When to Seek Help for Infertility
While there are many factors that can contribute to difficulty conceiving, certain signs may indicate it’s time to consult with an OBGYN fertility specialist.
- Irregular menstrual cycles: Can be a symptom of ovulation problems, which can interfere with fertility. If your periods are infrequent or inconsistent, it’s worth discussing this with a doctor.
- Painful periods: May signal underlying conditions that affect fertility, such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
- A history of pelvic surgery: Can sometimes lead to scar tissue that impacts fertility. If you’ve undergone surgery in the pelvic area, it’s important to share this information with your healthcare provider.
- Endometriosis: A condition characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. This can cause inflammation and scar tissue, potentially affecting fertility.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): An infection that can damage the fallopian tubes and ovaries, impacting a woman’s ability to conceive. If you experience symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, or fever, it’s crucial to seek medical attention.
