Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) is a medical specialty focusing on hormonal and reproductive issues affecting fertility. It examines how hormones like estrogen and testosterone regulate reproductive systems in both women and men. REI specialists diagnose and treat conditions that can hinder conception, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or low sperm count. They also assist with assisted reproductive technologies, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), to help individuals and couples achieve pregnancy. Overall, REI aims to understand and address the biological factors that influence reproductive health and assist those facing challenges in starting or expanding their families.
