Fertility In Female

Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after at least one year of trying (or 6 months if the woman is over age 35). If a woman keeps having miscarriages, it is also called infertility. Female infertility can result from age, physical problems, hormone problems, and lifestyle or environmental factors.
As age progresses, fertility decreases. Especially in women, fertility decreases at an alarming rate after 35yrs of age.

Causes of Male Infertility

Conceiving a healthy baby depends on a number of factors, including healthy sperm. In fact, male infertility is the second biggest issue after a woman’s age so it’s important to understand how the male reproductive system works. The most common causes of male infertility are called:

  • Hormonal Blood Tests- They are done at varying times of the menstrual cycle. They are- Serum FSH, LH, E2, AMH, TSH, Prolactin.
  • Oligospermia, where few sperm cells are produced.
  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG)- A procedure done to know the patency of the tubes. It can be done with or without anaesthesia.
  • Ultrasound (2D/3D)- done to evaluate the uterus, tubes and ovaries. Usually a transvaginal USG is done as it has a better resolution.
  • Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy- These are the minimally invasive procedures, done under anaesthesia, to evaluate the pelvic organs. We can obtain a live image of the organs and make a definite diagnosis.
