Female Infertility: What Can Prevent Conception and Pregnancy

Female infertility can be linked to various factors, and they are not always easy to identify right away. Sometimes the reasons lie in health conditions, lifestyle, or external influences. It is important to remember that modern diagnostics can reveal the root of the problem and guide the way to motherhood. At “New Life” clinic, we do everything possible to make this dream closer.

Hormonal Disorders

Infertility in women can be caused by a variety of factors categorized as physiological, genetic, and external. One of the most common causes is ovulation disorders, where the egg either does not mature or fails to leave the ovary. This may result from hormonal imbalances or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Obstructed Fallopian Tubes

Another common cause is fallopian tube obstruction. This can be due to inflammatory processes, past infections, or adhesions following surgery. The condition of the endometrium—the inner lining of the uterus—also plays a role in fertility. If the endometrium is too thin or damaged, a fertilized egg cannot implant successfully.

Woman's Age

The age factor should not be overlooked. After the age of 35, the chances of natural conception decrease significantly due to the declining quality of eggs. Additionally, female infertility can be linked to endocrine disorders, genetic anomalies, or autoimmune processes.

Diagnosing Female Infertility: Identifying the Cause

Modern diagnostics for female infertility begin with a detailed consultation with a gynecologist and taking a thorough medical history. At this stage, it is important to understand the characteristics of the menstrual cycle, any chronic conditions, and past infections.

A comprehensive set of laboratory tests is then ordered, including blood tests for hormones, infections, and markers of inflammation. An essential step is an ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs, which helps assess the condition of the ovaries, uterus, and endometrium.

More specialized diagnostic methods are also employed:

Hysterosalpingography, a type of X-ray examination of the fallopian tubes and uterine cavity
Laparoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure that allows for visual evaluation of the pelvic organs
Ovulation tests, which help determine whether eggs are being released regularly

Advanced diagnostic tools allow healthcare providers to identify the cause of infertility in most cases and create an effective treatment plan. In some situations, consultations with additional specialists may be required if systemic factors are contributing to infertility.

Treating Female Infertility: Main Approaches at New Life Clinic

The treatment of female infertility requires a careful approach and the integration of modern medical advances. At “New Life” clinic, we rely on advanced technologies and international expertise. This enables us to provide women with solutions that meet today’s highest standards of quality and effectiveness. Our specialists guide every patient on her path to motherhood, ensuring an atmosphere of trust and support.

Drug therapy

Treating female infertility is highly individualized and depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, medical correction, such as hormonal therapy, is sufficient. A doctor may prescribe medications to stimulate ovulation or adjust hormonal imbalances.

Laparoscopy

If the issue lies in fallopian tube obstruction, surgical intervention may be necessary. Laparoscopic surgeries are minimally invasive and can remove adhesions, restore tubal patency, and increase the chances of conception.

In vitro fertilization

Infertility related to endocrine or immune issues is addressed using innovative methods, including immunomodulators. In severe cases where natural fertility cannot be restored, assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), are used.

У меня был не совсем понятных случай, и я довольна, что наконец диагноз поставлен и лечение принесло результат. Только в клинике Нью Лайф мне после небольшого обследования порекомендовали сделать лапароскопическое (гистероскопическое – прим. клиники) обследование, а я уже обошла не одну клинику и все без толку. Так, что если есть сложности или сомнения, обращайтесь в Нью Лайф и там вам обязательно помогут.

Хочу висловити вдячність хорошому спеціалісту і чудовій людині Марченко Юрію Валерійовичу, ставлення до мене було і є причудове. Лікування було довге і не легке, в два етапи перша операція на шийці матки пройшла чудово, на даний час стан як у дівчинки))) потім ще одна операція були кісти, спайки і дві міоми в матці, все пройшло чудово, медсестри дуже чуйні і добрі, в лікарні тепло і затишно, дівчата на рецепшені ввічливі і усміхненні, після операції онколог і анастезіолог, на жаль не пам´ятаю їхніх імен, частенько заглядали до мене і цікавились моїм самопочуттям, що не могло не радувати. Зараз лікується чоловік також у Юрія Валерійовича, ми зараз близькі до цілі завагітніти, нехай дасть Господь здоров´я цим людям що дали мені надію бути здоровою і стати мамою. Слава Господу.

Доброго дня! Хочу висловити подяку Людмилі Володимирівні, нажаль призвіще не запам’ятала, лікарю гінекологу, яка дуже чуйно і професійно поставилась до мого стану, якісно і професійно провела діагностику, дуже приємно було спостерігати за колегіальною роботою Людмили Володимирівни, котра для покращення мого обстеження запросила колегу під час УЗД, в тактовній манері між собою та до мене провели обстеження, дуже вам вдячна(нажаль призвіща іншого лікаря не знаю) Рекомендую Людмилу Володимирівну і для інших. Точно знаю, що вона мене не “розведе” на гроші, як це було в інших клініках. Сподіваюсь керівництво теж підтримує таку політику раціонального і обгрунтованого використання коштів пацієнта.

Огромное спасибо хочу сказать Людмиле Владимировне Шпуре – врачу-гинекологу клиники Нью Лайф. Людмила Владимировна очень компетентный врач-гиниколог и очень толерантная по отношению к своим клиентам. Я сама очень чувствительная девушка (“неженка”), хожу только к ней так как она понимает меня и всегда хорошо обращается сомной на осмотре и вовремя разных процедур (осмотр, УЗД и др.). Мои сестра и подруга тоже ходят к ней и очень её хвалят. Спасибо Вам Людмила Владимировна.
