If you’ve been trying to get pregnant for over a year without success, or six months if you’re over 35, you may be dealing with infertility. As a gynecologist in Delhi who has helped many couples to start their fertility journey. Infertility affects approximately one in six couples, yet it often remains a topic shrouded in silence and stigma.

My approach is to provide compassionate, comprehensive care that addresses both the medical aspects of infertility and the emotional challenges that come with it. Together, we’ll develop a personalised treatment plan that gives you the best chance of achieving your dream of parenthood.
Common Causes of Infertility
Female fertility issues account for about one-third of infertility cases, and often involve problems with ovulation, the fallopian tubes, or the uterus. Ovulation disorders are among the most common causes, where the ovaries don’t release eggs regularly or at all. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances can all disrupt normal ovulation patterns. The good news is that ovulation problems are often among the most treatable causes of infertility.
Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes can prevent sperm from reaching the egg or stop a fertilized egg from traveling to the uterus. This can result from pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, previous surgeries, or sexually transmitted infections. Uterine or cervical problems, including fibroids, polyps, or structural abnormalities, can also interfere with implantation or increase the risk of miscarriage.
Age is another significant factor that affects female fertility. As women age, both the quantity and quality of eggs decline, making conception more difficult. While we can’t change age, understanding how it affects fertility helps us develop appropriate treatment strategies and set realistic expectations about treatment outcomes.
Male factor infertility contributes to about one-third of cases and can involve problems with sperm production and functions. Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm shape, or blockages that prevent sperm delivery can all impact fertility. Sometimes, couples face unexplained infertility, where standard testing doesn’t reveal a clear cause, but this doesn’t mean treatment won’t be successful.
Treatment Options for Different Types of Infertility
Treatment for infertility varies significantly depending on the underlying cause, your age, how long you’ve been trying to conceive, and your personal preferences. For women with ovulation disorders, fertility medications are often the first line of treatment. These treatments are often successful and relatively simple to use.
If medication alone isn’t sufficient, we might recommend intrauterine insemination (IUI), where specially prepared sperm are placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This treatment can be particularly effective for couples dealing with mild male factor infertility, cervical mucus problems, or unexplained infertility.
For more complex fertility issues, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be recommended. IVF involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving those eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in the laboratory, and then transferring one or more embryos back to the uterus.
Modern fertility treatment includes several advanced techniques that can significantly improve success rates for couples facing complex infertility challenges. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is often used alongside IVF when there are severe male fertility issues. With ICSI, a single healthy sperm is directly injected into each egg, bypassing many of the barriers that might prevent natural fertilization.
