The starting points of fertility are individual. Fertility health reflects events ranging from the time before one's own birth throughout childhood, youth, and adulthood. Numerous diseases affecting health status (even asymptomatic ones) and operations affect the fertile potential available when the desire to have a child becomes topical. Fertility health is therefore one of the most important priorities of our healthcare
A fertility check-up is a good place to start. At a specialist appointment, you will get an overview of your fertility and the factors affecting it – whether you wish to start a family now or only later.
For a woman, there is often no cause for concern about her own fertility, with a few exceptions, if she is under 30 years old and generally healthy, her periods are regular and painless, her lifestyle is healthy, and there are no underlying primary diseases or their hidden symptoms.
A man’s fertility is just as important as a woman’s. A prerequisite for male fertility is the testicles' ability to produce semen and, in normal situations, the ability to ejaculate. In cases of disorders in sperm formation, there are usually ways to utilise one’s own fertile potential with the help of treatments. With starting a family in mind, it is good to know whether sperm production functions normally.
The most significant factor reducing fertility is the aging of eggs. A man’s fertility also declines with age, but the changes are slower.
It is important to determine the underlying factors affecting fertility. This helps create better starting points for fertility. A pregnancy that begins under good conditions is important for the future health of the growing foetus and thus the child to be born.
Fertility status can be examined in many ways.
Age decreases the number and quality of eggs. The change becomes more pronounced after the age of 35 and accelerates after the age of 40. Therefore, planning the timing and, if necessary, an earlier assessment performed are important. A woman's fertile age is a key factor.
Male fertility declines more slowly with age, but sperm count, motility, and DNA quality can deteriorate over time. Semen analysis provides basic information, and we utilize additional tests if necessary.
Common ones include AMH (assessment of ovarian reserve), FSH and other hormone examinations as well as thyroid values. Examinations are chosen individually according to symptoms and life situation. The results are reviewed and their significance is explained.
Yes. We can plan the preservation of your own gametes, such as the cryopreservation of eggs or semen, for example based on your life situation, treatments or wishes. We will assess the benefits and schedule together.
