Reproductology
Within a year, 30% of couples become pregnant within three months, 60% within seven months, and the rest within a year. Based on this, a year is considered the time frame for the Reproductology assessment of a couple's fertility.
If there is no pregnancy, the couple should consult a fertility doctor about infertility. Reproductology is a field of medicine that deals with the study of normal human reproductive function and its pathological conditions which lead to infertility.

Appointment with a reproductologist
A doctor of reproductology is most often consulted by couples suffering from infertility. However, the specialist's activity spans a wider range: from prevention, diagnostics and treatment of infertility without the use of ART to the use of assisted reproductive technologies. The preventive work of the doctor of reproductology (together with pediatricians) consists in timely detection of pathology in adolescents, which may lead to infertility in reproductive age. The doctor deals with menstrual cycle disorders, pregnancy failure, toxicosis of pregnancy.
Come to see a reproductologist always in pairs - husband and wife. If the examinations have been carried out earlier, the results should be taken to a specialist for consultation. Reproductologist's work with a couple who come for an appointment regarding infertility begins with identifying the causes of infertility.
Since reproductology combines sections of gynecology, andrology and endocrinology, treatment is carried out in conjunction with these specialists. In some cases it is possible to treat infertility and in some cases to overcome infertility. As a result of treatment, patients (male or female) regain their fertility. This can be restoration of the patency of the fallopian tubes and the seminal tracts by surgery or surgical treatment of the varicocele.
To overcome infertility, reproductology uses medical technology that results in the couple having children, but infertility is not eliminated. In this case, the reproductologist uses assisted reproductive technologies (IVF, ICSI) most effective in a particular situation. The success of a reproductologist's work is ensured through the coordinated action and professionalism of other specialists: obstetricians-gynecologists, andrologists, embryologists, geneticists. Therefore, when planning reproductive technologies, an embryologist and geneticist as well as a reproductive surgeon must be consulted. Preparing the couple for treatment, the doctor also conducts psychotherapeutic adjustments.
