Embarking on the journey to parenthood can be an exciting yet challenging process, especially for those facing fertility concerns. At Ultrasound Care, we understand the significance of thorough fertility assessment in guiding individuals or couples towards their family planning goals. Utilising advanced 3D ultrasound technology, our team of experienced obstetricians and sonographers specialises in providing comprehensive fertility evaluations tailored to each patient’s needs.
Fertility Assessment with 3D Ultrasound
Ultrasound scans of the uterus play a pivotal role in fertility planning and assessing infertility. At Ultrasound Care, we employ state-of-the-art 3D ultrasound technology to ensure accurate and detailed assessments of reproductive health. Your doctor may have referred you to us for fertility assessment, recognising our expertise in utilising 3D ultrasound for this purpose.
How are fertility scans performed?
To obtain the most precise information, our team typically performs fertility scans vaginally. While some women may experience slight discomfort, the procedure should not be painful. Our priority is to ensure your comfort throughout the process while obtaining essential diagnostic data.
What is learned from a fertility scan?
During a fertility assessment scan, our team gathers vital information about the uterus, including its shape, the condition of the uterine lining, and the configuration of the uterine cavity. Through 3D ultrasound, we can identify nuances and anomalies that may not be visible with traditional 2D scans. Additionally, we assess the ovaries, examining their position, shape, and the number of follicles present, which is crucial for evaluating ovarian reserve.
Other Procedures Related to Fertility Assessment
In addition to 3D ultrasound scans, our team may recommend further procedures to provide a comprehensive fertility assessment. One such procedure is a HyCoSy, which assesses the patency of the Fallopian tubes, determining if they are open or blocked. This procedure can often be performed on the same day as your ultrasound appointment, streamlining the assessment process for your convenience.
Why have I been referred for fertility assessment and how do I arrange for an appointment?
If your doctor has referred you for fertility assessment, it’s because they recognise the importance of gaining insights into your reproductive health to determine the most appropriate treatment options. To arrange an appointment with Ultrasound Care, simply contact us at one of eight clinics at a location convenient to you, and our dedicated team will guide you through the process.
