Female infertility assessment and treatment in Bangalore

What can affect female fertility?

Difficulties with ovulation, the fallopian tubes or conditions affecting the uterus can contribute to infertility. Endometriosis can also affect fertility. Sometimes investigations do not identify a clear cause. Where relevant, assessing both partners helps avoid overlooking a sperm-related factor.

What happens at the first consultation?

Your clinician will ask about how long you have been trying, menstrual cycles, medicines and previous medical or surgical care. Bring earlier scan reports and test results if you have them. You can also write down questions you want answered before considering treatment.

Which tests might be discussed?

Depending on your history, investigations may include blood tests to assess ovulation, pelvic ultrasound or a test of whether the fallopian tubes are open. Your clinician should explain the reason for each test and whether its timing depends on your cycle.

Does everyone need IVF?

Treatment depends on the findings. Options can include medicines for an ovulation problem, surgery in selected circumstances or assisted conception. A consultation with Dr. Jyoti Bandi at DYU in HSR Layout is an opportunity to discuss which approach fits your situation.
