Infertility consultation

Infertility is a concern if a couple fails to conceive naturally after one year of unprotected sex. Older couples often seek fertility assistance prior to this point. The evaluation involves examining both the male and female, obtaining blood for hormone levels, and taking a thorough history of menstruation in the woman. A sperm count is usually part of this examination. Treatment is based on the evaluation and can involve medications or other treatment modalities.
