Infertility and Assisted Reproduction

Infertility is the inability to conceive after a year of trying for couples under 35, or six months for those over 35. It can arise from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, ovulation disorders, or structural issues in the reproductive system. Assisted reproduction techniques, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), help couples conceive by manipulating eggs and sperm outside the body before implanting the embryo in the uterus. Gynecologic endocrinology focuses on diagnosing and treating hormonal disorders that impact fertility, ensuring that individuals receive tailored care to improve their chances of conception.
