What is fertility?

Fertility refers to the ability of an individual or couple to conceive and successfully carry a pregnancy to term. Fertility is influenced by various factors, including age, overall health, reproductive anatomy and function, hormonal balance, and lifestyle factors.

What causes fertility issues?

Several factors can contribute to fertility issues, affecting either one or both partners. In women, common causes of fertility issues include:

• Ovulatory disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Structural abnormalities of the reproductive organs
• Endometriosis
• Age-related decline in ovarian reserve
• Menopause

Men’s fertility can be impacted by factors such as:

• Low sperm count
• Poor sperm motility or morphology
• Hormonal imbalances
• Structural abnormalities of the reproductive tract

Nadine can learn about your symptoms and provide guidance and effective treatment.

When should I see a specialist for fertility issues?

You should seek Nadine’s guidance as a fertility specialist if you've been actively trying to conceive for a year (if you're under 35) or six months (if you're over 35) without success. 

In addition, if you have known risk factors or medical conditions that may affect your fertility, such as irregular menstrual cycles, previous pelvic surgery, or a history of sexually transmitted infections, it's advisable to seek an evaluation and assistance sooner.

How are fertility issues treated via telehealth?

Telehealth has revolutionized the way fertility issues are addressed by providing remote access to specialized care. You can now seek fertility treatment from the comfort of your home. 

At Swift Solutions Medical Center, Nadine offers initial consultations, follow-up appointments, and even diagnostic evaluations virtually, allowing you to receive personalized care without the need for in-person visits. Fertility treatments via telehealth may involve discussing your medical history, reviewing diagnostic tests, and developing treatment plans tailored to your needs. 

Nadine also provides medication management, cycle monitoring, and counseling remotely. She can also facilitate education and support, empowering you to actively participate in your fertility journey.

While certain procedures like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) may still require in-person visits to a fertility clinic, telehealth enables ongoing communication and coordination of care between you and Nadine, enhancing accessibility and convenience in fertility treatment.
