Reproductive medicine: what to know

Reproductive medicine deals with difficulties in conceiving a child, for both women and men. The specialist looks for possible causes of infertility, explains the options available, such as ovarian stimulation, insemination or in vitro fertilisation, and supports the couple throughout the process.

When to book an appointment

• No pregnancy after several months of regular trying
• Irregular periods combined with the wish for a child
• Fertility assessment for a man or a woman
• Wishing to preserve fertility before medical treatment

Costs in Switzerland

Some infertility tests and treatments are covered by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG), whereas in vitro fertilisation is generally not reimbursed.
