I have Dr Irfana Koita from IVF Matters with me to discuss the various physical investigations available for women's health and fertility. Irfana discusses the different types of scans and when they should be used.

Irfana highlights the need for comprehensive fertility investigations to identify potential issues that could affect conception and the importance of addressing these issues before proceeding with treatments like IVF.

We also discuss the role of diagnostic procedures in improving treatment outcomes and the significance of patient education in navigating fertility challenges.

We discuss:

Why transvaginal scans are essential for assessing ovarian function.

Why HYCOSY and HSG are important tests for checking fallopian tube patency.

Why comprehensive fertility investigations are crucial for effective treatment.

How mild endometriosis may not be detected by transvaginal scans.

Why diagnostic procedures can impact the success of fertility treatments.

Why Hysteroscopy allows for both diagnosis and treatment of uterine issues.

Why patient education is vital in managing fertility concerns.
