Fertility challenges can be an emotional and complex journey. At Toowoomba Obstetrics and Gynaecology (TOAG), patients find qualified, compassionate support from Dr Lanziz Homar, a gynaecologist dedicated to guiding individuals and couples through fertility evaluation and treatment. This blog explains the crucial role of a gynaecologist in fertility care and the services available locally.
How Does a Gynaecologist Support Fertility?
A gynaecologist is often the first specialist women see when facing difficulties conceiving. They perform initial assessments to identify underlying conditions affecting fertility, such as:
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that may affect ovulation.
- Endometriosis: Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, that can cause pain and fertility problems.
- Other conditions affecting reproductive organs or hormonal balance.
Dr Lanziz Homar uses a combination of medical history, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests to understand each patient’s unique situation.
Fertility Testing and Diagnosis
Initial fertility testing involves:
- Blood tests to check hormone levels and ovarian reserve
- Ultrasound scans to examine the uterus and ovaries
- Semen analysis for male partners
These tests help identify causes of infertility and guide treatment decisions. Dr Homar explains the results in clear terms, providing reassurance and personalised advice.
Treatment Options and Referrals
Depending on the diagnosis, treatments may include:
- Lifestyle changes and medical management to optimise fertility
- Ovulation induction to stimulate egg release
- Surgical treatment for conditions like endometriosis or fibroids
If advanced treatment is required, Dr Homar can arrange referrals for assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF.
Throughout the fertility journey, Dr Homar provides ongoing support, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of treatment.
