Common Causes of Infertility
Infertility can be due to female factors, male factors, both, or remain unexplained after testing. Common causes include:
- Ovulation problems – PCOD/PCOS, thyroid disorders, high prolactin
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes – after infection, surgery or endometriosis
- Uterine factors – fibroids, polyps, adhesions or septum
- Endometriosis
- Male factor – low sperm count or motility
- Age-related decline in egg quality and number
Tests We Offer
- Detailed history and examination of both partners
- Hormone blood tests (thyroid, prolactin, AMH and others as needed)
- Transvaginal ultrasound and follicle monitoring
- Tubal patency testing (HSG / sono-salpingography)
- Semen analysis for the male partner
- Diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy when required
Infertility Treatment Options
Lifestyle and medical management
Weight optimisation, treatment of thyroid or prolactin problems and PCOD treatment often restore regular ovulation.
Ovulation induction with follicle monitoring
Tablets or injections are used to help an egg mature and release, with ultrasound monitoring to time intercourse and reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy.
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
Washed, prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around ovulation. It is a simple OPD procedure that suits mild male factor, unexplained infertility and some ovulation problems.
Hysterolaparoscopy (keyhole surgery)
Dr. Shalini Sankhwar is an experienced laparoscopic surgeon. Hysterolaparoscopy can diagnose and treat blocked tubes, endometriosis, fibroids, polyps and adhesions in the same sitting, with a small scar and quick recovery.
Referral for IVF when needed
If IVF/ICSI is the best option for you, we explain why and guide you on the next steps, while continuing your pregnancy care once you conceive.
After You Conceive
Once pregnant, you can continue your care with the same doctor – including high-risk pregnancy care, normal delivery or cesarean section at Sankhwar Hospital.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step in infertility treatment?
The first visit includes a detailed history of both partners, examination, ultrasound and basic blood tests, plus a semen analysis for the husband. Treatment is then planned based on the results.
Is PCOD a cause of infertility?
PCOD/PCOS is one of the most common causes of irregular ovulation. Most women with PCOD can conceive with lifestyle changes and ovulation-induction treatment under a gynaecologist’s supervision.
Do both partners need to be tested?
Yes. Male factors contribute to a significant share of infertility, so testing both partners together saves time and avoids unnecessary treatment.
