Unexplained Infertility

At times, small issues in both partners may combine to affect fertility, even if they experienced no difficulties in previous relationships. In other cases, despite thorough testing, no scientific reason for infertility can be found.

In most instances, the inability to reach a diagnosis is not because investigations were incomplete, but because certain underlying factors cannot be detected through standard diagnostic methods.

When faced with unexplained infertility, assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF serve both a diagnostic and a treatment role. For example, IVF can overcome issues like eggs not being properly released or picked up by the fallopian tubes. Additionally, fertilisation can be directly observed and assessed during the IVF process.
