Struggling to conceive can be an emotional and challenging journey. At HealthHub Clinics in Dubai, our Infertility Support service is dedicated to helping women overcome fertility issues with compassion and expertise. Infertility is generally defined as the inability to get pregnant after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (6 months if the woman is over 35). It’s a common problem – globally about 1 in 8 couples face difficulty conceiving, and in the UAE some estimates show as many as 1 in 5 couples have fertility challenges. Our experienced gynecologists focus on female infertility causes such as hormonal imbalances, ovulation disorders, fibroids, endometriosis, and blocked fallopian tubes. We guide you through personalized, non-IVF fertility treatments that can improve your chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Common Causes of Female Infertility
Ovulation Disorders & Hormonal Imbalances: Inconsistent or absent ovulation is a common cause of infertility. Hormonal disorders like PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) often lead to irregular periods and no ovulation. Other issues like thyroid dysfunction or elevated prolactin can likewise disrupt ovulation.
Blocked Fallopian Tubes: If one or both fallopian tubes are blocked or damaged (often from pelvic infections, endometriosis, or past surgeries), the egg and sperm cannot meet, preventing fertilization.
Endometriosis: This condition occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus (on the ovaries, tubes, etc.), causing inflammation and scar tissue. Endometriosis and fertility issues often go hand-in-hand, as endometriosis can disrupt reproductive organs and hinder implantation.
Uterine Fibroids & Polyps: Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, and polyps are growths on the uterine lining. Large fibroids (especially those protruding into the uterine cavity) or multiple polyps can interfere with implantation or block the fallopian tubes, contributing to infertility.
Diagnostic Services for Infertility
We use several tests to identify the cause of infertility, including:
Hormone Tests: Blood tests to check for hormonal imbalances affecting ovulation (e.g. ovarian hormones, thyroid, prolactin).
Ultrasound: A pelvic ultrasound to examine your ovaries and uterus for issues like cysts, PCOS, or fibroids.
HSG (Hysterosalpingography): An X-ray procedure to verify that your fallopian tubes are open and the uterus has no abnormalities.
Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy (if needed): Minimally invasive procedures to directly inspect and address problems such as endometriosis, fibroids, or scar tissue.
Treatment Options for Female Infertility
At HealthHub Clinics, we provide a wide range of female infertility treatments aimed at addressing the specific causes identified during diagnosis. Our approach is personalized – we tailor each treatment plan to your unique circumstances, with the goal of achieving pregnancy in the least invasive way possible. Here are some of the primary infertility treatment options and support services we offer (excluding IVF):
Lifestyle Changes: Simple health adjustments can often boost fertility. We guide you on reaching a healthy weight (as being overweight or underweight can disrupt ovulation), eating a nutritious diet, and exercising regularly. We’ll also advise you to quit smoking and limit alcohol or excessive caffeine, as these habits can reduce fertility, and manage stress. All these changes can improve your chances of conceiving.
Ovulation Induction & Hormonal Therapy: If you are not ovulating regularly, medications like clomiphene citrate or letrozole can stimulate your ovaries to release eggs. We will also address any underlying hormonal issues (for example, treating thyroid or prolactin imbalances) to optimize your fertility. With careful monitoring of your cycle, ovulation induction helps many women – especially those with PCOS or other hormonal disorders – to ovulate and conceive.
Surgical Interventions: Our specialists can often fix physical problems with minor surgery. We use minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy or hysteroscopy) to remove or correct issues like fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, or scar tissue (and even to reopen blocked tubes when possible). For example, removing a fibroid that distorts the uterine cavity or clearing endometriosis implants can significantly improve your chances of conceiving. These procedures involve only small incisions and quick recovery times, effectively removing barriers to pregnancy.

By combining these treatment options, our Infertility Support program in Dubai addresses all aspects of female infertility – from lifestyle modifications and medications to advanced surgical solutions – all under one roof. We emphasize a holistic, stepwise treatment philosophy: starting with the simplest effective interventions and progressing to more advanced ones only if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When should I seek help from a fertility specialist?
Most doctors recommend seeing a fertility specialist if you haven’t conceived after 12 months of trying (or after 6 months if you’re over 35). You should seek help sooner if you have known issues like very irregular periods, extremely painful periods, or a history of pelvic infections or miscarriages.
How can lifestyle changes improve fertility
Healthy lifestyle habits can significantly boost fertility. Achieving a healthy weight is very important – being overweight or underweight can cause hormonal problems that affect ovulation. Eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise will support your reproductive health. We also recommend not smoking, limiting alcohol and excessive caffeine, and finding ways to reduce stress (through relaxation techniques or counseling). Our team will guide you in making these changes to improve your chances of conceiving.
Do you offer IVF or IUI?
No. HealthHub Clinics does not offer in vitro fertilization (IVF). Our services focus on non-IVF treatments – detailed evaluations, lifestyle guidance, ovulation induction, hormone therapies, and necessary minor surgeries. In some cases we may discuss intrauterine insemination (IUI).
Can conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or fibroids be treated to improve fertility?
Absolutely. Treating these conditions can often remove barriers to pregnancy. For example, many women with PCOS can conceive after ovulation is restored with medication (and lifestyle changes if needed). If you have endometriosis, laparoscopic surgery to remove endometrial lesions and scar tissue can improve fertility by restoring normal anatomy. If fibroids are interfering with pregnancy, we can remove them (via a minimally invasive myomectomy) to improve the chances of implantation. By addressing issues like PCOS, endometriosis, or fibroids, we significantly increase your likelihood of conceiving.
