Infertility is a growing concern for women worldwide, affecting nearly 1 in 8 couples. While conventional treatments like IVF can be effective, they often overlook the underlying causes of infertility, such as hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, poor diet, and environmental toxins. At Patients Medical, we take an integrative approach to female infertility that combines conventional medicine, functional medicine, and holistic therapies to identify and treat the root causes of infertility, helping you achieve your fertility goals naturally, when possible.
We treat the whole person—not just the reproductive system.

Infertility can result from various factors affecting ovulation, the fallopian tubes, the uterus, or hormonal balance. Common causes of infertility in women include:

Results can vary, but many patients begin to see improvements in 3-6 months. Success depends on the root causes of infertility and how well they respond to treatment.
