We Care You Have Your Own Family
Starting a family is a life suiting experience, it is a decision of responsibility. Sometimes, a little assistance is needed to start a family. We have made the determination to commit ourselves to make sure you achieve your dream of having your own family. Infertility is the inability of a woman to get pregnant after trying for about a year. The reason could be a trifling one where treatment could range from taking pills to minor medical attention.
Fertility Rate
The fertility rate at a given age is the number of children born alive to women of that age during the year as a proportion of the average annual population of women of the same age.
By extension, the fertility rate is the ratio between the number of live births in a year and the whole female population of childbearing age (average number of women between 15 and 50 years of age over the year). Unlike total period fertility, the fertility rate is partly dependent on trends in the age structure of women between the ages of 15 and 50.
What are the different types of fertility treatments?
- clomifene – encourages the monthly release of an egg (ovulation) in women who do not ovulate regularly or cannot ovulate at all.
- tamoxifen – an alternative to clomifene that may be offered if you have ovulation problems.
- meformin– is particularly beneficial for women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- gonadotrophins – can help stimulate ovulation in women, and may also improve fertility in men.

Several Types of Surgical Procedures
Fallopian tube surgery
Surgery can be used to break up the scar tissue in your fallopian tubes, making it easier for eggs to pass through them.
The success of surgery will depend on the extent of the damage to your fallopian tubes.
Endometriosis, fibroids and PCOS
Endometriosis is when parts of the womb lining start growing outside the womb.
Laparoscopic surgery is often used to treat endometriosis by destroying or removing fluid-filled sacs called cysts.
It may also be used to remove submucosal fibroids, which are small growths in the womb.
Correcting an epididymal blockage and surgery to retrieve sperm
The epididymis is a coil-like structure in the testicles that helps store and transport sperm.
Sometimes the epididymis becomes blocked, preventing sperm from being ejaculated normally. If this is causing infertility, surgery can be used to correct the blockage.
Both operations take a few hours and are done under local anaesthetic as outpatient procedures.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, involves inserting sperm into the womb via a thin plastic tube passed through the cervix.
Sperm is first collected and washed in a fluid. The best quality specimens (the fastest moving) are selected.
In vitro fertilisation (IVF)
In vitro fertilisation (IVF), is when an egg is fertilised outside the body. Fertility medicine is taken to encourage the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual.
Eggs are removed from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. A fertilised egg (embryo) is then returned to the womb to grow and develop.
Egg and sperm donation
If you or your partner has an infertility problem, you may be able to receive eggs or sperm from a donor to help you conceive. Treatment with donor eggs is usually done using IVF.
