Infertility Evaluation & Counselling in Kolhapur

Led by Dr. Tanvi Hirekerur-Abhyankar and Dr. Bharati Abhyankar — a thorough, sensitive workup and honest counselling for couples who are finding it hard to conceive.

Difficulty in conceiving is more common than most couples realise, and it is rarely anyone's fault. In many cases a clear cause can be found — and often treated — with the right tests and some patience. Our infertility evaluation looks at both partners, explains the findings in plain words, and lays out the next steps at a pace that feels right for you.

What the Evaluation Includes

  • Hormonal Profiling — blood tests to check the hormones that control ovulation and fertility.
  • Ovulation Induction — medicines that help the ovaries release an egg regularly, with monitoring.
  • Uterine Evaluation — examination and ultrasound to check the womb for fibroids, polyps or other problems that can affect conception.
  • Partner Assessment — infertility involves both partners, so the male partner is evaluated too, including a semen analysis.
  • Referral IVF Support — if advanced treatment such as IVF is needed, we guide you and refer you to a trusted centre.

When Should You Seek Help?

Irregular cycles are often the first clue — our guides on periods that stop or become irregular and the menstrual cycle explain what is normal and what is not.

  • Trying to conceive for a year or more without success
  • Trying for six months or more if the woman is 35 or older
  • Irregular or absent periods, or very painful or heavy periods
  • Known conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids or thyroid problems

Our Approach at Purva Hospital

We begin by listening — to your history, your worries and your goals — and then plan only the tests that are really needed, using our in-house pathology laboratory and ultrasound. Many couples need simple treatment, such as correcting an ovulation problem or treating an underlying condition. We are honest about what is likely to help and when it is time to consider more advanced options, and we support you through that decision. Our billing team assists insured patients with cashless claims where cover applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should we start infertility tests?

Usually after a year of trying without success, or after six months if the woman is 35 or older. If periods are irregular, or you already know of a condition that can affect fertility, it is sensible to see a doctor sooner.

Does my husband also need to be tested?

Yes. In a good proportion of couples the male partner contributes to the difficulty, so a simple semen analysis is part of a complete evaluation. This is done sensitively and confidentially.

Will I need IVF?

Not necessarily. Many couples conceive after treating an ovulation problem, correcting a thyroid or hormonal issue, or timing intercourse properly. If IVF or other advanced treatment is advised, we explain why and refer you to a trusted centre.

Is infertility evaluation covered by insurance?

Fertility evaluation is often not covered by standard health policies, so please check your policy. Where cover applies, Purva Hospital offers cashless claims with providers including New India Assurance, National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and Aditya Birla — our billing team will guide you.
