  Introduction There’s a widely circulated myth in society that if a baby is conceived through In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) , the mother must deliver via C-section (Cesarean section) . This misconception often leads to unnecessary fear, anxiety, and surgical interventions. As a fertility expert and obstetrician, I want to make one thing abundantly clear: IVF conception does not mandate a C-section delivery. In fact, the method of conception — whether natural or assisted — has no bearing on the decision of how a baby should be delivered. That decision must be based on medical factors , not myths. IVF Does Not Equal Cesarean: Here’s Why Whether you conceive naturally or with the help of IVF, your ability to have a normal vaginal delivery depends on several clinical and physiological conditions , such as: The position and size of your baby The health and readiness of your uterus and cervix The adequacy of your pelvis Your overall health and pregnancy progression The absence or ...

  Infertility treatment has gained a big momentum in India as per statistical data from various sources, as infertility affects almost 10-15% of married couples. To combat this issue, rising awareness and advancement in medical technology have made In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) a hope for millions of couples.

The embryo thus formed is transferred into the woman’s uterus for implantation and pregnancy. This technique is usually applied in couples with infertility who cannot conceive with conventional medical and surgical treatment methods. The...

  For General Awareness: "Amenorrhea is when a woman or girl doesn’t get her period. It can happen because of natural reasons like pregnancy or menopause, but sometimes it’s due to hormonal imbalances, stress, excessive exercise, or severe weight changes.  It’s important to find out the cause, as it can affect overall health." For Medical or Scientific Discussions: "If you were regularly menstruating and have missed your period for 3 months or more we call it secondary amenorrhea and if a girl has never started menstruating by age 15 it is a condition called primary amenorrhea. It’s not always serious, but it’s good to check with a doctor to make sure everything is okay. Causes range from physiological factors like pregnancy to medical conditions such as PCOS or thyroid dysfunction. Evaluation includes hormone tests, imaging, and sometimes genetic screening."   Evaluation of Amenorrhea Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation and can be classified into prima...
