[Typical causes of infertility: what diagnostic measures can the general practitioner take?].
At the latest after one year of their trying to achieve a pregnancy, a couple should seek medical advice. In many cases, the case history alone will provide important relevant information. Initial helpful measures include the utilization of the optimal time for conception, and an ultrasonographic follicle count. In addition to endocrinological tests in the woman, an androgenic work-up should be performed at an early stage and, where applicable, further diagnostic steps undertaken.
