General Fertility Questions
■ What are the common causes of infertility in men and women?
Infertility can result from various factors. For women, these include irregular ovulation, blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities, or hormonal imbalances. For men, infertility often arises from low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or structural issues. In some cases, no identifiable cause (unexplained infertility) is found.
■ At what age does fertility typically decline?
For women, fertility begins to decline around age 30 and drops more significantly after 35. By 40, natural conception becomes less likely. Men also experience fertility decline, particularly in sperm quality, after age 40.
Fertility Diagnostics
■ What tests are done to diagnose infertility?
Diagnostic tests for women include hormone level checks, ultrasound scans, hysterosalpingography (HSG) to evaluate fallopian tubes and endometrial evaluations. For men, a semen analysis assesses sperm count, motility, and morphology.
■ How long does the diagnostic process take?
Depending on the case’s complexity, most tests can be completed within a few weeks. Once the results are ready, we’ll analyse them thoroughly and recommend the best treatment plan.
Fertility Treatments
■ What is IVF, and how does it work?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) involves retrieving eggs from a woman’s ovaries, fertilising them with sperm in a laboratory, and transferring the resulting embryo(s) to the uterus. IVF is ideal for conditions like blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or unexplained infertility.
■ What is ICSI, and when is it recommended?
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a technique where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to achieve fertilisation. It’s typically recommended for severe male infertility, previous fertilisation failure, or when very few viable sperm are available.
■ What is embryo freezing, and who can benefit from it?
Embryo freezing, or cryopreservation, involves freezing embryos at an optimal stage of development for future use. This method is ideal for individuals planning to delay pregnancy or those producing excess embryos during an IVF cycle, as it offers flexibility for future attempts.
■ How does Janitva IVF treat uterine abnormalities like fibroids?
We use minimally invasive hysteroscopic procedures such as myomectomy to remove fibroids, polyps, or adhesions. These procedures restore the uterus’s natural shape, improve fertility outcomes, and reduce risks like heavy bleeding or recurrent miscarriages.
International Patients
■ Does Janitva IVF cater to international patients?
Yes, Janitva IVF welcomes patients from around the world. We provide dedicated support to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience, from initial consultations to treatment completion.
■ How does Janitva IVF assist international patients with their journey?
Our team offers tailored support for international patients, including virtual consultations to begin the process, travel planning assistance, and accommodation guidance near our centre. We aim to make your fertility journey as comfortable and convenient as possible.
■ How long will international patients need to stay for treatment?
The length of your stay depends on the treatment. For example, an IVF cycle typically requires a 2–4 week stay to complete ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer. Your care plan will include a detailed timeline to help you plan effectively.
■ What language support is available for international patients?
We accommodate international patients by offering language assistance and ensuring clear communication throughout their journey. Our team is dedicated to making every step accessible and supportive.
Treatment Preparation
■ How should I prepare for my first consultation at Janitva IVF?
Bring any previous medical records, including test results, imaging, or summaries of prior treatments. Be ready to discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and fertility goals. Virtual consultations are available for initial evaluations for international patients.
■ Are there lifestyle changes that can improve fertility?
Yes, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and managing stress can enhance fertility. Women should consider taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid to prepare their bodies for pregnancy.
Post-Treatment Questions
■ How long does recovery take after a procedure like a hysteroscopy?
Recovery from hysteroscopic procedures is typically quick. Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within a few days. Mild cramping or spotting is normal and usually resolves within a week.
■ When can I try to conceive after undergoing a procedure?
The timeline depends on the procedure. After minimally invasive surgeries like myomectomy, patients are often advised to wait 2–3 months for the uterus to heal before attempting conception. Your doctor will provide personalised advice based on your situation.
Emotional and Psychological Support
■ How does Janitva IVF support patients emotionally during treatment?
We understand that fertility treatments can be emotionally taxing. Janitva IVF provides access to counselling, support groups, and empathetic staff to help you navigate the emotional aspects of your journey with confidence and resilience.
■ What resources are available for stress management during fertility treatments?
We offer various resources, including counselling sessions, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness exercises. Our team is here to support you and ensure that you feel emotionally balanced throughout your journey.
■ What happens if a treatment cycle doesn’t succeed?
If a treatment cycle is unsuccessful, our team will review your case to identify potential reasons and discuss alternative strategies. We provide continuous emotional support and encourage patients to stay hopeful as we explore new options.

■ How does Janitva IVF use advanced technology in fertility treatments?
At Janitva IVF, we leverage the latest technologies like 3D imaging, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and AI-assisted embryo selection to maximise success rates. These innovations allow us to provide precise, effective, and minimally invasive treatments tailored to each patient.
