Understanding Infertility

One of the most important things to know about infertility is that it’s not just a female problem. Approximately 40% of cases are male, 40% female, and 20% can be unexplained. That’s why we need to evaluate all parties in order to help you have a baby.

Most infertility cases—85% to 90%—are treated with conventional medical therapies, such as ovulation induction medication or surgery.

In-vitro fertilization and similar treatments account for less than 3% of infertility services and aren’t necessary for everyone. They have a reputation for being expensive but only make up 0.07% of U.S. healthcare costs.

Sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, affect millions. When left untreated, some STDs can lead to infertility.
