Pooja Bhatia, 32, is a software...
Pooja Bhatia, 32, is a software engineer who has been trying to conceive with her husband for over three years. After multiple failed IUI cycles, her husband's semen analysis revealed severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (low count, poor motility, abnormal morphology). The diagnosis left them feeling hopeless. Their andrologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended Autologous PRGF (Platelet-Rich Growth Factors) as a targeted therapy to improve the quality and function of her husband's sperm. The procedure involved a simple blood draw from her husband, processing it to concentrate the growth factors, and then injecting it into the testicular tissue under local anesthesia. The experience was straightforward with minimal discomfort. After a 90-day spermatogenesis cycle, a repeat semen analysis showed a remarkable 40% improvement in motility and a significant increase in normal morphology. Emotionally, Pooja and her husband moved from a place of despair and feeling 'broken' to one of cautious optimism. The procedure gave them a tangible sense of taking proactive, science-backed action, renewing their hope for starting a family.
