Patient information

Specialty of Assisted Reproduction

The Assisted Reproduction Department at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital cares for women and couples who are struggling to conceive or who require advanced reproductive medicine techniques. It intervenes following a comprehensive fertility assessment when pregnancy is not achieved spontaneously or when there are medical factors affecting fertility.

This department has been developed in collaboration with IVI Clinics, world leaders in assisted reproduction with over 35 years’ experience. They boast the finest specialists, high success rates and state-of-the-art technology, all dedicated entirely to providing their patients with the most personalised care.

The aim is to offer a structured, safe and personalised approach that maximises the chances of pregnancy whilst maintaining clinical oversight at every stage of the process.

Specialist fertility assessment

This speciality caters for women and couples who are experiencing difficulties conceiving or who require a specialist assessment of their fertility. The initial assessment helps to identify the cause of the reproductive problem, estimate the prognosis and determine the most appropriate treatment strategy for each individual case.

It is particularly aimed at:

  • Women with low ovarian reserve or of advanced reproductive age

  • Couples with male-factor or female-factor infertility

  • Recurrent implantation failure

  • Recurrent miscarriages

  • Carriers of genetic abnormalities

  • Patients requiring fertility preservation

In all cases, the therapeutic approach is determined following a comprehensive fertility assessment covering hormonal, anatomical, genetic and semen-related factors, with the aim of providing a personalised and clinically sound strategy.

When to seek advice on assisted reproduction A specialist assessment is recommended if pregnancy has not been achieved after a year of trying naturally, or after six months in women over the age of 35. It is also recommended if there is a suspicion of any medical complications or a family history of genetic disorders.

Assisted reproductive techniques

The choice of reproductive technique is made after taking into account the results of the fertility assessment and evaluating age, ovarian reserve, semen quality and medical history. The aim is to select the procedure that offers the greatest chance of success with the least possible physical and emotional impact.

The unit offers a full range of techniques tailored to the complexity of each individual case:

  • Artificial Insemination

  • In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

  • IVF with donated eggs

  • Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

The choice of each technique is based on objective medical criteria and an individual assessment of the reproductive prognosis, always prioritising clinical safety, the efficiency of the process and its suitability for each patient’s biological profile.

Fertility preservation

Fertility preservation is recommended for people who wish to delay parenthood, as well as for patients who are due to undergo potentially gonadotoxic medical treatments.

Planning is carried out following an individual assessment that takes into account age, ovarian reserve or semen quality, and any associated medical conditions.

Reproductive Treatment Planning

Each treatment plan is drawn up following a detailed medical assessment that takes into account biological factors, clinical history and reproductive goals. The planning process strikes a balance between efficacy, safety and emotional wellbeing.

The department is fully integrated into the hospital environment at the Memorial Publio Cordón, working in close coordination with Gynaecology, Clinical Genetics, Endocrinology and Urology where the case requires it. This collaboration enables us to take a comprehensive approach to cases involving greater reproductive complexity.

Clinical experience and reproductive outcomes The medical team’s experience and the quality of the embryology laboratory have a direct influence on ongoing pregnancy rates and the likelihood of a live birth. The application of evidence-based protocols, the appropriate choice of technique and rigorous monitoring of each stage of the process are crucial to optimising outcomes whilst ensuring clinical safety.

A specialist team and support throughout treatment

The fertility process requires clear information, sufficient time for reflection and structured follow-up. During consultations, we take the time needed to explain the diagnosis, the actual chances of success and the various treatment options available.

Risks, the duration of the process and realistic expectations are reviewed before starting each cycle. Decision-making is a shared process, particularly when there are several possible strategies.

Clinical support is provided throughout all stages of treatment, from ovarian stimulation through to embryo transfer and subsequent follow-up. This continuous support ensures medical reassurance and emotional stability throughout the entire process.
