What Is Female Infertility?
Female infertility refers to a woman’s inability to conceive naturally after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if she is above 35 years).
It can result from hormonal imbalances, ovulation problems, fallopian tube blockages, uterine issues, or age-related decline in egg quality.
That’s why a detailed set of female infertility tests is the first step toward an accurate diagnosis and the right Infertility Treatment in Kolhapur.
Key Tests to Check Female Infertility
1️⃣ Hormonal Blood Tests
These tests help understand how well your ovaries, thyroid, and reproductive hormones are functioning.
- FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone): Checks egg reserve and ovarian function.
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Monitors ovulation.
- AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): Measures ovarian reserve (number of eggs remaining).
- Estradiol (E2): Evaluates estrogen levels that support egg growth.
- TSH & Prolactin: Detect thyroid or prolactin imbalance which can affect ovulation.
At Orchid IVF, all these hormone tests are done in coordination with your menstrual cycle for the most accurate results.
2️⃣ Ultrasound Scan (Pelvic / Transvaginal Sonography)
A non-invasive scan that gives a clear picture of your reproductive organs.
It helps to detect:
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Uterine fibroids or polyps
- Endometrial thickness (lining health)
- Follicle growth during ovulation
Dr. Puja Ghorpade personally interprets each scan to plan the best Infertility Treatment in Kolhapur.
3️⃣ Ovulation Testing
Ovulation problems are among the top causes of female infertility.
Tests include:
- Ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) – at-home urine tests for LH surge
- Mid-luteal progesterone test – confirms if ovulation occurred
- Serial follicular monitoring – ultrasound tracking of egg release
If ovulation is irregular, medications or hormonal support may be part of your treatment plan at Orchid IVF Center.
4️⃣ Hysterosalpingography (HSG Test)
This X-ray test checks if your fallopian tubes are open and your uterus is normal.
A dye is passed through the cervix into the uterus and tubes — if it flows freely, the tubes are open.
A blocked tube can prevent the sperm from meeting the egg, and if detected early, it can be treated through laparoscopic procedures or assisted methods like IVF.
5️⃣ Sonohysterography or Hysteroscopy
These advanced tests help evaluate the inside of the uterus in detail.
They detect:
- Uterine fibroids, septum, or adhesions
- Polyps that can affect implantation
At Orchid IVF, hysteroscopy is performed with precision and care to ensure maximum comfort and diagnostic accuracy.
6️⃣ Laparoscopy (Diagnostic)
In some cases, a laparoscopy is recommended to directly visualize the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
It helps detect:
- Endometriosis
- Pelvic adhesions
- Blocked tubes or cysts
It’s a minor surgical procedure done under anesthesia — often both diagnostic and therapeutic.
7️⃣ Cervical & Infection Tests
Cervical infections or vaginal imbalances can affect sperm survival and fertilization.
Tests may include:
- Pap smear
- Vaginal swab culture
- Tests for STIs or pelvic infections
Treating these issues can often restore fertility naturally.
What Happens After the Tests?
Once all test results are ready, Dr. Puja Ghorpade, one of the most trusted IVF specialists in the region, reviews the complete report to identify the main cause.
