Laparoscopy. Used to look inside the abdomen and internal genitalia.  Following general anesthesia an incision in the navel and one in the  lower abdomen, then carbon dioxide is injected into the area to extend  and divert the intestine possible. The laparoscope (thin device equipped  with tiny camera) is inserted through the first cut and the second  probe is placed, allowing the doctor to view the abdominal cavity  through a monitor, which serves as a guide for handling surgical  instruments. Enables display tubes, uterus and ovaries, and allows  biopsy, suction and electrocoagulated adhesions (undo applying small  electric shocks) endometriosis, a condition characterized by the  formation of small cysts in the endometrial, causing enlargement in the  matrix.

Endometrial biopsy. Is performed in the office and involves removing a  small sample of the endometrial. It takes about 10 minutes and takes  place between 1 and 3 days before the onset of menstruation. Allows  diagnosis of whether ovulation and hormone levels in the second half of  the cycle are normal. It also serves to determine if the uterus is free  from infection or inflammation.

Other problems that can cause failure of pregnancy in women are the  presence of infections in the reproductive organs, which are usually  transmitted by sexual contact. The clearest example and that claims more  victims every day, is cervical cancer, a condition caused by human  papillomavirus, genital warts which way that will lead to the deadly  disease.

To rule out suspected, the doctor will prescribe the Pap test, which  allows a collection of mucus in the vagina and cervix for microscopic  examination and determine the presence of any condition. Also, diagnosis  may require colposcopy, simple procedure for exploring the female  reproductive tract using a speculum, which allows the visualization of  tissues in the area through a modified microscope called a colposcope.

Irregular or abnormal ovulation is the cause of approximately 25% of  infertility cases. However, make a record of basal body temperature is a  simple and inexpensive to tell if a woman ovulates, the same procedure  can be performed.

To affect this, the woman must take her temperature orally every  morning, as soon as you wake up, for a minimum period of one month, and  record the record. During the days of ovulation are increased levels of  estrogen and progesterone, which causes the body temperature to rise  about half a degree (between 13 and 16).

Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries after ovulation, which  transforms the lining of the uterus in a receptive environment for  implantation and nutrition of the fertilized egg.

If no ovulation, typically the temperature remains relatively stable.  Note that factors unrelated to the reproductive cycle, such as cold or  fatigue, can affect the registration.

Another method of identifying the fertile days is checked daily cervical  mucus secretion, through the vagina a piece of toilet paper, which at  first is yellowish-white, thick and cloudy, which means that in those  days there fertility. Once the cervical mucus becomes transparent color  and sticky consistency (similar to egg white) can ensure that reached  the fertile period, which usually lasts between 3 to 5 days and when  these conditions are present, the sperm can spend more easily into the  uterus and fallopian tubes.

After this time no fertility and secretion changes again becoming milky, or disappears.

It is not uncommon that infertility repercussion on relationships, and  for that to surface cause anger, sadness, guilt and anxiety. Share these  feelings with family and friends are not easy, which often leads to  isolation. If it is the responsibility of the physician to clarify the  likelihood of pregnancy, the couple will decide how far wants to go in  their attempts to conceive.
