Question 3

Who is a Fertility Specialist?

Accepted Answer

A fertility specialist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating fertility problems, to help people who are unsuccessfully trying to have a baby. Fertility doctors treat conditions related to both male and female infertility.

A fertility doctor is also a reproductive endocrinologist who practices obstetrics and gynecology called reproductive endocrinology & infertility (REI). It is a field of medicine that studies hormonal functioning as it is related to reproduction and infertility in both men and women. An infertility workup also includes an endometrial biopsy to determine whether imbalanced hormone levels are affecting the endometrium.

Once a fertility specialist has received as much information as he or she could from the infertility workup, they will recommend suitable fertility treatment options. Common fertility-related conditions treated by fertility specialists include ovulation problems, hormonal disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), weight or age-related infertility, endometriosis, fibroids, blocked fallopian tubes, azoospermia, abnormal sperm production, fertility-related to certain genetic conditions.

Question 4

What are the qualifications of a Fertility Specialist?

Accepted Answer

A student willing to become a fertility specialist needs to clear a medical entrance test to pursue a five-and-half-a-year MBBS course. This includes both academic education as well as on-field training. After this, they need to earn a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. The MD course will be for 3 years. Earning an MD degree is a prerequisite for more specialized knowledge in reproductive medicine. Typically, a fertility doctor follows the educational path of a GYN/OB before getting specialized education.

Steps to become a fertility specialist:

Earn a Bachelor's degree (MBBS) followed by a Master’s Degree (MD).
Take part in a residency program: After passing out from a medical school, future fertility specialists should take part in a residency program to boost their knowledge and skills to provide the best possible treatment for patients.
Obtain a Fellowship: The final step in the education of fertility specialists is to get a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology. Fellowships allow future fertility specialists to achieve valuable experience, seeing many patients with different health conditions - from basic endocrinology to male infertility to a large number of reproductive disorders.

Question 8

What can you expect from your first visit with a Fertility Specialist?

Accepted Answer

Much of the first appointment with a fertility specialist will focus on the review of your overall medical history and discussion about the possibility of male-factor issues. The fertility specialist may ask you to have blood tests done or go for a pelvic exam, and might also prescribe tests for the male or female partner. If these tests are already been done, the doctor will review, and then discuss the results with you.

Make sure that you write down all questions that come to your mind beforehand and share them with your doctor because this is the opportunity to understand what might happen next and what decisions you need to make to get desired results. Always feel free to clear your doubts with your medical team. It is their core responsibility to educate you and also respond to your concerns.

When you visit for the first time, the fertility doctor would want to determine whether there are any medical issues in your or your partner’s history that may lead to an underlying medical condition that is resulting in infertility that might need further evaluation. The next steps can involve the evaluation of the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, and the sperm count.
