Infertility and Menstrual Irregularities

Infertility and menstrual irregularities are hormonal conditions that affect women’s reproductive health and often occur together. Irregular menstrual cycles, ovulation disorders, and hormonal imbalances can directly impact fertility. This is not merely a temporary irregularity, but often an important signal from the body’s hormonal system. At Ebru Ünal, MD’s clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, infertility and menstrual irregularities are evaluated through a comprehensive assessment of hormonal balance and metabolic health, rather than focusing on symptoms alone. The goal is to support the natural rhythm of the reproductive system.

Menstrual irregularities and infertility are frequently linked to imbalances between estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, and stress hormones. Within the Unal Vitality approach, hormones are evaluated not individually, but as part of an integrated hormonal system. Under Dr. Ebru Ünal’s clinical guidance, the objective is to support regular ovulation, restore the physiological rhythm of the menstrual cycle, and protect long-term reproductive health. This holistic approach allows treatment to remain personalized, safe, and sustainable, making it suitable for international patients visiting Istanbul for reproductive and hormonal care.
