Role of a Nurse Practitioner
Nurse Practitioners can play an important role in promoting fertility by providing education, identifying and treating underlying health conditions, and referring individuals for advanced treatments when needed. They can assess underlying health conditions that can impact fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and diabetes.
Nurse Practitioners to Optimize Fertility
Nurse Practitioners can also provide treatment or refer individuals to specialists as needed. Nurse practitioners can recommend preconception care to individuals planning to conceive. This may involve recommending prenatal vitamins, educating individuals on fertility by explaining the reproductive cycle, identifying fertile days, and providing information on lifestyle factors that can optimize fertility.
