Infertility, the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse, may result from female issues like ovulation disorders or blocked tubes, or male factors like low sperm count. IVF, IUI, or assisted reproductive technologies are common solutions. Lifestyle choices, infections, or hormonal imbalances can also influence fertility.
Infertility in women may stem from hormonal imbalances, structural problems, or lifestyle factors. Diagnostic tools like USG, endocrine assessment, and infection markers help identify the cause and guide treatments like IVF, IUI, ovulation induction, or egg donor programs for better reproductive outcomes.
Unpredictable or absent periods can disrupt ovulation. This is often linked to hormonal issues or PCOS and can be diagnosed using an endocrine assessment and USG. It’s a common cause of infertility treated via ovulation induction or IUI.
As age increases, egg quality and quantity decline. Women above 35 may face reduced fertility and are often advised to undergo IVF or egg freezing to preserve reproductive potential.
Thyroid imbalances or insulin resistance can affect ovulation. Endocrine assessment helps identify such disorders, allowing timely treatments through hormone therapy or IVF.
Endometriosis causes uterine tissue to grow outside the uterus, affecting fertility. Diagnosed via diagnostic laparoscopy, it may require surgical treatment or IVF with techniques like laser-assisted hatching.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome disrupts ovulation due to hormonal imbalance. USG and endocrine tests confirm the diagnosis, and treatment may include ovulation induction, IUI, or IVF.
Uterine fibroids can interfere with implantation. Diagnosed via USG or hysteroscopy, treatment ranges from medication to surgery, followed by IVF or ICSI if needed.
Endometrial polyps can cause irregular bleeding and prevent embryo implantation. Diagnostic hysteroscopy helps detect and remove them, often improving IVF success.
Blocked fallopian tubes hinder fertilization. Diagnostic laparoscopy is used to confirm, and IVF becomes the primary treatment option.
Obesity, smoking, or stress can impact fertility. Lifestyle management combined with IVF or IUI increases the chances of conception.
Inherited conditions can affect egg quality or cause premature ovarian failure. Genetic testing may lead to solutions like egg donor programs or preimplantation genetic testing.
Male infertility often stems from poor sperm quality, lifestyle issues, or hormonal and genetic problems. Diagnostic tools like semen analysis, human sperm assay, and USG Scrotal Doppler help guide treatments such as IUI, IVF, or procedures like TESA, PESA, and sperm freezing.
Low count, motility, or abnormal shape of sperm can impair fertilisation. These issues are diagnosed through semen analysis and sperm function tests and often treated via ICSI or IMSI.
Smoking, alcohol, obesity, and heat exposure can reduce sperm quality. Counselling, lifestyle changes, and assisted reproduction methods like IUI or IVF may help.
Y-chromosome microdeletions or other mutations may affect sperm production. Genetic testing can guide couples toward IVF with donor sperm or preimplantation genetic testing.
Erectile issues can prevent intercourse, causing infertility. Treated medically or with assisted reproductive options like IUI, ICSI, or PESA.
Infections like STIs can damage sperm or block reproductive ducts. Infection markers and USG help diagnose the problem, and IVF or IUI may be used after treatment.
Hormonal imbalances reduce testosterone or sperm production. Diagnosed via endocrine assessment, treated with medication or IVF if fertility remains impaired.
Swollen veins in the scrotum can impact sperm production. Diagnosed through USG Scrotal Doppler and often treated surgically before considering IVF or ICSI.
When standard tests fail to identify a cause, it is termed unexplained infertility. It may result from subtle egg, sperm, or embryo issues. IVF with techniques like ICSI, PICSI, or preimplantation genetic testing is often recommended to improve conception chances.
Tests like USG, endocrine assessment, routine blood assessment, and infection markers are used to assess female fertility. Diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopy offer detailed evaluation of the uterus and tubes, guiding IVF, IUI, or endoscopic treatments as needed.
Ultrasound helps evaluate the ovaries, uterus, and follicles. It plays a key role in diagnosing PCOS, fibroids, and monitoring ovulation for IVF or IUI.
Hormonal testing assesses fertility hormones like FSH, LH, and TSH, vital in diagnosing PCOS, thyroid disorders, or ovarian reserve for IVF readiness.
General health markers, including CBC and glucose, help assess fitness for fertility treatments and detect underlying health issues.
Blood tests to detect infections like Rubella, Hepatitis, or HIV, which may affect fertility treatment planning or embryo safety.
A minimally invasive procedure to view the uterine cavity, detect fibroids or polyps, and treat them during the same sitting to improve IVF success.
Used to examine the uterus, ovaries, and tubes for conditions like endometriosis or adhesions, often followed by IVF or ICSI.
Male fertility testing includes semen analysis, human sperm assay, and hormone evaluations. Tests like USG Scrotal Doppler and sperm function tests help diagnose conditions treatable via IUI, IVF, TESA, or sperm donor programs.
Analyses sperm health in detail, including count, motility, and morphology. Essential before choosing IUI or IVF with ICSI.
Ultrasound of the scrotum to check for varicocele or testicular abnormalities, guiding fertility treatments like ICSI or surgery.
Evaluates male hormone levels to detect imbalances that may impact sperm production, influencing whether IVF or hormone therapy is needed.
Tests to identify infections affecting semen quality or male reproductive health. Treatment improves the success rates of IUI or IVF.
Basic health profile to ensure the male partner is fit for procedures like sperm retrieval or IVF.
Measures the ability of sperm to fertilise an egg. Helps in selecting IVF techniques like IMSI or PICSI for improved outcomes.
