About Female Infertility

Female infertility, managed by an Internal Medicine specialist, involves a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to identify and treat underlying medical conditions affecting a woman's ability to conceive. This is not a single procedure but a series of evaluations including detailed medical history, physical examination, blood tests to assess hormone levels (like FSH, LH, AMH, thyroid), and imaging studies such as pelvic ultrasound. The internist focuses on correcting systemic issues like thyroid disorders, diabetes, hyperprolactinemia, or autoimmune conditions that can impair fertility. Treatment is personalized, often involving medication management, lifestyle optimization, and coordination with reproductive endocrinologists for advanced interventions, aiming to restore hormonal balance and improve overall reproductive health.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ishaan Gupta, 34, is a software...

Ishaan Gupta, 34, is a software engineer who has been trying to conceive with his wife for over three years. Despite a healthy lifestyle, they faced unexplained infertility. Initial tests showed no issues with his wife, leading his primary care physician to refer him to an Internal Medicine specialist for a male factor workup. The doctor recommended a comprehensive semen analysis and hormonal profile. The experience was emotionally taxing for Ishaan, who felt a deep sense of responsibility and inadequacy. The post-procedure results revealed a mild oligospermia (low sperm count). The outcome was a clear diagnosis, allowing them to pivot to targeted treatments like IUI. Emotionally, he moved from confusion and self-blame to a focused determination, feeling relieved to have an answer and a path forward.
