Infertility Consultation in Bhandup West, Mumbai

Struggling to conceive can be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences a couple faces. You are not alone — infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples in India. At Dr. Swapna's Mothercare Maternity & Surgical Hospital in Bhandup West, Mumbai, Dr. Swapna S. Kumar offers compassionate, evidence-based infertility consultations to help you understand the cause and explore your options.

When Should You Consult an Infertility Specialist?

• You have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success (under 35 years)

• You have been trying for 6 months without success (above 35 years)

• You have a known condition such as PCOS, endometriosis, or irregular periods

• You have had recurrent miscarriages (2 or more)

• You or your partner has had previous fertility treatment

• You have never had a period or have very infrequent periods

Infertility Evaluation — What to Expect

Dr. Swapna conducts a thorough evaluation of both partners. For women, this includes hormonal blood tests (FSH, LH, AMH, prolactin, thyroid), pelvic ultrasound, and if necessary a hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check tubal patency. A semen analysis for the male partner is equally important and forms a standard part of the initial workup.

Fertility Treatments Available

• Ovulation induction with oral or injectable medications

• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

• PCOS-related fertility management

• Laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis or blocked tubes

• Referral for IVF/ICSI to trusted fertility centres when required

• Recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation and management

A Word of Reassurance

Infertility does not mean impossibility. With advancements in reproductive medicine, many couples who once thought they could never conceive have gone on to have healthy babies. Dr. Swapna's approach is always to start with the least invasive, most appropriate treatment — and to support you emotionally through every step of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is infertility always a female issue?

A: No. Infertility affects men and women equally. About 40% of infertility cases are due to male factors, 40% due to female factors, and 20% involve both partners or unexplained causes. A complete evaluation of both partners is always recommended.

Q: Does age affect female fertility?

A: Yes. A woman's fertility naturally declines with age, particularly after 35. Egg quality and ovarian reserve reduce over time. However, many women above 35 successfully conceive with appropriate medical support.

Q: What is the difference between IUI and IVF?

A: IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) involves placing sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation — it is less invasive and typically tried first. IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) involves fertilising an egg outside the body and transferring the embryo. IVF is recommended when IUI or other treatments have not been successful.
