Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

 

The reproductive endocrinologists at the University of Illinois Medical Center offer state-of-the-art reproductive technology, encompassing diagnostic and treatment options for couples that have been unable to conceive. Our unique program combines the expertise of board-certified reproductive endocrinologists and urologists. Working as a team, these specialists approach infertility as a complex problem in both men and women.

We offer the most advanced reproductive techniques of artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization, microsurgical repair and hormonal therapy. Reproductive endocrinologists have helped many patients conceive through our advanced assisted reproductive technology program. Patients with varied problems including tubal disease, endometriosis, severe male factor infertility and unexplained infertility have been able to conceive with help from the caring specialists at the Medical Center.

 

Our Services

Our program offers the latest advances in infertility diagnosis and treatment, including

  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) – Involves fertilization outside the body in a laboratory environment.
  • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) – A technique to help achieve fertilization for couples with severe male factor infertility or couples who have had failure to fertilize in a previous in vitro fertilization attempt.
  • Ovum Donor Program – Egg donation allowing women who do not produce eggs or produce eggs unlikely to result in healthy, successful embryos to become pregnant.
  • Male Factor – Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment in a range of microsurgical procedures and endocrinological treatments that can be offered for infertility treatment.
  • Embryo Freezing – Procedure in which embryos are cooled and stored at low temperatures to be thawed at a future date and transferred to the uterus, providing additional opportunity for achieving conception.

Our physician specialists are also skilled in the evaluation and treatment of a range of endocrinologic (hormonal) disorders such as irregular or abnormal menstrual periods, increased hair growth (hirsutism), polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopausal problems and osteoporosis, early or delayed sexual development and pre-menstrual syndrome.
