Treatment Methods for Female Infertility in Israel
Infertility affects approximately 50 million women worldwide. According to modern protocols, a woman of reproductive age who has not been able to conceive within a year of regular sexual activity is referred for examination.
Conception is a very complex physiological process that requires a number of conditions to be met. Violation of any of these can negatively affect conception. Generally, the main causes of infertility include ovulation disorders, pathologies of the fallopian tubes, uterus, or cervix, and complications following endometriosis. Ovulation disorders can occur due to polycystic ovary syndrome and hormonal imbalances, pituitary or ovarian anomalies, or excessively high levels of prolactin. Pathologies of the fallopian tubes usually arise from inflammatory diseases, tuberculosis, or as complications following surgical interventions. For example, surgery for endometriosis can lead to obstruction of the fallopian tubes, resulting in scar tissue or adhesions that hinder the normal passage of the egg. Uterine and cervical pathologies associated with infertility include polyps and tumors, congenital anomalies, cervical canal stenosis, etc.
Due to the wide variety of causes that can lead to infertility, its treatment includes a broad range of different methods, each aimed at addressing a specific pathology that hinders fertilization and the onset of pregnancy. Treatment methods for female infertility in Israel include medication therapy and surgical operations, with artificial insemination also being widely practiced.
Medication Therapy
The medications used to treat infertility regulate or stimulate ovulation. They act like the natural hormones produced by the female body — specifically, luteinizing hormone, which initiates the ovulation process, and follicle-stimulating hormone, which accelerates the development of follicles in the ovaries. These medications are taken orally. Some of them indirectly influence ovulation by stimulating the body to produce higher amounts of luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones. Some are hormonal medications that act directly on ovulation. Medications from the group of aromatase inhibitors and dopamine agonists (the latter group is used to treat infertility related to excessively high levels of prolactin in the blood) may also be used.
Surgical Methods
Depending on the cause of infertility, various surgical techniques may be employed. Endoscopic surgery allows for the elimination of anatomical anomalies that hinder the fertilization process. The surgery may aim to restore the normal shape of the uterus, remove polyps or fibrous tissues, etc. If there is obstruction of the fallopian tubes, a laparoscopic surgery for dilation or reconstruction may be performed.
Artificial Insemination
Reproductive specialists in Israel are among the best experts in the world in the field of artificial intrauterine insemination and IVF. During insemination, sperm is introduced into the uterus or cervical canal (the patient first undergoes a course of hormones to promote superovulation). In IVF, the egg is fertilized directly, which is retrieved from the follicle after superovulation. The specialists at the Top Ichilov center are skilled in both classical IVF techniques and the ICSI method — where sperm is injected directly into the oocyte membrane using a micro-needle.
One of the factors that demonstrates the effectiveness of female infertility treatment in Israel is the testimonials from women who have been able to conceive and give birth to healthy babies. On average, the success rate of artificial insemination is 30%, but in Israeli hospitals, it is much higher due to the use of effective techniques and new hormonal medications.

Diagnosis of Female Infertility in Israel
The diagnosis of female infertility in Israel is conducted promptly and takes from three to four days.
First Day — Consultation
The patient, accompanied by a clinic representative (a curator-translator), goes for a consultation with a leading specialist.
Second Day — Investigations
The next day, a comprehensive diagnostic program is planned.
- Blood test for hormone levels.
- Hysterosalpingography — X-ray examination of the uterus with contrast.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs.
- Genetic testing (used when congenital defects related to infertility are suspected).
- Laparoscopic examination if necessary and others.
Third Day — Medical Council
At the final stage, a medical council is convened. Specialists determine the cause of the pathology and then select a therapy method.
Treatment of Female Infertility in Israel — Cost
One of the factors that indicates how popular female infertility treatment is in Israel is the pricing. Here, clinics strive to make their rates as accessible as possible for the widest range of patients, so the cost of therapy is at least 30-45% lower than in hospitals in Italy, Denmark, France, and Austria.
