How can IRML help?

Many couples find it hard to conceive a child naturally and are often left frustrated as to why. They will often form their own preconceived ideas as to why they are not falling pregnant. 

Dr Reyftmann can help couples find the root cause of these infertility problems and treat them appropriately so they too can enjoy the joys of parenthood.

He always keeps an integrated vision of fertility practice. The interventions offered are gradually stepped from simple medical and lifestyle management, up to advanced laparoscopic surgery or assisted reproductive technologies (IVF, ICSI) depending on the individual case and the patients’ wish. Not all patients need or wish to go through assisted reproduction techniques, it is so much better to make a baby the old way, under a doona, whenever possible...!

The fertility treatments offered include:

• Female and male infertility
• Counselling and second opinion
• Lifestyle therapies
• Ovulation induction
• PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) management
• Explorations and management of recurrent miscarriages
• In vitro fertilization IVF
• Intra cytoplasmic spermatozoid injection ICSI
• Intra Uterine Inseminations IUI
• In selected cases, we offer IVF with natural cycles and mild stimulated cycles

Laparoscopic services offered for:

• Endometriosis
• Hysterectomy
• Female sterilisation
• Infertility surgery
• Heavy menstrual bleedings
• Reproductive surgery
• Benign conditions surgery (ovarian cysts)
