Infertility or Difficulty Getting Pregnant – Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Infertility or Difficulty Getting Pregnant – Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment at Emirates Hospitals Group

Struggling to conceive can be an emotionally challenging experience. Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It affects both men and women and can result from a variety of causes, including hormonal imbalances, structural issues, or medical conditions. At Emirates Hospitals Group, we provide compassionate care and advanced treatments to help couples navigate their fertility journey.

Causes of Infertility

• Ovulation Disorders: Conditions like PCOS, thyroid problems, or hormonal imbalances can prevent ovulation, making it difficult to conceive.
• Male Infertility: Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or genetic issues can impact a man’s ability to father a child.
• Tubal Blockages: Blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes can prevent eggs from reaching the uterus.
• Endometriosis: This condition occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, affecting fertility.
• Age-Related Factors: Fertility declines with age, particularly for women over 35, due to a decrease in egg quality and quantity.
• Uterine or Cervical Issues: Conditions like fibroids, polyps, or abnormal cervix shape can hinder implantation.

Diagnosis of Infertility

Our comprehensive diagnostic approach includes:

• Blood Tests: Hormonal testing to assess ovulation and thyroid function.
• Semen Analysis: To evaluate sperm count, motility, and overall health.
• Ultrasound: To check the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes for any abnormalities.
• Hysterosalpingography (HSG): A procedure to examine the fallopian tubes and the uterine cavity.
• Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose conditions like endometriosis.
