Frequently Asked Questions

Infertility is the inability to conceive a child, despite engaging in regular sexual intercourse for at least a year. The main symptom is not being able to get pregnant. Infertility has many causes, which your fertility specialist can help you discover.

Infertility is a fairly common problem and it affects one in 10 to 12 couples around the world. Around 45 million couples in the world face infertility issues. It’s treatable in most instances and nothing to feel anxious about.

It’s a common misunderstanding that only women suffer from infertility. In fact, one-third of infertility issues are contributed by the male partner. So yes, men also suffer from infertility.

In simple terms, getting pregnant requires three things to work – ovaries, fallopian tubes and the uterus. If you have an underlying problem affecting any of these three, the chances of infertility are high. Irregular/abnormal menstrual cycles and egg production, blocked or damaged tubes, abnormal hormone production, commonly PCOS and thyroid function, and abnormalities of the uterus are some factors contributing to infertility.

Male infertility can be attributed to several factors such as low sperm count and/or mobility, virility, absence of sperm in semen, impotence, etc.

Since each case is different, there’s no one size fits all. Some require only medications or basic treatment like Intra-Uterine Insemination [IUI] while others may need some form of surgery. If these are not successful or if the problem is severe, Assisted Reproductive Technologies like IVF-ICSI may be advised.

ART is a form of infertility treatment where reproduction happens outside the body. The woman’s eggs are taken out of the body and mixed with the male partner’s sperms in a petri dish under laboratory conditions. After fertilization happens, the resulting embryo is re-inserted back into the woman’s uterus after which a normal pregnancy continues to full term. This is also called IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

Freezing eggs and sperm to keep them viable for the future is called cryopreservation. Our cryopreservation facility facilitates the storage of eggs and sperm. You can rest assured that they are safe, sterile, and secure.
