In this episode of the Primary Care Knowledge Boost (PCKB) podcast, doctors Lisa and Sara are joined by Dr Cheryl Fitzgerald who is a retired gynaecologist with an extensive background in subfertility.
Using a hypothetical case, they discuss the definition of subfertility, important components of a history with this presenting complaint, and comorbidities to be aware of.
They also talk about who should be referred to secondary care, what investigations are useful in primary care before a referral, and what patients can expect from that referral.
