Contraception

Copper-T (IUCD) insertion and removal, oral pills, injectable contraception, condom counselling and safe emergency contraception guidance within 72 hours.

Adolescent & puberty issues

Delayed or early puberty, painful first periods, irregular cycles in teenagers, acne and excess hair — handled sensitively with the parent present.

Frequently asked questions

When should a couple see an infertility specialist?

If pregnancy has not occurred after one year of regular unprotected intercourse. If the woman is above 35, or has irregular periods, previous surgery or pelvic infection, come after six months.

Does the husband also need testing?

Yes. Nearly 40% of infertility cases involve a male factor. A simple semen analysis is inexpensive and should be done in the first round of tests.

Can PCOS patients get pregnant naturally?

Most can. Losing 5–10% body weight, correcting insulin resistance and using ovulation-inducing medicines helps a large majority conceive without IVF.

Is Copper-T safe?

Copper-T is safe, reversible and effective for 5–10 years. Mild cramping or heavier periods can occur in the first few cycles and settles with follow-up.

Are fertility treatments expensive here?

Basic evaluation and ovulation induction are affordable. Advanced procedures are advised only when genuinely needed, and you will always be told the cost in advance.
