Infertility Diagnosis at Complete Healthcare for Women

Located in Richland, WA, our facility is equipped to conduct tests for both men and women. The process begins with you sharing your conception journey with us, including how long you’ve been trying. This gives us the critical information we need to formulate an accurate diagnosis.

The tests that you and your partner might require depend on various factors. Once you schedule a consultation with us, we can expound on this and ensure that you receive the appropriate care.

Coping with the News of Infertility

Learning that you or your partner are grappling with infertility, and that having a child could be challenging, can trigger a range of emotional and psychological impacts.

The journey of conceiving amidst infertility can be arduous and prolonged. It can give rise to issues between partners that, if not handled properly, may affect the relationship. It could be beneficial to consider couple’s counseling as a means of navigating through these feelings during this period.

Understanding Infertility Treatment Options

An encouraging statistic is that about 90% of infertility cases can be treated successfully through medications or surgery. Oral medications can enhance the chances of ovulation and generation of a viable egg. Additionally, hormone injections might be used to boost fertility.

Surgical interventions such as laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis or tubal surgery for unblocking fallopian tubes may be necessary in certain cases. Artificial insemination could also be a viable option for some women. After your consultation at our office, Dr. Lorenzo and Kortney Jones ARNP are prepared to discuss your options in a more comprehensive manner.
