Women should consider a referral to a specialist like Dr Dunn for fertility assessment, if they have not conceived, and:
- are younger than 35 years of age, and have had 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse.
- are over 35 years of age, and have had six months of regular, unprotected intercourse
- are over 40 years of age, and have had three months of regular, unprotected intercourse
- have other risk factors for male or female infertility (including endometriosis, irregular menstrual cycles, PCOS, testicular damage)
At least one in six Australians trying to conceive will seek help for fertility. The causes for subfertility can be both male and female physiological factors and include conditions like cystic fibrosis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and ovulatory dysfunction.
DR DUNN WILL ARRANGE A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT INCLUDING BLOOD AND SEMEN TESTS, MEDICAL IMAGING AND ENDOSCOPIC (MINIMALLY INVASIVE) PROCEDURES TO ASCERTAIN THE CAUSE FOR SUBFERTILITY.
Treatment options for subfertility with Dr Dunn include:
- Ovulation tracking and timed intercourse
- Ovulation induction
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Women’s Health Only has partnered with City Fertility to offer patients access to comprehensive reproductive services, including donor eggs and sperm, surrogate pregnancy support (governed by Queensland State legislation) and fertility cryopreservation services (egg, sperm and embryo freezing).
Dr Dunn currently on-refers patients requiring advanced fertility treatments.
