Areas of clinical expertise:
- Accurate diagnosis of infertility causes: With 15 years of experience, Dr. Thuy Duong places strong emphasis on identifying the exact factors affecting fertility, from infertility, IVF failure and unsuccessful embryo transfer to implantation failure.
- Application of HyFoSy tubal patency assessment: As one of the physicians in Vietnam, together with Dr. Ivan Reich, to implement hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy), and with 15 years of experience in assisted reproduction, Dr. Thuy Duong helps patients assess tubal patency through a less invasive, more patient-friendly and more cost-effective approach compared with many traditional methods.
- Advanced pelvic ultrasound: Dr. Thuy Duong has 15 years of notable experience in evaluating pelvic lesions, inflammation, adhesions and subtle changes that may silently interfere with natural conception, even in cases where basic test results appear nearly normal.
- Hormonal treatment aimed at natural conception: In many cases, Dr. Thuy Duong prioritizes hormonal regulation, restoration of reproductive function and optimization of the chance of natural pregnancy. Over more than 15 years accompanying infertile couples, she has supported more than 4,500 families in achieving successful natural conception.
- Management of complex infertility cases: Dr. Thuy Duong has expertise in treating infertility related to endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), male-factor infertility, reproductive immunology and multiple other complex combined causes. She has supported more than 8,200 infertile families in successfully welcoming babies through IVF.
- Reproductive surgery to optimize treatment outcomes: In cases requiring surgical intervention, Dr. Thuy Duong focuses on thoroughly addressing abnormalities that affect fertility before IVF, with the aim of improving success rates and minimizing repeated failures.
- Application of Couple Medicine in infertility treatment: Dr. Thuy Duong is one of the physicians actively promoting the Couple Medicine model, which evaluates and treats both partners simultaneously instead of focusing on only one side. This comprehensive approach helps accurately identify factors affecting fertility in both partners, optimize treatment effectiveness and improve the chance of successful pregnancy.
- Personalized Mini IVF with optimized costs: With 15 years of experience in IVF and assisted reproduction, Dr. Thuy Duong is one of the physicians actively applying Mini IVF in Vietnam. She has performed more than 3,630 successful Mini IVF cases, developing minimal-stimulation protocols tailored to each patient, especially for families seeking to reduce financial burden while still aiming for high treatment effectiveness.
- Pregnancy maintenance and high-risk pregnancy care: Beyond helping patients achieve pregnancy, Dr. Thuy Duong pays particular attention to the journey of maintaining a safe pregnancy. She has more than 15 years of experience managing recurrent miscarriage, biochemical pregnancy, threatened miscarriage and complex pregnancy-related issues, with the goal of improving the chance of welcoming a healthy baby.
- IVM - in vitro maturation of immature oocytes: Dr. Thuy Duong directly implements and applies in vitro maturation (IVM) in infertility treatment, especially for patients with PCOS or those at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This method involves retrieving immature oocytes and maturing them in the laboratory, thereby limiting hormonal intervention, reducing risk and optimizing patient safety.
- Advanced development of fertility preservation: Dr. Thuy Duong is oriented toward developing fertility preservation solutions for women, especially in cases of diminished ovarian reserve, gynecologic disease or the need to delay childbirth. Treatment strategies are designed to optimize the “fertility window” and preserve future motherhood opportunities.
- Academic updates and professional speaking engagements: Dr. Thuy Duong is a frequent guest at domestic and international scientific conferences and seminars on assisted reproduction, and also serves as a speaker sharing professional expertise in numerous specialized programs. Her continuous academic updating and professional exchange help translate new advances into clinical practice effectively and safely.
