This can include problems with the reproductive system, medical conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, or medicines someone may be taking. For example, around 30 \u2013 50% of women and people registered female at birth living with endometriosis<\/a> will experience fertility issues. Sometimes, the cause of fertility issues is never found.<\/p>\n Medical treatments are available, depending on the cause of infertility. This may include medication to make ovulation more regular, surgery to repair damage or problems with the reproductive organs and treatment to assist conception such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF).<\/p>\n More information about infertility and treatments can be found at on the NHS Wales website here<\/a>.

<\/span><\/p>\nWhat are fertility issues?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Treating infertility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\nWhat are we calling for?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Ideally, patients should have the cause of their fertility problems identified and treated as soon as possible because, for some of them, this would improve the chances of conception, either naturally or as a result of fertility treatment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
This includes enabling patients to say whether or not fertility is a priority for them, and have their choices respected and supported.<\/p>\n<\/li>\nOur champion: Emma Williams-Tully<\/span><\/h2>\n
What have we achieved?<\/h2>\n
We raise awareness through events, media, training and fundraising<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\n
We take part in consultations, advisory boards and co-production of healthcare<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\n
We engage directly with policy makers and researchers<\/strong><\/h5>\n
