Frequently Asked Questions on Fertility
Is elective egg freezing a good option for me?
Elective egg freezing is an increasingly popular option for women who want to protect their future fertility. Many women choose to freeze their eggs if they are not ready to conceive yet due to career goals, study, travel, personal circumstances, or waiting for the right partner.
Egg quality declines with age — especially after 35 — so freezing eggs earlier means preserving younger, healthier eggs for use later in life.
As a fertility specialist, Dr. Kokum offers personalised fertility assessment and guidance, including:
- AMH testing (egg reserve)
- Ultrasound and ovarian health evaluation
- Customised egg-freezing plans
- Evidence-based success rate counselling
- Long-term fertility planning
Elective egg freezing is not a guarantee, but it provides women with choice, confidence, and control over their reproductive future.
To find out whether this is the right option for you, Dr. Kokum will assess your individual situation and discuss the most appropriate timing and approach.
What conditions does a fertility specialist like Dr. Kokum Jayasinghe treat?
Dr. Kokum Jayasinghe is a Melbourne-based fertility specialist and gynaecologist who treats the full spectrum of reproductive and fertility concerns.
She commonly manages:
- Ovulation disorders
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Male infertility factors
- Unexplained infertility
- Tubal blockages
- Recurrent implantation failure
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Hormonal irregularities
- Age-related fertility decline
By identifying and treating the underlying causes, Dr. Kokum supports women and couples in achieving the best possible chance of conception.
What types of fertility surgery can help improve my chances of conceiving?
Many patients require minor or advanced fertility surgery to improve their chances of conceiving naturally or through treatments like IUI or IVF. As an experienced fertility surgeon, Dr. Kokum performs diagnostic and corrective procedures to optimise the uterus and reproductive system.
Common uterine conditions affecting fertility include:
- Intrauterine polyps
- Submucosal fibroids
- Uterine septum
- Adhesions (Asherman’s)
- Cervical abnormalities
These can cause difficulty conceiving, recurrent implantation failure, or miscarriage.
Dr. Kokum specialises in the investigation and surgical management of these conditions using minimally invasive techniques such as:
- Hysteroscopic polypectomy
- Hysteroscopic fibroid removal
- Septum resection
- Laparoscopic treatment of pelvic pathology
Restoring a healthy uterine environment can significantly improve fertility outcomes, and Dr. Kokum will guide you through the most appropriate pathway for your situation.
How does endometriosis affect fertility, and what assessment and treatment options does Dr Kokum offer to help manage it?
Endometriosis is a common condition that can significantly impact fertility due to inflammation, scarring, and disruption to the pelvic organs. Symptoms may include severe period pain ,pain with intercourse, or difficulty conceiving.
As a fertility specialist and gynaecological surgeon, Dr. Kokum provides comprehensive endometriosis assessment and management, including:
- Individualised fertility planning
- Ultrasound and diagnostic investigations
- Minimally invasive endometriosis excision surgery where appropriate
- IVF or egg freezing where appropriate
Her goal is to help you understand your condition clearly and guide you toward the most effective and evidence-based pathway to achieve a pregnancy—whether naturally or through assisted reproductive treatments.

- You are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 12 months

- You have had two or more miscarriages – or after any miscarriage if you are worried
