Are you struggling to conceive? An Infertility Scan may help identify factors affecting fertility?

Are you and your partner dreaming of starting a family? Have you been trying to conceive and wondered what might be causing the delay? An infertility scan is often one of the first steps in evaluating reproductive health and identifying factors that may affect fertility.

What is an Infertility Scan?  An infertility scan is an ultrasound examination used to evaluate reproductive health. It assesses the uterus, ovaries, endometrium, and surrounding pelvic structures to identify potential factors that may contribute to infertility.

ULTRASOUND SCAN

What Does an Infertility Scan Evaluate? Uterus The scan evaluates the size, shape, and position of the uterus. It may help identify conditions that could affect fertility such as fibroids, congenital uterine abnormalities, etc.

Endometrium The endometrium is assessed for its thickness and appearance. A healthy endometrium plays an important role in embryo implantation and successful pregnancy.

Ovaries: The ovaries are examined to assess their size, structure, and overall appearance. The scan may help identify ovarian cysts, thereby helping to assess polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Follicles Developing follicles are visualized and measured during the scan. Healthy tense follicles with good perifollicular flow are an indication for good ovarian response, which is vital for successful pregnancy.

When is an Infertility Scan performed?  Baseline Ultrasound is performed on days 2 to 5 of the menstrual cycle. It helps to assess endometrium thickness and astral follicular count and estimate ovarian reserve.

Follicular tracking: A series of transvaginal scans done to track the growth of ovarian follicles and measure endometrium thickness.

Benefits Of An Infertility Scan? ● Non invasive

● Painless

● Gives detailed information of pelvic structures

● Assists health care providers in planning fertility treatment

● Does not use ionizing radiation

Limitations of infertility scan ● It cannot give detailed study of fallopian tubes

● Misses Mild Endometriosis.

● Technical and operator variance might be there.

Conclusion  Understanding the cause of infertility is the first step toward finding the right solution. An infertility scan provides valuable insights into reproductive health and helps identify factors that affect conception. Early evaluation helps in taking proper decisions as early as possible.
