Ascertaining Fertility
At the beginning of each
individual therapy, the hormonal system will be thoroughly examined in
order to diagnose and treat malfunctions of thyroid gland or male
hormonal secretion.
The real surveillance of the
menstrual cycle generally begins between the 3rd and the 5th day after
menstruation has set in. To do so, we use ultrasound technology and a
blood test. Further treatment depends on the initial hormonal
situation; the aim of the treatment is to induce ovulation when the
follicles are ripe, and to thus state the best time for fertilization.
For patients with only minor disorders, this will already be a sufficient treatment to become pregnant.
Assessing tubal patency by using imaging contrast agents is an almost
painless method to determine whether the fallopian tubes are penetrable
or not. The procedure is carried out as an outpatient treatment and
should be performed a few days before ovulation, as the mouth of the
uterus is open at this time so that the catheter for delivery of
imaging contrast agent may be inserted.
After
the first results are available, we will discuss these with you.
Together, we will then draw up a plan for further diagnostics and
therapy, to which you should contribute your own ideas and needs.
