Medical Travel works with clinics across Greece, helping each patient connect with an appropriate fertility specialist and treatment centre. The approach is personal: every pathway is developed around the patient’s medical needs, preferences and circumstances.
Fertility concerns can affect either partner. An appropriate assessment considers age, medical history, lifestyle and reproductive health before any treatment is proposed.
When to ask for help
It may be worth speaking with a fertility consultant if pregnancy has not occurred after a year of trying, or sooner where age, irregular or painful periods, previous surgery, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic infection, testicular injury or another known health concern may affect fertility.
Female infertility
Female infertility is commonly described as the inability to conceive within twelve months of trying. Possible factors include age-related changes, ovulation disorders, fallopian-tube conditions and conditions affecting the uterine cavity.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome and other ovulation disorders
- Hyperprolactinaemia and hormonal imbalance
- Fallopian-tube obstruction, hydrosalpinx or adhesions
- Fibroids, endometrial adhesions or endometrial hyperplasia
Male infertility
Male-factor infertility is commonly associated with an insufficient number of healthy sperm or reduced sperm function. Assessment may consider health and lifestyle, environmental exposure, medical history, hormonal disorders, infection, varicocele and previous treatment.
Semen analysis and sperm culture are among the tests a clinician may consider during an initial assessment. Any testing and interpretation must be undertaken by qualified clinicians.
Preserving fertility
Fertility preservation may be considered before treatment that could affect reproductive capacity, or for personal and family-planning reasons. Options described in the archive included sperm freezing, egg cryopreservation and embryo cryopreservation.
The appropriate method and timing depend on individual circumstances and require specialist medical advice.
Donor treatment
Treatment pathways may also include embryo, egg or sperm donation where pregnancy using both partners’ genetic material is not possible. This is a significant personal and clinical decision requiring careful discussion with a fertility specialist and embryologist.
