It has been shown that unexplained infertility may affect up to 30% of couples worldwide. Yet, even with such a high percentile, diagnosis treatment and management of these cases are often ill-defined, inconsistent and erroneous. A true diagnosis of unexplained infertility requires a skillful clinician and sufficient diagnostic testing.
Dr. Katherine Alexander Anderson joins us for Explaining the Unexplained: An Integrative Approach to Unexplained Infertility.
Dr. Anderson's webinar presentation recording is now available for review in our Webinar Archives.
Lack of standardized diagnostic protocols in infertility cases leads to non-identification of explainable cause and therefore improper treatment and loss of time. Western medical treatment approaches typically involve drugs, procedures and surgery as a way of dictating the reproductive system. But many reasons may exist for why the body is not conceiving even though it’s not showing up diagnostically. This presentation will explore what unexplained infertility is and isn’t, how to question the status quo when a patient has been labeled with this diagnosis, as well as how to assess and treat this condition with an integrative mindset.
