Guest: Elizabeth A. Stewart, M.D.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. (@ChutkaMD)

Infertility can be related to health issues in the male, female or both. Whatever the reason, infertility can put a major strain on a couple’s relationship. To add to the stress, infertility often results in multiple exams, tests, injections and procedures for one or both of the couple. Fortunately, the cause of infertility can often be found and in some cases, treatment is effective, resulting in a successful pregnancy and birth. The topic of discussion for this podcast is infertility, specifically infertility in females. Our guest is Dr. Elizabeth (Ebbie) A. Stewart, a physician in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Division of Endocrinology and Infertility.

Specific topics discussed:

Definition of infertility
Prevalence of infertility
Risk factors for infertility
Recommended evaluation by primary care providers
Specialized evaluation performed by an infertility expert
Common causes of infertility in females
Success of infertility treatment
Invitro fertilization as a treatment alternative to infertility including cost, success rate and risk of multiple births
