Vivaan Chopra is a 28-year-old software...
Vivaan Chopra is a 28-year-old software engineer who recently got married. He and his wife have been trying to conceive for over a year without success. Vivaan began experiencing a persistent, uncomfortable penile discharge and mild pain during urination. Initially embarrassed, he dismissed it as a minor infection, but when his wife also developed pelvic pain and irregular bleeding, they both decided to seek medical help. Their gynaecologist, after examining both partners, diagnosed Vivaan with cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix, which can be caused by infections that affect male partners as well, requiring couple-based treatment). The doctor explained that an untreated infection like this could be contributing to their fertility challenges. Vivaan was prescribed a course of oral antibiotics. He felt a deep sense of guilt and anxiety, worrying he had inadvertently harmed their chances of having a family. The treatment was straightforward, but the emotional weight was heavy. After completing the antibiotics, a follow-up test confirmed the infection was cleared. The relief was profound. While not an instant solution to fertility, addressing this barrier lifted a cloud of worry and allowed them to move forward with hope and a clearer path in their conception journey.
