Infertility Treatment in Greenville, SC

Infertility Treatment at IHP Greenville — authentic TCM, in-house herbal pharmacy. Dr. Hendry, DAOM, 25+ yrs experience. Call (864) 365-6156.

Infertility — defined as failure to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse (or 6 months for women over 35) — affects approximately 10% of couples in the United States. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry approaches infertility as a treatable condition with identifiable and addressable root causes, rather than an intractable diagnosis requiring only high-tech intervention. His integrative fertility protocol consistently identifies treatable factors — in both partners — that conventional fertility workups frequently miss.

How Infertility Treatment Works

Infertility evaluation at IHP covers both partners. For women: Chinese medical diagnosis, full reproductive hormone panel, thyroid evaluation, inflammatory markers, nutritional status, gut health. For men: Chinese medical diagnosis, semen analysis review, hormone testing (testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin), oxidative stress evaluation, and nutritional assessment. Treatment protocols are individualized based on findings.

Conditions Treated with Infertility Treatment

Your First Appointment

Both partners should ideally attend the initial consultation or at least provide complete health information. Bring all prior fertility testing for both partners. Infertility history — duration, prior treatments, prior pregnancies — is central to treatment planning.

Why Dr. Hendry for Infertility Treatment

Dr. Hendry's functional medicine investigation finds treatable factors in many cases labeled 'unexplained infertility' by conventional medicine — subclinical hypothyroidism, antisperm antibodies, oxidative stress in sperm, low progesterone, and silent gut dysbiosis all affect fertility and are identifiable with the appropriate testing.
