Who is a Reproductive Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist specializes in the endocrine system. A reproductive endocrinologist is an obstetrician/gynecologist physician who diagnoses and treats endocrine disorders that are directly or indirectly related to reproduction. These doctors largely deal with problems related to infertility, when you are not able to get pregnant after a year of unprotected sex.

Reproductive endocrinologists may use surgery or procedures to treat infertility. Before they design a treatment plan, they should find the source of the problem. For this, they may:

  • Check blood sugar, thyroid abnormalities
  • Run a semen test
  • Order an X-ray of the uterus, fallopian tubes to find problems
  • Perform an ovarian reserve fertility test to measure the overall level of various hormones related to reproduction like Estradiol, Follicle stimulating hormone, Anti-Müllerian hormone.

Based on the results of such tests, reproductive endocrinologists are able to make the correct diagnosis.
