Infertility is a deeply personal and often emotional journey for individuals and couples. While not always spoken about openly, approximately 1 in 6 people worldwide will struggle with infertility. Understanding infertility is an important step toward hope, healing and support.
Depending on the cause of infertility, your OB/GYN may be able to offer a solution. Others may benefit from seeing a specialist. Marshall Health’s reproductive endocrinologist, William Burns, MD, FACOG, and the care team at Cabell Huntington Hospital’s (CHH) Center for Advanced Reproductive Medicine offer diagnostic testing for men and women, including assisted reproductive technology such as intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, oral and injectable "fertility drugs" and surgery. Simpler treatment methods – some that are not commonly available nationally – may also be recommended based on the patient’s individual needs.
