Advances in Infertility Work-up, Treatment, and ART

Can one imagine infertility diagnosis and treatment without imaging? Ultrasound has become the main tool and has revolutionized the practice by reproductive specialists worldwide and is used daily by the authors. From the first encounter with the patients who have been suffering from infertility, ultrasound will be used for the evaluation of uterus and ovaries to rule out any abnormalities and evaluation of ovarian reserve. Ultrasound will be part of the monitor of a natural cycle, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with oral and injectable medications, and for ART. It will then be used to confirm intrauterine pregnancy and for the investigation of a pregnancy of unknown location and evaluation and treatment of ectopic pregnancy.
