“Fertility challenges can be complex and multifaceted, requiring a comprehensive approach for effective treatment. In India, where infertility rates are on the rise due to factors like lifestyle changes, delayed childbearing, and medical conditions, it is crucial to understand that each fertility case is unique. Complex fertility cases—such as those involving polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, male infertility, or unexplained infertility—demand personalized care and advanced medical interventions.
“Complex fertility cases require a personalized and holistic approach. In India, where fertility challenges can be multifaceted, it’s important to seek specialized care that considers not just medical factors but also emotional well-being. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or male infertility may require advanced treatments such as IVF, ICSI, or egg/sperm donation. A tailored treatment plan, guided by experienced fertility specialists, offers the best chance for success. It’s crucial to address both the physical and emotional aspects of the journey, ensuring that each individual or couple receives the support they need to build their family”” says Dr. Shivika Gupta, IVF Specialist, Birla Fertility & IVF, Gurgaon.
For women, PCOS and endometriosis are two leading causes of infertility. PCOS affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age, leading to hormonal imbalances that hinder ovulation. Similarly, endometriosis, which affects around 10% of women globally, can cause severe pain and interfere with the implantation of embryos. Both conditions often require treatments like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), or ovarian drilling to improve the chances of conception.
In male infertility, issues such as low sperm count or poor sperm motility may require ICSI, where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg. For more severe cases, egg or sperm donation may be recommended.A holistic approach to treatment not only addresses the physical aspects but also the emotional well-being of patients. The fertility journey can be emotionally taxing, and psychological support is essential to help individuals and couples cope with the stress and uncertainties of treatment.Given the advancements in fertility treatments, a personalized, well-rounded approach guided by experienced fertility specialists offers the best chance for success in treating complex fertility cases.In India, where the demand for fertility treatments is increasing, access to such specialized care is crucial in helping couples fulfill their dream of parenthood.”
