At Genesis IVF Fertility Hospital in Salem, we believe that understanding your reproductive health is the first step toward building the family you dream of. For couples facing difficulty conceiving, a fertility evaluation offers clarity, direction, and hope. It’s not just a diagnostic process — it’s a personalized roadmap to parenthood.
What Is Fertility Evaluation?
Fertility evaluation is a comprehensive medical assessment designed to identify the underlying causes of infertility in both men and women. It involves a series of tests, physical examinations, and consultations that help fertility specialists determine the best course of treatment.
Couples are typically advised to undergo fertility evaluation if:
They’ve been trying to conceive for over 12 months (or 6 months if the woman is over 35)
They have known reproductive health issues
They’ve experienced recurrent miscarriages
They’re planning assisted reproductive treatments like IVF or IUI
Fertility Evaluation for Women
A woman’s fertility assessment focuses on hormonal balance, ovarian function, and uterine health. Key components include:
1️⃣ Medical and Menstrual History
Understanding cycle regularity, past pregnancies, surgeries, and any symptoms like pain or irregular bleeding.
2️⃣ Hormonal Blood Tests
Checking levels of:
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Prolactin and Estradiol
These hormones influence ovulation, egg reserve, and overall reproductive function.
3️⃣ Pelvic Ultrasound
Evaluates the uterus, ovaries, and endometrial lining. Detects fibroids, cysts, or polycystic ovaries.
4️⃣ Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
An X-ray test to check if the fallopian tubes are open and the uterine cavity is normal.
5️⃣ Ovulation Tracking
Through blood tests or ultrasound to confirm if and when ovulation occurs.
Fertility Evaluation for Men
Male fertility testing focuses on sperm health and reproductive anatomy. Key steps include:
1️⃣ Medical and Sexual History
Includes past illnesses, surgeries, lifestyle habits, and sexual function.
2️⃣ Semen Analysis
Assesses:
Sperm count
Motility (movement)
Morphology (shape)
Volume and pH
3️⃣ Hormonal Tests
Evaluates testosterone, FSH, and LH levels to detect hormonal imbalances.
4️⃣ Scrotal Ultrasound
Checks for varicocele, blockages, or structural abnormalities.
5️⃣ Genetic Testing (if needed)
Recommended for men with very low or absent sperm count to detect chromosomal issues.
