Dr Gayatri Satpathy

Fertility

Some couples may be unable to conceive despite regular unprotected sexual activity. This condition is called sub-fertility or infertility. The causes may be related to either the male partner or female partner or both. 20-30% of the couples may not have an apparent cause for their subfertility which is termed as “Unexplained Infertility”.

The causes in the female include hormonal disturbances and anovulation like in PCOS, endometriosis, tubal disease, uterine problems and problems related to sex. In the male, the causes include reduced or absent sperm count, motility, increase in abnormal forms of the sperm as well as problems relating to erection and ejaculation.

The condition needs a thorough evaluation of both partners to understand the cause.

Dr. Gayatri Satpathy specializes in the field of Reproductive Medicine and has a keen interest in the field of infertility.  She regularly treats couples with sexual health problems and infertility and has helped many couples to achieve parenthood.

Thorough evaluation with blood tests, semen analysis and other relevant tests will be done. The treatment generally starts with natural options like timing the sexual intercourse. Next simpler methods may be used such as OI (ovulation induction) and IUI (intrauterine insemination). Advanced methods such as IVF and ICSI are offered when simpler methods fail or if there are other indications for it. Fertility enhancing surgeries using laparoscopy or hysteroscopy are also offered which can enhance the fertility of a couple through simpler treatment options.
