Infertility

Infertility is a challenging yet common medical condition affecting millions of couples worldwide. Defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse, infertility can stem from issues with either partner or a combination of factors. At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we specialize in diagnosing and treating infertility, offering personalized care and advanced medical solutions to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.

Understanding Infertility

Infertility can be classified into two main categories:

1. Primary Infertility: When a couple has never been able to conceive.
2. Secondary Infertility: When a couple struggles to conceive after previously having a child.

Both men and women can experience infertility, with contributing factors ranging from hormonal imbalances to lifestyle choices and underlying medical conditions.

Causes of Infertility

In Women

• Ovulation Disorders: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian failure can disrupt egg release.
• Uterine Abnormalities: Issues like fibroids, polyps, or congenital uterine abnormalities can affect implantation.
• Fallopian Tube Damage: Blocked or damaged tubes can prevent the egg and sperm from meeting.
• Endometriosis: A condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, impacting fertility.
• Age: Fertility declines significantly after age 35 due to reduced egg quantity and quality.

In Men

• Low Sperm Count: Insufficient sperm production can hinder fertilization.
• Poor Sperm Motility: Inability of sperm to swim effectively to the egg.
• Abnormal Sperm Morphology: Structural issues with sperm affecting their functionality.
• Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions affecting testosterone and other hormones critical for sperm production.
• Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol, stress, and obesity can reduce sperm quality.

Diagnosing Infertility

At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we conduct thorough evaluations to pinpoint the cause of infertility. Diagnostic tests may include:

• For Women:
  • Ovulation tests to track egg release.
  • Pelvic ultrasound to detect abnormalities.
  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check for blocked fallopian tubes.
  • Hormonal blood tests to evaluate ovarian reserve and endocrine function.
• For Men:
  • Semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology.
  • Hormone testing to identify imbalances.
  • Testicular biopsy in cases of azoospermia (absence of sperm).

Treatment Options for Infertility

Our experts design personalized treatment plans tailored to each couple’s specific needs. Common treatments include:

1. Medications
   • Hormonal therapy to regulate ovulation.
   • Fertility drugs like Clomiphene or Gonadotropins.
2. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
   • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Fertilizing an egg in the lab and transferring the embryo to the uterus.
   • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): Injecting a single sperm directly into the egg to facilitate fertilization.
   • Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Placing sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation.
3. Surgical Interventions
   • Laparoscopy to treat endometriosis or remove adhesions.
   • Hysteroscopy to remove uterine polyps or fibroids.
4. Lifestyle Modifications
   • Counseling on diet, exercise, and stress management to improve reproductive health.
