Expert Diagnosis & Treatment by Dr. Jovana Lekovich
Tubal and uterine factor infertility are two common causes of difficulty conceiving, and both require the experience of a highly trained fertility specialist. Dr. Jovana Lekovich, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist based in New York City, provides comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans for patients facing these complex reproductive challenges.
With advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive treatments, Dr. Lekovich helps patients overcome barriers to conception and build the families they’ve envisioned.
What Is Tubal Factor Infertility?
Tubal factor infertility occurs when the fallopian tubes are blocked, damaged, or absent—preventing the egg and sperm from meeting or hindering the transport of a fertilized embryo to the uterus.
Common causes of tubal infertility include:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Endometriosis
Prior ectopic pregnancy
Tubal ligation (and reversal attempts)
Previous pelvic or abdominal surgery
Hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled fallopian tubes)
What Is Uterine Factor Infertility?
Uterine factor infertility refers to structural or functional issues with the uterus that prevent implantation or the ability to carry a pregnancy.
Common uterine abnormalities include:
Fibroids (especially submucosal)
Uterine polyps
Uterine septum or congenital malformations
Scar tissue (Asherman’s syndrome)
Thin or irregular endometrial lining
Chronic endometritis
How Dr. Lekovich Diagnoses Tubal & Uterine Factors
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective fertility treatment. Dr. Lekovich uses advanced, minimally invasive tools to pinpoint the root cause of infertility:
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): An X-ray to assess tubal patency and uterine shape
Saline sonohysterography (SIS): Ultrasound-guided evaluation of the uterine cavity
Pelvic ultrasound: To visualize fibroids, polyps, or other abnormalities
Hysteroscopy: Direct visual examination and treatment of the uterine cavity
Laparoscopy: To assess and treat tubal blockages, adhesions, or endometriosis
Treatment Options for Tubal & Uterine Factor Infertility
Dr. Lekovich creates a customized treatment plan based on your diagnosis, fertility goals, and overall reproductive health.
🔬 Tubal Factor Treatment:
Tubal surgery or repair (when possible)
Hydrosalpinx removal or clipping to improve IVF success
In vitro fertilization (IVF) to bypass blocked tubes
🏥 Uterine Factor Treatment:
Hysteroscopic surgery to remove fibroids, polyps, or uterine septum
Adhesiolysis to treat Asherman’s syndrome
Hormonal therapy to support endometrial lining development
