Parenthood is a wonderful milestone for any couple. For some it is a blessing , for few it may be challenging. Due to our urban lifestyle, advanced maternal age, high demanding jobs, environmental factors or even personal habits can influence the fertility in both Men & Women.

Doctors can help you in your journey by guiding and offering treatment for medical disorders affecting fertility.

Parenthood needs adequate planning; a Pre- Pregnancy counselling session with your Gynecologist can provide you with basic understanding of the physiology and associated changes. It includes general assessment, and a few scans and blood tests to get an insight into your health.

For those suffering with fertility issues, Your Gynecologist can advise regarding Natural methods, Ovulation Induction, Follicular monitoring, IUI or IVF methods.
