Fertility Care at Green City Hospital
Fertility is an essential aspect of reproductive health, and for many couples, the path to pregnancy can sometimes be more complex than expected. Infertility is a common concern, affecting approximately 10-15% of couples worldwide. In India, this issue is becoming more prevalent, especially in urban areas, as lifestyle factors, delayed pregnancies, and stress take a toll. At Green City Hospital, we are committed to providing personalized and compassionate fertility care to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore fertility options, facing difficulty in conceiving, or considering more advanced treatments like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), our experienced fertility specialists are here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Understanding Infertility: Causes and Statistics
Infertility can be caused by various factors that affect both men and women. With modern diagnostic techniques, many causes of infertility can be identified and treated successfully.
Common Causes of Infertility:
- Female Infertility
- Ovulatory Disorders: Conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and hormonal imbalances that affect egg release.
- Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Damage from infections, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
- Age-Related Decline: As women age, the quality and quantity of eggs decrease, making it harder to conceive.
- Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, affecting fertility.
- Male Infertility
- Sperm Quality: Issues like low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shape.
- Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, which can affect sperm production.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions that impact sperm production, like low testosterone levels.
- Genetic Factors: Genetic conditions can also be a contributing factor to male infertility.
- Unexplained Infertility
In some cases, despite thorough testing, the cause of infertility remains unknown. However, this doesn’t mean the problem can’t be addressed. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF often help overcome unexplained infertility.
Infertility in India: Key Statistics
- According to the Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction (ISAR), around 10-15% of couples in India experience infertility.
- In urban areas, infertility rates are higher, with couples seeking fertility treatment due to lifestyle changes, delayed marriages, and increasing stress.
- A study by the National Institute for Research in Reproductive Health (NIRRH) found that 1 in 6 couples in India struggle with infertility, and female infertility accounts for 40-50% of these cases.
Fertility Treatments: Your Options
At Green City Hospital, we offer a broad range of fertility treatments that are tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to provide effective solutions and compassionate care, ensuring that every patient has the best chance of achieving their dream of becoming a parent.
- Ovulation Induction
For women with irregular ovulation or who do not ovulate, ovulation induction medications can help stimulate the ovaries to release eggs. This treatment is often paired with timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination (IUI).
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI is a minimally invasive procedure where sperm is directly placed into the uterus during ovulation. It is recommended for couples with mild male infertility, unexplained infertility, or cervical issues.
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
IVF is one of the most widely used assisted reproductive technologies. During the IVF process, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in the lab, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus. IVF is often recommended for women with blocked fallopian tubes, severe male infertility, advanced maternal age, or unexplained infertility.
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): In cases of male infertility, ICSI involves injecting a single sperm into an egg to help fertilization.
- Egg and Sperm Donation
For couples unable to produce viable eggs or sperm, egg and sperm donation is an option. Donor eggs or sperm are carefully selected, and the resulting embryos are used for IVF.
- Surrogacy
For women who cannot carry a pregnancy to term, due to medical conditions such as uterine abnormalities or recurrent miscarriages, surrogacy may be considered. In this process, an embryo is created using the couple’s egg and sperm (or donor gametes) and implanted into a surrogate’s uterus.
- Cryopreservation (Freezing)
Egg and sperm freezing allow individuals to preserve their reproductive cells for future use, which is especially helpful for women undergoing treatments that may affect fertility, such as chemotherapy.
Fertility Technology at Green City Hospital
At Green City Hospital, we understand the importance of precision and care in fertility treatments. We utilize advanced technologies and highly specialized diagnostic tools to offer the best possible results for our patients.

- Comprehensive Diagnostic Tests: We conduct detailed hormonal testing, blood work, and imaging (such as ultrasound) to monitor ovulation, sperm quality, and uterine health.
- Genetic Screening: We offer Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to screen embryos for genetic conditions before transfer, improving the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Sperm and Egg Banking: Our facility provides sperm and egg banking services, helping individuals preserve fertility for the future or use donor gametes for treatment.
Fertility Success Rates
At Green City Hospital, we are committed to providing the best fertility treatment options available. While success rates vary based on individual factors, we are proud of our track record in helping couples achieve their reproductive goals.
Success rates for IVF treatments depend on several factors, including the woman’s age, underlying fertility issues, and the specific treatment used. Generally, IVF success rates are higher for women under 35 years of age, ranging from 40-50% per cycle. For women over 40, the success rates can decrease, but options like egg donation or embryo freezing can offer additional chances.
