of how they will affect your fertility journey. We will outline various treatment options depending on the results of your risk assessment. Those options may include lifestyle changes, medications, or assisted reproductive interventions like IUI or IVF.
