Infertility Treatment

Infertility is a common problem that affects about 1 in 10 couples in the United States. The University of Kansas Health System in Kansas City offers all of today's most innovative treatments for infertility. Our comprehensive program includes a team of specialists that collaborates to provide you with advanced, complete and compassionate care.

Infertility treatment options help couples who struggle to conceive naturally. Options for infertility treatment can support the ability to conceive as well as the ability to carry a healthy pregnancy to term.

Infertility can be caused by a number of factors, such as health problems, genetic defects, chronic conditions, infections or other issues. Understanding the cause of your infertility is critical for developing the best treatment plan for you.

There are many treatment options available for infertility. Your physician will present options that may be appropriate in your situation, including:

• Advanced genetic testing
• Preimplantation genetic diagnosis
• Preimplantation genetic screening
• Fertility preservation
• Egg freezing
• Medical treatments for fertility preservation
• Ovarian tissue freezing and transplantation

The potential risks of infertility treatments vary depending on the specific treatment(s) your doctor recommends. The greatest benefit of successful infertility treatments is conception and pregnancy that leads to biological children. Deciding whether infertility treatment is right for you is a choice that couples make together with the help of their doctor.

Infertility treatment begins with evaluating the cause of infertility, then customizing the treatment to your particular needs as a couple. In some cases, different infertility treatments may be combined to achieve an optimum outcome. For example, a couple may require vasectomy reversal followed by IVF treatments to become pregnant.
