Irregular periods, PCOD, thyroid problems, blocked tubes or repeated miscarriages can all make conceiving harder. Dr. Arindam Rath finds the cause first, then offers fertility treatment in Kolkata that is as gentle as possible and as advanced as necessary.
Conception depends on many things working together: an egg being released each month, open fallopian tubes, a healthy uterine lining and the right hormonal balance. A problem at any one of these points can delay pregnancy, and often there is more than one factor involved.
Dr. Rath's approach to fertility treatment in Kolkata is to investigate carefully, explain what the reports mean, and recommend the least invasive treatment that gives you a realistic chance. Many women conceive with simple measures such as ovulation induction or IUI, and do not need IVF at all.
Most of the workup can be completed within one menstrual cycle, so you are not left waiting for answers.
Cycle history, previous pregnancies, surgeries, medicines and any earlier reports.
AMH, FSH, LH, thyroid, prolactin and blood sugar on the right cycle day.
Checks uterus, ovaries and antral follicle count.
Sonosalpingography to see whether the tubes are open.
A personalised plan, with both partners' results reviewed side by side.
Correcting thyroid, prolactin or blood sugar levels and managing PCOD through weight, diet and targeted medicines can restore regular ovulation on its own. Dr. Rath pays attention to the whole picture, because hormonal balance, nutrition and stress management all influence fertility.
For women who do not ovulate regularly, mild medicines help one or two eggs mature. Serial transvaginal scans track follicle growth so that intercourse or IUI can be timed to the most fertile days, while keeping the risk of multiple pregnancy low.
IUI places washed sperm directly into the uterus around ovulation. It is often recommended for unexplained infertility, mild endometriosis, cervical factor and PCOD that has not responded to ovulation induction alone.
Polyps, fibroids, scar tissue or a uterine septum can prevent an embryo from implanting. Hysteroscopy lets Dr. Rath see inside the uterus with a fine telescope and treat many of these problems in the same sitting.
IVF is advised for blocked tubes, severe endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, or when simpler treatments have not succeeded. See our IVF treatment and cost in Kolkata page for the full process.
Every case is reviewed by Dr. Rath personally, from the first consultation to the final scan, so you are never passed from one unfamiliar face to the next.

Treatment plans reflect current fertility science, with nothing recommended that your situation does not actually need.
See a specialist if you have been trying for 12 months without success, or after 6 months if you are 35 or older. Come sooner if you have irregular or absent periods, PCOD, known endometriosis, past pelvic surgery or more than one miscarriage.
Yes, in many women. Weight management, medicines to regulate cycles and ovulation induction with folliculometry monitoring help a large number of women with PCOD conceive. IVF is considered only if these steps do not work or other factors are present.
Usually hormone blood tests (including AMH, thyroid and prolactin), a transvaginal scan to check the uterus and ovaries, and a tubal test such as sonosalpingography. Hysteroscopy is advised only if a problem inside the uterus is suspected.
Yes. Egg numbers and quality fall gradually with age, more noticeably after 35. An AMH test and antral follicle count give a useful picture of your ovarian reserve and help Dr. Rath decide how quickly to move to treatment.
Most of it is not. Scans and IUI cause mild discomfort at most. Procedures such as ovum pickup and hysteroscopy are done under light sedation or anaesthesia, and Dr. Rath explains each step beforehand.
Bring your reports, and leave knowing exactly what they mean.
