Ovarian hyperstimulation is a serious complication of IVF treatment. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be life threatening in severity as it can cause complications like
Male infertility is as common as female infertility and depends largely on sperm health. Healthy sperm is defined by adequate sperm count, good movement (motility), and normal structure (morphology) as per WHO standards. Understanding these factors and the causes of male infertility can help couples take the right steps to improve sperm health, especially in cases of low sperm count.
Low AMH means a reduced egg reserve, often making it harder to conceive, especially with age. It is commonly linked to aging, certain medical conditions, ovarian surgery, and lifestyle factors like smoking. While AMH itself cannot be increased, fertility chances may improve with patient specific treatments such as IVF and supportive lifestyle changes.
The uterus is a pear-shaped muscular organ whose inner lining (endometrium) grows each cycle under estrogen and progesterone to receive an embryo and sheds as menstruation if pregnancy does not occur.
Successful IVF depends mainly on patient age, embryo quality, and endometrial receptivity, with an ideal endometrial thickness of about 8–12 mm and a clear triple-line pattern on ultrasound.
Thin endometrium can be caused by infection (endometritis), low estrogen, poor blood flow, prior uterine surgeries, adhesions, or conditions like adenomyosis.
Endometrial receptivity is primarily evaluated with ultrasound, assessing thickness, pattern, volume, and blood flow.
Treatment options include lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, blood-flow–enhancing medicines, intrauterine growth factors, acupressure/acupuncture, and newer approaches like PRP or stem cell therapies, individualized to each patient.

Male infertility accounts for ~40% of cases, stemming from poor sperm production (undescended testes, genetics, infections, varicocele) or ejaculation issues (premature/reverse, blockages). Lifestyle factors like heat exposure, toxins, smoking, alcohol, drugs, and meds worsen it. Improve via exercise, nutrient-rich diet, avoiding stimulants/overheating, STD prevention, and sleep; evaluate both partners.
