When to seek fertility treatment?

When to seek fertility treatment, this is a common question from our infertility patients and today Dr Kobus Coetsee a Fertility Specialist from Vitalab Fertility Clinic in Umhlanga KwaZulu Natal (KZN) will discuss the answer with radio DJ Zakia Ahmed from Lotus FM. 

When you have decided to pursue a pregnancy, it is imperative that you keep these basic timelines in mind whilst (TTC) trying to conceive. As a female, if you are under 35 years of age then after one year or more of TTC you need to consult with a fertility specialist (reproductive medicine specialist). As a female, if you are over the age of 35 years and been trying for 6 months or longer you need to consult with a fertility specialist. 

As a female, there are also many other factors or previous conditions which you also need to consider when TTC. If you do have some of these previous conditions such as surgery or changes to your menstruation cycle, then it may be prudent to seek help from a fertility doctor sooner. 

As a male, there are factors such as previous injuries to the testicles or even unhealthy lifestyle factors which may all have an impact on your own fertility looking at the sperm production. A semen analysis is always then recommended to understand your own fertility potential. 

Important take away message, this is not only a female problem this does affect males too and they also need to be assessed when TTC. Consult a fertility specialist if you meet the above criteria. 

Vitalab’s YouTube Channel tries to provide you with the best medical information around infertility, recurrent miscarriages or other just trying to conceive (TTC) topics. We have tried to cover infertility testing, fertility treatments, fertility medications and fertility treatments like IUI and IVF (in vitro fertilization).
