Dr. is skilled to perform Infertility Work up, Infertility Counseling and Infertility Management in couples having all types of Infertility (Male, female and Unexplained). Many of his patients have experienced the joy of parenthood after long periods of Infertility. After his treatment, many couples with infertility problems like PCOS (Polycyctic Ovaries), Fibroids, Endometriosis conceived naturally after drug treatment, ovulation induction, surgery (laparoscopy, hysteroscopy in some cases) and in some advanced cases conception was possible by IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) and IVF (In vitro Fertilization- "test tube baby"). Many of his patients with low sperm counts are enjoying parethood after successful drug treatment, IUI and IVF. He continued his care to these couples throughout the pregnancy till delivery and afterwards. To give few examples- one patient with severe endometriosis, who refused surgery, conceived naturally after 3 months of injection therapy. Another patients with very low sperm counts was found to have hormonal imbalance, which was managed by medicines and sperm counts improved a lot to permit IUI and they conceived after 1st cycle.

Dr. has the expertise to treat successfully men and women with sexual problems. After his counseling, support and treatment, many patients with problems like ED (Erectile Dysfunction), PE (Premature Ejaculation), Painful Intercourse (Dysparaenia), Vaginal Dryness, Low libido etc are enjoying their conjugal life. To site an example, there was a couple where male partner had ejaculation problems. They were concerned about fertility problems. Doctor advised them to feel relaxed and performed IUI. The couple conceived and later on the ejaculatory problems subsided on its own. In another patient with severe premature ejaculation, he performed IUI and the couple had successful pregnancy.

Dr has made many couples with repeated miscarriage smile after successful treatment by giving them baby at or near term. He performs few investigations judiciously and finds out the cause to treat the cause. Even if no cause is found, he treats them with supportive care and many of them continued pregnancy with support and treatments. A Case report was published by him showing his successful management of a case of woman who conceived Triplet pregnancy after prolonged period of Secondary Infertility following Repeated Miscarriage (previous 3 loss) due to congenital abnormality in the uterus (Bicornuate Uterus) and delivered the babies in preterm condition. Another women with 3 previous miscarriage without any apparent cause conceived spontaneously and had successful live birth at term.

Dr is competent in counseling, diagnosing and managing woman before conception (Preconceptional Care), during pregnancy (Antenatal Care), Delivery (Normal Delivery and Cesarean Section) and after delivery (Postnatal care). He is especially interested in managing Medical Disorders in Pregnancy (e.g., women with Diabetes, Thyroid disorders, Hypertension, Epilepsy, Renal disease, Bleeding disorders, Clotting disorders etc in pregnancy). He managed many of his patients with High Risk Pregnancy successfully. To exemplify, recently one patient aged 38 years, conceived after IVF with twin pregnancy developed uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure), and for this reason he performed Cesarean Section on her at 30 weeks of pregnancy (just after 7 months). Fortunately mother's condition improved after delivery and the babies are doing well. Thus all the three lives have been saved. Another mother with IVF pregnancy had no movement of the baby. A prompt CTG was advised, following which the baby's life was saved by emergency C-section at midnight.

Care before Pregnancy- The "Pre-conceptional Care"
Most of us have an idea that the couple should go to gynecologist only after they fall pregnant or when there is difficulty in conceiving. But we all know that "PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE". Then why should not we take precaution to avoid complications in pregnancy so that we can have healthy mother and healthy baby.

Some of the diseases can manifest during pregnancy, like some diseases of heart, blood pressure, blood sugar etc. But if the couple comes to doctor when they are planning pregnancy, then we can diagnose it and start treatment so that pregnancy can be safe to both the mother and the baby.

On the other hand, some pre-existing disease may turn serious during pregnancy and endanger life of both mother and baby. This includes thyroid disease, hypertension, epilepsy, renal disease, cardiac disease etc. If taken care of properly, the disease can be controlled before pregnancy so that the risk can be reduced. Again all the drugs are not safe for the baby. So, if treated before pregnancy, the mother can be put on safer but effective drugs before pregnancy.

Some diseases may run in family and often goes undetected and can affect the baby. Thlassaemia, hemophilia etc are the best examples. So, if the couple comes to us before pregnancy, we can screen them to diagnose whether they are bearer of the disease or not and then we can take care to prevent birth of defective baby.

Some diseases indicate that there may be problems in having pregnancy, like problems in periods or abdominal pain in female, sexual problems in male and female etc. If treated properly, it will avoid unnecessary time wastage for trying for pregnancy.

The woman can be instructed how to remain healthy to have normal baby, before pregnancy. She can be advised some drugs (like folic acid), can be asked to avoid harmful drugs and substances (like drugs, excessive vitamin A, excessive vitamin D, excessive caffeine, smoking etc). Even the husband can be asked how to improve his fertility (by avoiding heat exposure to his scrotum).

