Infertility Evaluation in Sangareddy
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if the woman is over 35). It is more common than many couples realise, affecting roughly one in six couples in India. At KBR Life Care Hospitals, Sangareddy, infertility is approached with sensitivity, thoroughness, and without judgment.
A complete infertility evaluation looks at both partners simultaneously. About 40 percent of infertility cases are due to a female factor, 40 percent to a male factor, and the remaining 20 percent involve combined or unexplained causes. Evaluating only one partner and assuming the other is fine wastes time and can delay the correct treatment.
Our team walks couples through each step of the evaluation, explains what each test measures, and ensures results are interpreted in the context of the full clinical picture. The goal is not just a diagnosis, but a practical, costed treatment plan with realistic expectations.
Types & Causes
Ovulatory Dysfunction
Irregular or absent ovulation, including PCOS, is the most common female infertility cause and is largely treatable
Tubal Factor
Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes from prior pelvic infection, endometriosis, or surgery prevent fertilisation
Male Factor
Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology accounts for a large proportion of infertility cases
Uterine and Structural Causes
Fibroids, polyps, or uterine shape abnormalities can interfere with implantation
Endometriosis
Endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus causes inflammation and structural damage that impairs fertility
Unexplained Infertility
All standard tests return normal results yet conception has not occurred; further investigation or empirical treatment may be needed
Symptoms to Watch For
Unable to conceive after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse
Irregular menstrual cycles or cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days
Absence of periods (amenorrhoea) or very light periods
Painful periods or pelvic pain suggesting endometriosis
Known history of pelvic inflammatory disease, sexually transmitted infection, or prior pelvic surgery
Previous miscarriage or recurrent pregnancy loss
Male partner with known semen or hormonal issues
When to See a Doctor
- After 12 months of trying to conceive without success (or 6 months if the woman is over 35)
- Any age if there is a known history of irregular cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, or prior pelvic infection
- Male partner with previously identified low sperm count or hormonal problem
- Two or more consecutive miscarriages
- Either partner has had cancer treatment (chemotherapy or radiotherapy) in the past
How We Diagnose
- Hormone blood tests: FSH, LH, AMH, prolactin, thyroid function, and Day 21 progesterone to confirm ovulation
- Pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve (antral follicle count), uterine structure, and identify fibroids or cysts
- Semen analysis for the male partner: sperm count, motility, morphology, and volume
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG) or saline infusion sonography to assess tubal patency and uterine cavity
- Additional tests (laparoscopy, karyotyping, immunological tests) when indicated by history or initial results
Our Treatment Approach
- Ovulation induction with oral tablets (letrozole or clomiphene) for anovulatory cycles
- Lifestyle optimisation: weight management, folic acid supplementation, quitting smoking and alcohol
- Medical or surgical treatment for underlying causes (PCOS management, endometriosis treatment, fibroid removal)
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) for mild male factor or unexplained infertility
- In vitro fertilisation (IVF) or ICSI when simpler treatments have not succeeded or are not appropriate
- Referral for donor sperm, donor eggs, or surrogacy where medically indicated
