Female Infertility

Female infertility is a common issue that affects many women trying to conceive. It is defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse due to female factors. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a highly skilled fertility specialist, specializes in diagnosing and treating female infertility, offering personalized care to help women achieve their dream of motherhood.

Female infertility refers to a woman’s inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term due to issues with ovulation, the reproductive organs, or other factors. It accounts for approximately 40-50% of infertility cases among couples. Common causes include ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities, or age-related decline in fertility.

Female infertility can result from a variety of factors, including:

Ovulation Disorders

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal disorder that prevents regular ovulation.
• Premature Ovarian Failure: Early loss of ovarian function before age 40.
• Hypothalamic Dysfunction: Disruption of hormone production by the hypothalamus.

Structural Issues

• Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometriosis.
• Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities: Fibroids, polyps, or congenital malformations.
• Endometriosis: A condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility.

Other Factors

• Age: Fertility declines significantly after age 35.
• Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol, obesity, or excessive stress.
• Medical Conditions: Thyroid disorders, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases.
• Genetic Disorders: Conditions like Turner syndrome or fragile X syndrome.

Dr. Kanchi Khurana uses advanced diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of female infertility, including:

• Ovulation Testing: Blood tests to check hormone levels.
• Hysterosalpingography (HSG): An X-ray to examine the fallopian tubes and uterus.
• Ultrasound: Imaging to assess the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes.
• Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose conditions like endometriosis.
• Ovarian Reserve Testing: Evaluates the quantity and quality of eggs.

Dr Kanchi Khurana offers a range of personalized treatment options tailored to each patient’s unique needs:

Medications

• Ovulation Induction: Drugs like Clomiphene or Letrozole to stimulate ovulation.
• Hormonal Therapy: To address imbalances affecting fertility.

Surgical Procedures

• Laparoscopy: To treat endometriosis, fibroids, or blocked fallopian tubes.
• Hysteroscopy: To remove polyps or correct uterine abnormalities.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Placing sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation.
• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Combining eggs and sperm in a lab and transferring the embryo to the uterus.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): Injecting a single sperm directly into an egg for fertilization.

Lifestyle Changes

• Exercise: Regular physical activity to maintain a healthy weight.
