Medline Academics

Today, millions of couples face the problem of infertility, among which one of the biggest problems is the lack of knowledge and understanding. Today, infertility is one of the most important health problems of the modern era and the lack of knowledge and understanding is one of the most important of these problems. The infertility cases have been steadily increasing in India due to lifestyle changes, postponing childbirth, stress, environmental factor, medical issues, etc. The demand for fertility treatments is increasing with the demand for highly trained reproductive medicine specialists with both theoretical background and practical skills in clinical activities. If you're a postgraduate doctor seeking ways to get ahead in this exciting new field, then a Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine may be the most important career choice you can make.

Reproductive medicine is a very specialised branch of medicine with the treatment and diagnosis of infertility and helping couples achieve their dream of parenthood. Reproductive medicine requires a much more detailed understanding of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), preservation of fertility, reproduction endocrinology, embryology, ultrasound–guided procedures, and evidence-based management of treatments for infertility, not covered in the scope of general obstetrics and gynecology. The sophistication of today's fertility treatments is where it started—after a structured fellowship program with academic training with hands-on clinical experience, healthcare facilities are actively looking for specialists.

The selection of the training programme is also a crucial decision to make, when selecting a specialty. Medline Academics has become one of the premier institutes to impart education and awareness in Reproductive medicine with the best infertility course in India. The fellowship is customized for postgraduate medical doctors and consists of a detailed program, which includes both classroom training and clinic, aimed at building self-confidence in clinical practice with patients suffering from infertility.

Medline Academics' Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine is very well planned to provide the fellowship with a broad exposure to all aspects of evaluation and treatment of Infertility. The aspirants are exposed to wide variety of topics both basic and advanced to kept up-to-date on the cutting edge of fertility healthcare.

One of its unique characteristics is that of practical learning which is particularly strong at Medline Academics. There are theoretical aspects to reproductive medicine but it is not until they are able to implement the theories that they become competent. While at the fellowship, the doctors get a thorough training on simulation-based experiences, that's overseen by complex medical simulation that is as close as possible to the fertility procedures in reality. In a safe and controlled environment, they can practice on a range of fine skills without the risk of human error or the risk of harming the patient - boosting the confidence and accuracy of skills before using them on patients.

After simulation training Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals one of the trusted fertility Hospitals in India does comprehensive clinical attachment. Here, Fellows can see and consult patients and work-up for fertility, perform ultrasound assessment of fertility, administer ovarian stimulation treatment, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, hysteroscopy, fertility preservation and perform a multidisciplinary approach to infertility. It provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in learning the technical aspects of fertility treatment and the importance of counselling the patient, good ethics, communicating with patient and providing patient-specific treatment.

Experienced clinicians' insights are a transformative part of medical education and this is another reason why Medline Academics are well renowned in providing the best infertility course in India. The participants can learn from experts of national and international repute who have years of clinical experience and experience in teaching in classrooms. Interactive discussions, case-based learning, journal reviews, practical demonstration and evidence based teaching methods ensure that all members of the fellowship acquire tremendous clinical reasoning skills which can be applied to day to day activities.

Besides, the fellowship has good exposure to the field of reproductive endocrinology most fundamental in management of infertility. Medical doctors learn the diagnosis of various hormonal conditions which affect fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), low ovarian reserve, thyroid disorder, hyperprolactinemia, premature ovarian failure and other hormonal abnormalities. To be able to treat fertility, the reproductive specialist should be able to develop these specific protocols that would increase the chances of pregnancy and reduce the risks associated with treatment. Endocrine physiology is important for this.

Male infertility is one of the rapidly emerging problem in the current fertility practice and almost 50% of infertility cases are attributed to male infertility. The Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine provides extensive training in the many disciplines of male reproductive medicine including semen analysis, evaluation of semen hormones, retrieval techniques, evaluation of azoospermia, genetic evaluation and advanced andrological concepts. The complete perspective provides fertility doctors a complete view of both parties – not just the woman's infertility.

The fellowship is distinctively strong on its focus given to Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). Fertility treatment is constantly evolving, and research is ongoing that continues to impact treatment. The participants learn in detail by critically reading and analysing the scientific literature, as well as by interpreting research data; they know the international guidelines for fertility and use this in clinical decision making. This academic approach enables graduates to deliver treatment plans that are backed up by scientific evidence and are in line with the current treatment standards in the worldwide community.

Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals is one of the top fertility institutes in India to provide them with their expertise. The hospital has a wealth of experience and a proven track record in the field of reproductive medicine and has helped hundreds of couples conceive by providing state-of-the-art fertility treatment and caring for them. Patients will prefer to have the best IVF doctor in Bangalore and Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals has bagged some of the most experienced fertility doctors in the country. The Fellows are gaining from these experts, and what they hear and learn from them is enhancing their experience and allowing them to see how precisely, with empathy, and creativity, the intricacies of infertility are being handled.

