In many cases, there is more than one cause, so a complete and thorough evaluation is essential. In order to recommend which treatment option is best suited for your specific problem, we must first identify the source of your problem. Current reports show that problems are female related in approximately 35% of cases, male related in approximately 35% of cases, and combined in 20% of cases. About 10% of cases fall into the category of unexplained infertility because all of the diagnostic testing turns out to be normal.We perform a complete review of each partner"s medical history and medical records at the initial consultation as described above. A physical examination will also be performed during the course of evaluation and additional diagnostic testing will be ordered based on the initial evaluation. Our individual approach to your care means that only the appropriate tests are performed, saving you both time and expense. Dr. Chang will be able to personally perform every aspect of the diagnostic testing required assuring continuity of care and the highest standard in medical care. In cases where male infertility is suspected, additional testing and a consultation with an urologist may be recommended."