Again some infections can be dangerous for the baby. So, before pregnancy we can treat the women for the infections and in some cases we can vaccinate her to prevent infection.

"A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE". So, why don't you consult your gynecologist when you are planning for pregnancy? have smooth journey throughout pregnancy and enjoy parenthood.

Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ed) occurs when the man is unable to achieve or maintain his erection of penis to meet his or his partner's sexual satisfaction.
The problem is often faced by newly married men. Fortunately with experience, most of them are able to overcome this problem. Again it is increasingly common with increased age.

So, what are the causes. In some male, it is psychological, caused by anxiety, depression, stress, marital disharmony etc. Use of alcohol and smoking will aggravate the problem. Psychological causes can happen at any age but more common at younger age. But in some cases, it is associated with serious diseases, especially at old age. It has been seen that in apparently healthy male ed is the first sign of heart disease. So, if you have ed, make sure that i's not caused by your heart problem. Again diabetes is another important cause. Excessive weight gain will also cause hormonal imbalance and thus problems in erection. Some hormone may also cause ed like thyroid, prolactin and even testosterone (male sex hormone). If you have chronic diseases like liver or kidney disease, it may also lead to ed. Diseases of nerves and spines should also be kept in mind. Sometimes, infections or tumour in private parts (prostate, testis etc) will also add to ed. Other diseases of penis like abnormalities in blood vessels can also be responsible, especially in young guys. Apart from these, some surgeries in abdomen and some drugs (like drugs to lower blood pressure, antidepressants, hormonal drugs etc) will also cause ed.

Now, what you can do? if you want to suffer silently, you will land up in other problems like problem in sexual life, problem in family relationships, depression and even inability to make your partner pregnant. But do all men with ed have to go to doctor? initially, the men should try life style modifications like avoiding smoking and alcohol; avoiding stress and anxiety; making good understanding with partner and also reducing weight. The partner should also have sympathetic attitude to the husband who is having ed.

But if still the issue is not resolved you have to consult doctor. It's not a mater of hesitation or embarrassment, as you may think. Rather it is needed to ensure that you are healthy. So, your doctor will talk to you, will check you and try to find out if any cause is there or not (like heart disease, diabetes, hormones etc). He may order some basic tests to ensure that everything is alright. After that he will advise you the treatment. If the cause is found, treatment of the cause (like diabetes) may cure ed. Even if no cause is found, ed can be treated by various ways.

But should you try the drugs shown in television or newspaper? remember, drugs used in ed have important side effects and we advise drugs only when it is absolutely necessary. In most cases simple measures like stress reduction, exercise help. Sex counseling of both the partners helps a lot. And if still ed persists, we advise drugs. There are variety of drugs, all are having own advantages and disadvantages. Particularly sildenafil group of drugs can affect heart and retina. So, we always practice caution before prescribing such drugs. And when patients are advised such drugs we advise to inform us when he feels eye problems, chest pain, fainting or even painful persistent erection of penis (" priapism").

There are other drugs that can be applied directly over penis. Testosterone group of drugs are prescribed only in selective cases as they have serious side effects and even they can reduce the size of your testes. In some cases where drugs cannot be given or drugs fail, we advise penile implants or artiificial pump to maintain erection. Finally in very few cases, where blood vessels of penis is blocked, we can cure it by some operations.

So, if you feel ed, don't get depressed. At the same time don't feel embarrassed to take medical help. Today's embarrassment may harm you in future. So, get cured and enjoy your personal life.

World Tobacco Day
Today is World Tobacco day. You all know that tobacco causes cancer- cancers in almost all the organs of our body.
But what else? can it affect your sexual and reproductive life?
In female- it causes problems in menstruation, irregular periods and abnormal amount of bleeding. In addition, it causes difficulty in having baby- by interfering with normal hormone release.
Even if pregnancy occurs, the ending may not be happy one. It is responsible for repeated pregnancy loss (repeated miscarriages), ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus- that cannot survive, on the other hand it can endanger mother's life). It also causes abnormal bleeding in pregnancy by early separation of placenta (the flower) and thus endangering life of both mother and baby. It is also responsible for inadequate growth of baby inside the uterus. This can result in early delivery (premature baby), ow birth weight, permanent damage to baby's brain (mental retardation) and other organs, even death of the baby before or soon after birth. Tobacco also causes early rupture of membranes during pregnancy ("breaking of water") causing preterm delivery and infection.
As a result of hormonal deficiency caused by tobacco, there may be infertility and other hormonal problems like sexual dysfunction (dryness especially), discomfort in passing urine and bone pain (all due to hormone deficiency).
In older women it can cause prolapse (coming down of uterus outside).

In males- tobacco is responsible for low sperm count, low motility and abnormalities in sperms. The result is male infertility.
It can also cause hormonal problems in males leading to sexual dysfunction and bone loss.
It is responsible for erectile dysfunction and also premature ejaculation.

So, the decision is yours whether to choose tobacco or to choose life.
