Infertility investigations are commonly conducted on both partners at the same time. The process of clarification for the woman: Relevant laboratory tests Ultrasound examination of the uterus and ovaries physical examination Medical history review Investigating a possible mechanical cause Infertility due to a mechanical problem refers to an anatomical issue within the pelvis that either prevents the sperm and egg from meeting or hinders the embryo from implanting in the uterus.Common examples of such issues include pelvic adhesions and blocked fallopian tubes. Pelvic adhesions are typically the result of previous infections or surgical procedures, such as those performed for ectopic pregnancies, ovarian cysts, cesarean sections, or fibroid removal.Another common cause is endometriosis, a condition in which endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis frequently leads to pelvic adhesions and is a well-recognized cause of mechanical infertility. The following diagnostic tests may help identify mechanical causes of infertility: Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) The test is performed in an X-ray center under mirroring. During the test, a contrast agent is injected that fills the uterine cavity and, if there is no blockage in the fallopian tubes, the agent passes through them into the pelvis. Sono-HSG Sonohysterosalpingography is a diagnostic procedure in which sterile saline or a specialized foam is gently instilled into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. Filling the uterine cavity with fluid enables high-resolution imaging of the uterine lining, similar in quality to that achieved with hysteroscopy. This allows for the detection of intrauterine abnormalities such as adhesions and polyps. An advanced version of the test includes 3D ultrasound imaging of the uterus, which helps identify congenital anomalies such as uterine septum, bicornuate uterus, and fibroids. The examination also includes an ultrasound evaluation of the ovaries to detect any abnormal findings. Because this test does not require iodine-based contrast material, it is suitable for women with allergies to iodine or fish. Additionally, there is no exposure to radiation, making it a safer option for many patients. One of its most significant advantages is that the procedure is minimally invasive and nearly painless. Diagnostic hysteroscopy Hysteroscopy involves the direct visualization of the uterine cavity using a thin optical fiber connected to a camera and monitor. A normal uterine cavity is one that is free from abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, septa, or adhesions\u2014conditions that can reduce the likelihood of successful embryo implantation. During the procedure, gas or fluid is gently introduced into the uterine cavity to expand it and allow clear visualization of its walls. Hysteroscopy can be performed either without anesthesia or under brief general anesthesia, depending on the individual case and patient comfort. . Surgical hysteroscopy This procedure is performed when a problem has been identified within the uterine cavity that requires surgical intervention. It is typically carried out under anesthesia in an operating room setting. Laparoscopy Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia in an operating room. After the abdomen is gently inflated with gas, a thin optical fiber connected to a camera and monitor is inserted through a small incision near the navel. This allows for direct visualization of the pelvic organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, as well as the detection of other conditions that may impact fertility. If a treatable condition is identified during the procedure, additional small incisions may be made to insert surgical instruments, enabling immediate treatment or correction of the problem within the same procedure. The clarification process for men: Review of medical history Physical examination Relevant laboratory tests Semen analysis and hormonal tests when required In some cases of abnormal semen analysis, a scrotal\u00a0 ultrasound of the testicles should\u00a0 be performed\u00a0 The semen analysis A semen analysis provides key information about sperm health, focusing on three main parameters: concentration, motility, and morphology. The results of this test play a crucial role in determining the appropriate course of treatment. During the consultation with Dr. Shlomi Barak, the findings are thoroughly reviewed, and a clear picture of male fertility is established. Based on these results, a personalized treatment plan is discussed and agreed upon. Other Services Available at Our Clinic Freezing eggs and embryos for fertility preservation Egg or embryo freezing is performed for two main reasons: medical reason When a medical condition is identified that may compromise ovarian reserve or future fertility, fertility preservation is recommended. This typically involves retrieving eggs and either freezing them or creating and freezing embryos for future use when needed. Social egg freeze In 2011, a law was enacted in Israel allowing women aged 30 to 41 without a partner to undergo ovarian stimulation and an egg retrieval treatment for the purpose of\u00a0 freezing unfertilized eggs for future use. It is important to note that egg freezing does not guarantee egg survival after thawing or the achievement of pregnancy. Since both the quality and quantity of eggs decline with age, it is advisable not to delay family planning when possible. Endometrial Scratch \u2013 Enhancing Uterine Receptivity This procedure involves the deliberate &#8220;scratching&#8221; of the uterine lining prior to treatment. The underlying assumption is that a healthy uterine lining will respond to this minor injury by increasing blood flow and releasing self-healing and regenerative substances into the area. This response may enhance the endometrium\u2019s ability to support embryo implantation during the subsequent embryo transfer cycle. The decision to perform an endometrial scratch is made on an individual basis, depending on each patient&#8217;s medical history and fertility treatment plan. Preimplantation genetic testing PGD Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis &#8211; PGT-MPGS Preimplantation Genetic Screening \u2013 PGT-A This procedure involves taking a biopsy from an embryo\u2014either at the cleavage stage (around day 3, when the embryo has approximately 8 cells) or at the blastocyst stage (day 5\u20136). A single cell or a small group of cells is carefully removed and sent for genetic testing. Only embryos found","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/barakivf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bottom-Image-scaled.jpg","thumbnail_width":2560,"thumbnail_height":1707}
