Reproductive Medicine

Reproductive medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, managing, and treating conditions related to infertility and reproductive health. It combines medical, surgical, and technological interventions to assist individuals and couples in conceiving and achieving successful pregnancies.

Common areas of reproductive medicine include:

• Infertility assessment and management
• Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) like IVF, ICSI, and IUI
• Ovulation induction and monitoring
• Fertility preservation (egg/sperm freezing)
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) management
• Endometriosis and reproductive surgery
• Recurrent pregnancy loss management

Reproductive medicine works by identifying the root cause of infertility and offering targeted treatments. The process typically includes:

1. Initial Consultation & Diagnosis
   Detailed history-taking, physical examinations, and advanced fertility tests (hormonal evaluation, ultrasound scans, semen analysis, genetic testing).
2. Treatment Planning
   Based on results, Dr. Jyoti Bandi creates a personalized treatment roadmap, which may involve medications, lifestyle modifications, or advanced fertility techniques.
3. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)
   • IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): Sperm is placed directly inside the uterus to improve chances of fertilization.
   • IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization): Eggs are fertilized outside the body in a lab and then implanted into the uterus.
   • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A single healthy sperm is injected into the egg to improve fertilization rates.
4. Surgical Interventions (if required)
   Treatment of blocked fallopian tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts.
5. Follow-up & Pregnancy Care
   Continuous monitoring to ensure safe conception and healthy pregnancy.

• Personalized Fertility Care: Tailor-made treatment plans for each couple.
• Advanced Technology: State-of-the-art lab facilities and modern equipment.
• High Success Rates: Evidence-based treatments with proven results.
• Compassionate Approach: Emotional support and counseling along with medical care.
• Holistic Wellness: Guidance on diet, lifestyle, and stress management to complement fertility treatments.

Reproductive medicine is suitable for:

• Couples who have been trying to conceive for over a year without success.
• Women with irregular periods, PCOS, or endometriosis.
• Men with low sperm count, motility issues, or abnormal morphology.
• Couples experiencing recurrent miscarriages.
• Individuals seeking fertility preservation before cancer treatment or delayed parenthood.
• Older couples facing age-related fertility decline.

While gynecology covers overall women’s reproductive health, reproductive medicine is specifically focused on fertility and conception-related challenges.

• Gynecology: Manages menstrual issues, infections, pregnancy, menopause, and general reproductive health.
