INCREASED Number of POLYCYSTIC OVARY CASES
Polycystic ovaries are a condition where
ovaries contain excess primordial follicles. Despite the name Polycystic it
does not contain any cyst and contains only follicles. The follicles are
naturally present in the ovaries and they are small fluid filled sacs
containing ovum or eggs. Normally during reproductive years each ovary contain
5-12 follicles but when there are 12-15 follicles in an ovary the ovary is
called Polycystic.
When the presence of follicles is severe
say more than 50 follicles then the condition is called as Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome (PCOS) which is different from Polycystic Ovaries and causes
infertility, increased facial hair and disturbed hormonal balance.

Intrauterine Insemination vs. In Vitro Fertilization
Couples are
always confused about choosing between IUI and IVF. The success of either
procedure depends on a lot of factors and there is a marked price difference
between the two procedures. It is advisable to take your doctors opinion based on the diagnosis of
your fertility problem to choose the right procedure.
Even though
there are lots of factors that can affect the success rate, age is an important
aspect that can have a significant impact on the result.
The IUI Advantage
Intra Uterine
Insemination ( IUI )is a helpful procedure that will enable a couple to
conceive. Usually the sperm has to travel a long distance to reach an egg and
fertilize it. With IUI, the sperm from
the male partner is collected, washed and then the good motile sperms are carefully injected directly via a catheter
into the uterus. This means the sperm has to travel a lesser distance, thus
increasing the chances of conception.

ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis is a condition when a tissue which usually grows
inside the uterus, is found growing outside the uterus in abnormal places. for
eg., ovaries etc.
Whenever the patient has menstrual cycles,
this tissue also bleeds. This bleeding heals but form adhesions. So finally
endometriosis results in restricted mobility of both sides of the fallopiantubes
and there may be severe adhesions between ovaries, tubes, uterus and even intestines.
How can it present clinically?
During menstrual cycles, patients suffering
from endometriosis may have severe pain. They may have pain during intercourse and may also present with
infertility (or) chronic lower abdominal pain.
How to manage an unmarried girl with endometriosis?
As said earlier, whenever the girl menstruates,
she bleeds in ectopic endometrial tissues.
So our medical management aims
at reducing the number of cycles and to control the progress of the disease
till she gets marrie.
Can all endometriosis be diagnosed using ultrasound?
No all endometriosis patients cannot be diagnosed
by ultrasound unless it is an ovarian endometriosis .Many a time; we diagnose
endometriosis intra operatively, when a patient undergoes laparoscopy for
treatment of infertility.
What is the advice given to previously diagnosed endometriosis patients who got newly married?
We advice them to plan for family early and
not to postpone conception as the disease progresses during every cycle.
What are the modalities of treatment available for management of endometriosis?
Both surgical and medical management.
Regarding medical management, we have GnRH
analogue injections which we can use limitedly and tablets to be taken for a
few months.
A female who has completed her family and having endometriosis, needs to be treated (or) not?
Even though the female has completed her
family she needs to be treated if symptomatic like pain (or) any other symptoms
due to adhesions.
What are the modalities of treatment for a female who has finished family and is having endometriosis?
Surgical---3D
Laparoscopy-Removal of cyst alone
Removal of uterus and ovaries if both are
damaged
Medical – oral
contraceptive pills
Intra uterine devices like mirena
