As part of International Fertility Month, Quirónsalud Málaga is placing a spotlight on fertility awareness and the importance of early, informed choices for women planning motherhood. With 40% of women not facing motherhood until after age 38, and one in six couples experiencing fertility issues, awareness and proactive care are more crucial than ever.
Dr Arantxa Pérez Garrido, gynaecologist and fertility specialist at Quirónsalud Málaga, advises women to consider fertility assessments early—especially those over 35. “Fertility naturally declines with age,” she explains. “We often recommend egg vitrification before age 35 for those wishing to delay motherhood.”
Vitrification is a method of freezing eggs or embryos for long-term preservation, offering women control over their reproductive futures. The first consultation includes a full evaluation—ovarian reserve, hormone testing, and ultrasound imaging—allowing specialists to offer personalised guidance, not necessarily involving assisted reproduction.
In response to the growing need for specialised care, Quirónsalud Málaga has launched its Women’s Integral Health Unit, a pioneering space offering end-to-end care for women at all life stages—from puberty to menopause. This one-stop hub eliminates the need for multiple referrals, bringing together leading experts in fertility, gynaecology, oncology, maternity care, menopause, and pelvic floor health.
Head of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Dr Rodrigo Orozco, explains: “This unit is built on a vision of streamlined, expert care for women, designed to treat everything from endometriosis to high-risk pregnancies, all under one roof.”
Highlights include:
A High-Resolution Gynaecological Ultrasound Unit, rivalling MRI in diagnostic accuracy
A multidisciplinary Endometriosis Unit
A Menopause Unit focused on post-reproductive wellbeing
A Birthing Suite encouraging low-intervention, respectful births
An Assisted Reproduction Unit with a state-of-the-art embryology lab
Now celebrating 15 years of clinical excellence, Quirónsalud Málaga has grown into one of Andalucia’s leading private hospitals, with over 1,100 staff and more than 20,000 surgeries annually. It remains a national reference in women’s health, research, and innovation.
Through specialist services and education, Quirónsalud empowers women to make confident choices about their bodies, health, and future.
