What Can an Infertility Specialist Do?


Mike Jerry



Introduction
An infertility specialist is a specialist that can accurately diagnose and treat conditions that are causing infertility. This specialist will help assist you by acting as an advisor. They will help you find a clinic that can give you pregnancy aids. Clinics can help both the male and female partners and they also offer in vitro fertilization. This procedure unites the sperm and embryo in a lab. If this isn't an option, you have other alternatives that include donor eggs or sperm, intrauterine insemination, or fallopian reversal. These specialists are there to help you increase your chances of getting pregnant.


Having been diagnosed with infertility, the doctor can give you two options; either to find an infertility specialist or further medical tests such as a laparoscopy. Then, depending on your personal needs and desires, you decide which route is best for you. If the infertility is confirmed, then an infertility specialist is likely the best option for finding out what your next step is.

These infertility specialists are trained reproductive endocrinologists. They have undergone extensive medical training and can accurately diagnose and treat many complex conditions that can cause infertility. An infertility specialist can be a reproductive endocrinologist, an obstetrician or a gynecologist who has completed three additional years of training in reproduction and fertility and has become board-certified through examinations and research projects.

Getting Qualified Advice

An infertility specialist acts as both an advisor and a reproductive medicine specialist. That is why the doctors who diagnose the infertility would suggest the infertility specialist immediately, especially if the parties with infertility problems sorely need advice. Do not wait to see a specialist if the doctor prescribes a visit.

At an infertility specialist clinic there are many treatments available from initial diagnosis to the most complex procedures; they are available for both men and women. This would include semen analysis, surgery for fibroids, ovaries, tubes and so on. They also have solutions such as medications such as Human Menopausal Gonadotropin or Menotropin (Pergonal), Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) injections, Clomiphene Citrate, Progesterone injection and others.

Besides that, an infertility specialist clinic also offers In vitro fertilization which is a procedure whereby the sperm and embryo are united in the lab. An infertility specialist also gives other alternative treatments such as intrauterine insemination, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, surrogacy, tube or fallopian reversal, the use of donor eggs or donor sperm, and options in choosing the gender of the child to ensure that the child will not be genetically predisposed to certain disorders of certain gender in the family chart.

Not stopping there, an infertility specialist also has the duty of the administration of FSH in the patient, cycle monitoring, retrieval, culture and transfer. He also has the duty to administer injectable infertility medications which are tailored to each patient depending on the different causes. Other than that, an infertility specialist sometimes performs surgeries to correct reproductive disorders, such as endometriosis.
