Infertility Evaluation – IHR Guwahati

Who Should Seek Fertility Care?

Many different factors could affect your fertility. There are various screening tests that can be done to evaluate fertility. We offer both fertility assessments and tests for men and women.

Female

By looking at things like your health, medical history and lifestyle, our female fertility tests allow us to assess your individual situation and, if needed, decide on the best way to help.

What does a female fertility assessment involve?

At your assessment we’ll look at both your general and fertility health and take you through a few key tests.

During your assessment, we’ll evaluate the following :

Lifestyle

Your lifestyle can make a big difference to your fertility. Your doctor or nurse might suggest changes to your exercise or diet to help you get in the best possible shape for your journey with IHR.

Medical history

We'll take note of any existing medical conditions, including your gynaecological history, and explore any known problems that could be relevant. We might suggest further tests or make other recommendations based on our findings.

Height & Weight (BMI):

Body mass index (BMI) directly influences fertility—both underweight and overweight conditions may impact ovulation and cycle regularity.

Blood pressure

Your general health is closely linked to your fertility health, so we’ll be checking to make sure your blood pressure is within the recommended guidelines.

Painless HysteroSalpingoGraphy (HSG)

HSG is the procedure to check tubal patency, in other words, if your Fallopian tubes are open, and that there aren’t any blockages.

Fertility Scan

This type of ultrasound, also known as a 3D trans-vaginal pelvic ultrasound scan, helps us:

- to get a much clearer picture of your womb, ovaries, and pelvis.
- to check the quality of your womb lining – the endometrium
- to measure Ovarian volume
- to measure Antral Follicle Count (AFC) which along - with AMH is used as an indicator of Ovarian Reserve, and can give us a better idea of how you might respond to treatment.
