His personalized approach and advanced diagnostic techniques ensure that each patient receives the best possible care tailored to their unique needs.

Why Undergo a Fertility Evaluation?

  1. Difficulty Conceiving:

    • If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for over a year without success, it’s time to consider a fertility evaluation.

  2. Medical History:

    • Previous medical conditions, surgeries, or treatments that might affect fertility, such as chemotherapy, radiation, or hormone therapy.

  3. Lifestyle Factors:

    • Exposure to harmful substances, unhealthy habits like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, and high stress levels.

  4. Sexual Health Concerns:

    • Issues such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory problems, or low libido can impact fertility.

  5. Family History:

    • Genetic conditions or a family history of fertility issues may warrant a thorough evaluation.

The Fertility Evaluation Process

  1. Initial Consultation:

    • Dr. Karunakar will conduct a detailed review of your medical history, lifestyle, and any previous attempts to conceive. This discussion helps to understand any underlying issues and set the stage for a comprehensive evaluation.

  2. Physical Examination:

    • A physical exam focuses on identifying any anatomical issues that could affect fertility, such as varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum).

  3. Semen Analysis:

    • A key component of the evaluation, semen analysis assesses sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape). This test provides vital information about sperm health.

  4. Hormonal Testing:

    • Blood tests measure hormone levels, including testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which play crucial roles in sperm production and overall reproductive health.

  5. Genetic Testing:

    • Genetic tests identify potential chromosomal abnormalities or genetic conditions that could impact fertility.

  6. Imaging Studies:

    • Ultrasound or other imaging techniques may be used to examine the reproductive organs and detect any structural abnormalities.

  7. Specialized Tests:

    • In some cases, advanced tests such as DNA fragmentation analysis or antisperm antibody testing might be necessary to gain a deeper understanding of sperm health.
