Infertility

Infertility is a common yet deeply personal challenge that affects millions of couples worldwide. It is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse (or six months for women over 35). Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or have been trying to conceive for a while, Dr. Kanchi Khurana is here to provide expert care, support, and hope on your journey to parenthood.

What Causes Infertility?

Infertility can result from issues in either the male or female reproductive system, or a combination of both. Here are some common causes:

Female Factors

  • Ovulation Disorders: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian failure.
  • Fallopian Tube Blockage: Often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometriosis.
  • Uterine or Cervical Issues: Fibroids, polyps, or abnormalities in the uterus.
  • Age-Related Decline: Egg quality and quantity decrease with age, particularly after 35.

Male Factors

  • Low Sperm Count or Poor Motility: Affects the ability of sperm to reach and fertilize an egg.
  • Erectile Dysfunction or Ejaculation Issues: Can prevent successful conception.
  • Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum that can affect sperm production.

How is Infertility Diagnosed?

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

  • Ovulation Testing: Blood tests to check hormone levels.
  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG): An X-ray to examine the fallopian tubes and uterus.
  • Semen Analysis: To evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology.
  • Ultrasound and Laparoscopy: Imaging techniques to detect structural issues.

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