Structural Testing for Fertility: Identifying Physical Barriers to Conception

Structural abnormalities in the reproductive system can impact fertility by affecting ovulation, egg transport, implantation, and pregnancy success. At Rainbow, we offer comprehensive structural testing to assess the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, ensuring there are no physical obstacles preventing conception.

​

Why Undergo Structural Fertility Testing?

✔ Identify Blocked Fallopian Tubes – Ensure eggs can travel freely for fertilisation.
✔ Detect Uterine Abnormalities – Fibroids, polyps, adhesions, or a septum can interfere with implantation.
✔ Assess Ovarian Health – Check for ovarian cysts, endometriosis, or polycystic ovaries that may affect egg quality.
✔ Optimise Implantation & Pregnancy Success – A properly shaped and receptive uterus is crucial for embryo development.
✔ Personalised Treatment Plans – Address any physical issues before starting fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.

​

Our Structural Testing Includes:

🩺 Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) – An X-ray with contrast dye to evaluate fallopian tube openness and uterine shape.
🔬 Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) – A specialised ultrasound to detect polyps, fibroids, or adhesions inside the uterus.
🦠 Pelvic Ultrasound – Assesses ovarian reserve, cysts, fibroids, and endometrial lining health.
🩸 Laparoscopy & Hysteroscopy (If Needed) – Minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat conditions like endometriosis or uterine abnormalities.

Structural issues are often treatable, improving the chances of natural conception or assisted fertility success. If you’ve been struggling to conceive, schedule your structural fertility evaluation today and take the next step toward parenthood!
