FAQs
What are infertility-related structural issues?

How are structural infertility issues diagnosed?

Can structural problems be corrected surgically?
Yes. Minimally invasive surgery can correct adhesions, fibroids, uterine septa, endometriomas, and tubal blockages.
Does correcting structural issues guarantee pregnancy?
Surgical correction improves chances of conception, but success may also depend on age, ovarian reserve, and sperm quality.
