A fertility assessment is a good place to start. During a specialist's appointment, you will get a comprehensive picture of your fertility and the factors affecting it – whether you wish to start a family now or later.
Most women under 30 who are otherwise healthy, have not suffered from gynaecological diseases or inflammations, do not suffer from symptoms of underlying general illness, have regular menstrual cycles, and healthy lifestyles, often do not worry about their own fertility.
However, a visit to Felicitas Mehiläinen's fertility assessment should be considered if your lifestyle is not quite in order, you have an underlying disease or its symptoms, or your mother's menstrual cycles ended at a young age.
Male fertility plays an equally important role in family formation as female fertility health in matters of infertility and family planning, although discussions often focus on female fertility. In men, fertility is based on the ability to produce sperm that can fertilise an egg. Sperm must be healthy, sufficiently mobile, and correctly shaped.
The service is suitable for both couples and individuals, and it takes into account different family structures. Seek a fertility check-up when any of the following apply to you or you both:
The state of fertility can be examined in many different ways. The goal is an individual assessment and a clear, step-by-step plan.
Before your appointment, it is advisable to write down or recall at least the following information, if applicable to you:
Ensitapaamisella kartoitamme taustat ja hedelmällisyyteen vaikuttavat tekijät ja suunnittelemme tarvittavat tutkimukset. Tavoitteena on selkeä ja vaiheittainen suunnitelma – itsenäinen yritys, elämäntapamuutokset, ajoituksen parantaminen tai tarvittaessa hedelmällisyyshoitoihin ohjautuminen.
Gynekologinen tutkimus ja transvaginaalinen ultraääni. Tarvittaessa hormoni- ja verikokeet (esim. AMH munasarjavarannon arvioon, FSH ja kilpirauhasarvot), ovulaation seuranta ja kohdun limakalvon tutkiminen.
siemennesteanalyysi WHO:n ohjeiden mukaan, tulokset, ja johtopäätökset ja tarvittaessa lisätutkimukset.
Ovulaation seuranta ja ovulaatiotestit, yhdyntärytmin optimointi.
Edistyneet tutkimukset, kuten siittiöiden DNA-fragmentaatio, oksidatiivisen stressin arviointi (esim. MiOXSYS), Y-deleetiot, geenipaneelit ja kantajuustutkimukset.
Itsehoidon ja ajoituksen tehostus tai hoitosuunnitelma (ovulaation induktio, inseminaatio, IVF/ICSI). Tarvittaessa hyödynnämme edistyneitä tutkimuksia, kuten siittiöiden MiOXSYS‑tutkimusta ja tarvittaessa DNA‑fragmentaatiotestiä, Y‑deleetiotutkimusta, geenipaneeleita ja kantajuustutkimuksia. Naisilla arvioimme myös ovulaation kulkua ja kohdun limakalvon tilaa.
Omien sukusolujen pakastus (munasolujen tai siemennesteen pakastus) voidaan suunnitella elämäntilanteen tai hoitojen vuoksi.
Not needed. You can come directly to Felicitas Mehiläinen without a referral. If you have previous test results, please bring them with you. They will speed up the assessment and may reduce the need for further tests.
If you have been trying to conceive for a year without success, it is advisable to seek medical examination. For those over 35, the recommendation is to try for six months, and for those over 40 or with clear menstrual cycle or semen problems, it is advisable to seek help sooner.
An ovulation calculator can make timing easier if the menstrual cycle is regular. In cases of irregular cycles or suspected ovulation problems, more precise monitoring methods are available, such as ultrasound scans during the cycle and hormonal monitoring.
Common are AMH (assessment of ovarian reserve), FSH and other hormone tests, as well as thyroid values. The examinations are chosen individually according to symptoms and life situation. The results are reviewed and their significance is clearly explained.
If necessary, more detailed andrological and urological examinations are performed in connection with male fertility disorders. We use measurements of sperm oxidative stress (e.g., MiOXSYS), DNA fragmentation assessments of genetic studies (Y-deletions, gene panels, carrier studies), and in women, more detailed examinations of ovulation and the uterine lining. The examinations are selected individually and guide timely planning.
Yes. We can plan the preservation of your own gametes, such as egg or semen cryopreservation, for example, based on your life situation, treatments, or wishes. We will assess the benefits and timeline together.
