Looking for an Infertility Specialist in Chennai?

9 Quick Points to Know before visiting a fertility 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

Learn a bit about each treatment modality by clicking on the link.

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.

Point 6:- 

If you are looking for a fertility treatment in chennai, bear in mind that at large, most fertility treatments apart from a few medications, IUI and IVF are still largely experimental.

Ask your treating doctor the right questions before putting your hard earned money!.

A nice question you can ask your treating doctor about a particular therapy is

“How well proven is the treatment?”. 

“What is the success of the treatment in terms of take home baby rate?”

Point 7:-

Stay positive and optimistic always!. Be hopeful and do not ever give up trying. Children are worth it. Children are everything. Keep trying and keep moving forward.

Point 8:-

Remember, most fertility procedures are strictly day care. A large proportion of IVF clinics in chennai admit patients post the IVF procedure, however, data clearly states that the more you are active post a particular fertility procedure the better are the chances of a pregnancy.

Moreover, bed rest has been associated with lower pregnancy rates!.

If you are candidate looking for IVF specifically, remember never to get admitted post the procedure. You are better off being active and you are better of going home!

Point 9:-

The cost of fertility treatments in chennai are highly variable, ranging from as low as Rs 3000 for an IUI procedure to about 1,50,000 for an ICSI procedure.

Some fertility clinics will charge you on the medications separately, while other will include them in the procedural charges. Remember to plan your budget separately for such treatments.

Please also bear in mind that fertility treatments are NOT COVERED by your healthcare insurance provider.
