The desire to have children fulfilled.

Could organic causes that can be treated with minimally invasive surgery be standing in the way of your desire to have children? Read here what solution a procedure might offer to help make your dream come true.

Brief overview: how the desire to have children may still be fulfilled.

There are numerous reasons why having a child has not worked out so far. As soon as an organic cause is identified—possibly with an underlying psychological component—there are minimally invasive surgical options available.

This is especially the case when functional disorders of the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries are the underlying cause of infertility.

Above all, the psychological burden can be a real ordeal for the women affected—and of course for their partners as well. Self-doubt about “not being able to manage it” or “not being right” often gnaws at self-confidence. This is a detrimental way of thinking, because conception is most likely to occur when one is relaxed and approaches it with a certain lightness.

With regard to organic complaints, lower abdominal pain and irregular bleeding can be indicators underlying infertility.

On the organic side, obstruction and functional disorders of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are usually the cause of an unfulfilled desire to have children. They often occur in the form of adhesions or scar tissue involving the fallopian tubes. Are there changes within the uterine cavity?

The answer to this question can also point to the underlying cause, because tissue septa, fibroids, polyps, or other adhesions promote infertility. In the case of fibroids—which are responsible for up to 10% of all cases—it is those located beneath the uterine lining or within the uterine wall for which a thorough examination can clear the path to having one’s own child.

How can the cause be identified? Today, infertility diagnostics usually consist of hysteroscopy (uterine endoscopy), sometimes combined with an endometrial biopsy, followed by laparoscopy (abdominal endoscopy). This allows Asst. Prof. Dr. Ermis to assess the abdominal cavity and the organs and, if appropriate, to take tissue samples or perform corrective surgical procedures during the same session. Both procedures are minimally invasive.

With the certainty that the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are functioning properly, the psychological burden usually eases as well. The pressure is lifted from the women or couples affected. And with an undisturbed focus on a life with a child, the conditions for this joyful event are most likely to be met.

When are you ready to take what may be the decisive step toward having a child of your own? Asst. Prof. Dr. Ermis takes time for you. Schedule your appointment now at 069-407 15 50. Or send a message to gynaekologie@rotkreuzkliniken.de.
