Who is a fertility doctor?

Despite the active development of fertility science as a separate area of medicine, many people still do not understand the difference between gynaecologists and fertility doctors. Today we will tell you more about the "fertility doctor" speciality.

A gynaecologist or fertility doctor?

Initially, all fertility doctors are gynaecologists who eventually focus on “narrower” speciality.

A gynaecologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats diseases of the female genital sphere.

A fertility doctor is a specialist who diagnoses and treats both female and male infertility.

What does a fertility doctor treat?

A fertility doctor helps to cure or overcome infertility. What is the difference? Infertility can develop for a number of reasons, and the tactics for dealing with the problem will directly depend thereon. For example, if pregnancy does not occur due to a chronic inflammatory process, it can be treated, and it will be possible to get pregnant naturally. However, if a woman has an obstruction of the fallopian tubes (or they have been removed), then such infertility cannot be cured. Still, it can be overcome with the help of assisted reproductive technologies (IVF).

What will happen during your visit to a fertility doctor?

During the initial attendance, there is always a long conversation, history taking and studying the findings of the previous investigative procedures and analyses (if any). Also, during your first appointment, the doctor can perform a gynaecological examination and pelvic ultrasound.

Come with your spouse to the first appointment with a fertility doctor, preferably on the 5-12th day of the cycle, so that the doctor can perform an examination and ultrasound.

Where are fertility doctors available in Minsk?

How much does a fertility doctor consultation cost?

The price of a fertility doctor consultation will depend on the chosen clinic. A mid-range cost (visit with ultrasound) is from 33 to 80 rubles.

How to choose a fertility doctor?

Firstly, you can study information about doctors and their experience on the clinic’s website. Secondly, look through the selected clinic's social networks (perhaps there is some information about doctors). Thirdly, check out other resources for reviews about fertility doctors in Minsk. This will help you make the ultimate judgement for the chosen specialist.
