Ovulation induction involves the treatment of fertility hormones that stimulate the production of ova from the ovaries. Treatment medication can be done orally or through injections. Once ovulation occurs, conception is then normally achieved through intra-uterine insemination. Patients who will benefit from ovulation induction are often those who suffer from endometriosis, PCOS, ovarian disfunction and couples who have unclear infertility issues.

Menopause is a natural progressive condition that effects women above a certain age in which the production of oestrogen and progesterone begins to slow. Women can experience a variety of symptoms which can include, but is not limited to abnormal periods, night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, hair loss, weight gain, difficulty with memory and attention etc. To relieve some of these symptoms, HRT can be used to replace the hormones that are no longer naturally produced. Various hormone replacement therapy methods exist and can be discussed with your doctor.
