Infertility Treatment in Beverly Hills

At Joseph Roofeh, MD, we understand that dealing with infertility can be one of the most challenging experiences in a person’s life. Our compassionate approach to women’s health and fertility support combines thorough evaluation with personalized care. If you’re experiencing problems with conception, our health care provider team works diligently to help identify possible causes through comprehensive testing and create a supportive plan to improve your chances of pregnancy. While we do not perform procedures such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), egg retrieval, or storage, we guide patients toward trusted fertility specialists for those services when needed. Our role is to provide comprehensive women’s health care, diagnostic insight, and ongoing support throughout your fertility journey.

Female Fertility Evaluation and Support

Fertility challenges in women can involve complex issues such as hormonal imbalance, ovulation irregularities, or conditions affecting the uterus and ovaries. We provide:
  • Detailed medical history review
  • Hormone testing and cycle evaluation
  • Ultrasound imaging for reproductive health assessment
  • Guidance and referrals to reproductive endocrinology specialists for advanced treatments such as IVF or IUI
Our goal is to ensure you have a complete understanding of your fertility health and the best pathway forward, whether that involves treatment in our office or with a referred specialist.

Male Fertility Guidance

Male infertility can result from issues with sperm count, testicular health, or hormonal factors. While Dr. Roofeh’s clinic does not provide direct infertility treatment for men, we can help identify when a male partner may benefit from evaluation by a urologist or male fertility specialist. These specialists can provide semen analysis, address hormonal concerns, and recommend targeted treatments to improve fertility outcomes.

Can Male Infertility Be Cured?

In many cases, male infertility can be improved or resolved with the right diagnosis and treatment. Common options offered by male infertility specialists include hormonal therapy, surgical correction of physical issues, and procedures to retrieve sperm for use in assisted reproductive techniques. If you suspect a male fertility factor, we will guide you toward trusted providers for appropriate evaluation and care.

Treatment to Support Conception

For couples trying to conceive, we focus on optimizing women’s reproductive health and creating a supportive care plan. This may include:
  • Hormonal regulation and ovulation monitoring
  • Medications such as Clomifene or Letrozole when appropriate
  • Lifestyle and nutrition guidance to promote fertility
By addressing underlying health concerns and coordinating with fertility specialists when needed, we aim to give you the best possible foundation for a healthy pregnancy.

Understanding the cause of infertility is essential for effective treatment. Our thorough infertility evaluation considers various infertility causes and risk factors including genetic disorders, autoimmune disorders, and environmental factors. We take a detailed medical history to identify potential issues such as sexually transmitted diseases, obesity, and lifestyle factors like smoking.

Our comprehensive assessment also looks for tubal disease and endocrine disorders that may contribute to fertility challenges, ensuring no potential factors are overlooked.

The most common factors affecting female fertility include:
  • Hormone fluctuations and ovulation problems – Irregular hormonal patterns can prevent regular egg release
  • Fallopian tube blockages – Often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or prior surgeries
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – A common reproductive system disorder affecting ovulation
  • Endometriosis and uterine fibroids – These conditions can interfere with implantation and pregnancy
Additional factors may include cervical mucus issues and other tubal disease variants that impair egg transportation and fertilization.
Male fertility issues typically stem from:
  • Sperm abnormalities affecting count, shape, or movement
  • Testicular disorders including varicocele (enlarged veins in the testicles)
  • Infections affecting sperm production
  • Hormonal disorders impacting sperm development
  • Lifestyle factors such as smoking and obesity
A male infertility specialist may also evaluate for issues like erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, and low sperm motility. In some cases, congenital iodine deficiency syndrome and other developmental conditions may play a role in male fertility challenges.
Potential indicators of fertility issues in women may include:
  • Irregular menstruation or abnormal menstrual cycle patterns
  • Painful periods that may suggest underlying conditions
  • Anovulation (lack of ovulation)
  • Significant changes to your menstrual cycle
  • Reduced sex drive
  • Severe acne or unexpected weight gain
  • Abnormal hair growth or thinning hair on the scalp
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, we recommend scheduling a consultation for proper evaluation and guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after a year of trying, or six months in women 35 and older. Or, it may be challenging to stay pregnant (frequent miscarriages or stillbirths).

While infertility is common, your risk of infertility increases as you get older. Overexercising, stress, and exposure to toxins, also affects your ability to conceive.

Infertility can occur from many different causes. In women, infertility usually occurs from issues with ovulation — when your ovaries release an egg.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that also affects ovulation. Women with PCOS may have eight or fewer periods a year. PCOS is a common cause of infertility in women.

Women might also struggle with infertility if there’s a structural problem affecting their reproductive organs. For example, scar tissue from endometriosis that blocks the fallopian tube.

Though, it’s important to note that infertility doesn’t just happen for women. Men may also have health issues that affect fertility, like unhealthy sperm or a low sperm count.

You can expect a patient-centered evaluation when you visit Dr. Roofeh for help with infertility. Dr. Roofeh asks detailed questions about your menstrual cycle, gynecological history, and family history.

He also conducts a physical and pelvic exam and runs lab work to check ovulation and hormone levels. He may order an ultrasound test to evaluate your ovaries. Dr. Roofeh may also suggest your partner undergo infertility testing to check sperm health.

Treatment for infertility depends on the underlying cause. If you have an underlying gynecological condition affecting your ability to conceive, Dr. Roofeh starts by addressing that health issue to improve your chances of pregnancy. He may also perform da Vinci® robotic surgery to fix any structural abnormalities.

If the cause of your infertility is unknown, Dr. Roofeh offers ovulation induction. He prescribes medication that increases the number of eggs you produce during your menstrual cycle. He uses ultrasound imaging to evaluate the dominant follicle (the follicle in the ovary large enough to grow and release the mature egg).

Ovulation induction may help improve your chances of conception. If you continue to have problems getting pregnant, Dr. Roofeh may suggest other infertility treatments like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
