Infertility Specialist in Chennai?

Hi there!

My name is Dr Shah Dupesh, and I am full time practicing infertility specialist in chennai. 

My specific sub-specialty of medical practice is in the field of male reproductive health. This make me a practicing andrologist more specifically.

Here are 12 cardinal points to bear in mind if you are planning to visit a fertility clinic or an infertility specialist in chennai.

Point 1:- 

Keep realistic expectations from treatments. Never expect miracle cures from fertility clinics in chennai or the practicing infertility specialists in chennai.

This also includes me. The most expensive fertility procedure called IVF has a realistic success rate of not more than 35% flat.

Point 2:-

Today problems with male fertility are equally important if not more, when compared to women.

While most fertility clinics in chennai will primarily focus on evaluating the female partner, sometimes its better you take a basic semen analysis before visiting your fertility doctor.

In over 40% of couples, the actual problem lies with the male partner.

Point 3:-

Steer clear of fertility clinics that charge packages!, Fertility therapies is not about buying babies from packages.

Good clinics run by ethical well trained fertility doctors in chennai will never ever write down a battery of unwanted testing or sell you packages.

Testing and treatments is best kept to a minimal. Only a few blood tests are recommended for an infertility evaluation for both men and women. Some of them are as follows

Common tests done for women 

1. Blood sugars
2. Thyroid
3. Day 2 Scan to count the number of eggs
4. Tubal evaluation
5. Basic infectious disease testing

Common tests done for men include

1. Semen analysis
2. Infectious disease testing
3. Male sex hormones if required
4. Imaging to rule our obstruction in the tract (only for certain patients)

Point 4:-

There are commonly three lines of fertility treatments  administered by most fertility specialists in chennai, these include

1. Medications and trying naturally
2. IUI
3. IVF

Most treatments start with the least invasive options and gradually progress through higher levels of treatment.

If your infertility doctor is suggesting you go to IVF without a proper indications, consider getting a second opinion! You can get a unbiased second opinion with our clinic below

Point 5:-

While you would find most infertility specialists in chennai well trained in their domain of expertise, you must ensure you do not get caught up in quack clinics peddling unproven medical therapies!. Do adequate research before scheduling your consult.
