Causes of infertility
An individual can know whether she is fertile if she has not been able to get pregnant after at least a year of having unprotected sex. When infertility relates to a woman, it may be due to:
- Disorders in ovulation
- Hormone imbalance
- Endometriosis
- Premature ovarian failure
- Structural abnormality of the cervix, uterus, or ovaries
These are the main causes of infertility in women, although there are women who experience infertility with no identifiable cause found.
Infertility diagnosis
Dr. Coppa performs physical exams to diagnose the reason why the patient cannot get pregnant. He also performs ovulation testing and hormone evaluation during an appointment. Dr. Coppa may request a patient to have an ultrasound or other imaging tests in order to get a better look into the patients’ reproductive organs. To explore the possible cause of infertility, he may also perform a laparoscopic surgical procedure where a slender surgical instrument is inserted via a small incision in the patient’s abdomen. In some cases, he may recommend genetic testing to determine whether the patient has a family history of a defect, which could be responsible for infertility. After the exam, Dr. Coppa offers preconception planning resources to help the patient to make a wise decision for the future.
Preconception planning

Dr. Coppa gives patient counseling on the method of birth control and discusses the aspect of the patient’s monthly period.