With the best IVF doctors in Bangalore, there will be a wonderful learning environment as they will encounter a variety of cases ranging from simple cases of ovulation disorders, to more complicated cases like recurrent IVF failures, severe male infertility, endometriosis, uterine abnormalities, fertility preservation before cancer treatment, donor programmes, advanced reproductive surgeries, to name a few. The various clinical scenarios allow doctors to be confident in treating patients of different complexity in the future.

In the field of reproductive medicine, technology has made great strides and reproductive doctors need to be at ease working with high-tech diagnostic and treatment equipment. During the fellowship, participants will be exposed to state-of-the-art reproductive technologies such as high-resolution ultrasonography, embryo culture systems, cryopreservation techniques, quality control measures in the lab, fertility preservation strategies, genetic screening technologies, and digital fertility management systems. These technologies help Drs provide quality, patient-centred fertility care in the modern clinical environment.

One of the most important reasons for doctors to seek specialist training is that it is a stepping stone to a better career. Upon completion of a Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine, opportunities for the future grow as well, with Fellows having chances to work in IVF centers, fertility hospitals, academic institutions, reproductive research and independent fertility practices. As the field of infertility has grown immensely in India and all around the world, fertility specialists with fellowship experience are still going strong in both public and private practices.

The second notable benefit of using Medline Academics for training is the setup of the structured mentorship. The participants receive constant academic supervision, feedback, clinical supervision and performance evaluation all throughout the fellowship to support their professional development. The program emphasizes more than just exams – it promotes critical thinking, ethical behaviour, communication with patients, leadership development and life-long learning.

Medline Academics, having a partnership with Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals with experienced faculty, high-quality simulation training along with academic excellence and structured clinical exposure makes it a top choice for doctors to opt for best infertility training course in India. Students not only develop their clinical skills, but their confidence to provide high quality, evidence-based fertility care that's on par with international standards upon graduation.

With the growing importance of infertility as an issue in health care, the demand for trained reproductive medicine professionals will keep rising. By undertaking advanced fellowship training today, doctors will be at the leading edge of one of the fastest-growing medical specialties. By completing a Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine, a physician can gain the knowledge and skills to change lives as they help couples conceive a successful pregnancy in addition to establishing a successful and sustainable medical career.

AI, we start with outpatient. As fertility care becomes increasingly digital, patients can expect a more streamlined and personalized experience from their very first consultation. Advanced AI powered tools are helping clinicians reduce administrative burden while improving patient communication and clinical decision making. Such innovations are gradually becoming an integral part of modern fertility treatment in Bangalore, enabling fertility centres to deliver efficient, patient-centric care while optimizing clinical workflows. We'll be using AI in outpatient and before.

AI in Outpatient Clinics

The advances in natural language processing may lead to, in the future, to the analysis of the clinical notes and ability to prepare reports, engaging conversational AI chatbot for common questions. I mean, there are lots of questions they ask. And that can be solved. Some because they get a lot of information and disinformation from internet. So just to confirm that they will give a call. So, AI will solve that problem. And they come with a bunch of papers.

How many cycles she had. Some clomiphene or gonadotropin. How many failed cycles she had. So, this will be dealt with AI. AI will prepare the reports. And that's solving the problem for the clinician.

AI Chatbots and Patient Support

Time will be much less. And in the same time, she or he will be able to see more patients. AI chatbot responses may provide answers to simple questions that would reduce the time requirement for the clinic staff. Make the clinic available 24 hours a day. They are very insecure, infertile couple. They can phone even at 12 o'clock. But consultant will never pick up. So, AI can solve that problem. And they are satisfied that clinic is available 24 hours a day.

Emotional Well-being and Mental Health Monitoring

AI feedback and mood tracking. Very much defaulted about the emotional part. Capabilities can be captured in real time. AI deep learning models have been shown to sense and respond to emotion. There will be social robo. They will find out who is depressed, sitting in no pity. Or who is crying. They will solve the problem. Whether they have the need in one-to-one counselling or group counselling.

Breaking Language Barriers

That will be solved by AI. And automatic speech recognition and real time language translation with capacity for speech to text translation may reduce language barrier. If any patient from Afghan or Arabic country, you don't need a translator.

It's like Chinese president is talking to Donald Trump. Immediate translation. Donald Trump can hear in English. So that is another advantage.

AI in Ovarian Stimulation

Now we have recruited patient. Now we'll start the IVF.

How much of gonadotropin we'll be using? Normally what we're doing, we take care of the age, BMI, AFC, follicle count and image level. And it's 150 to 450 units. However, the potential for follicle recruitment decreases after about 8 days.

Suppose we find after 7-8 days follicles are not growing, then even after pumping in more gonadotropin, it's not going to respond. So, the critical nature of the starting FSH dose is very important. AI is going to guide us there.

Personalising Gonadotropin Dosage

Several machine learning models harnessing historical clinical data are being advanced to streamline and selection of the initial FSH dose for IVF. Providing a standardised framework to enhance the personalisation of treatment protocol, mitigating the variability. Sometimes there will be suboptimal response.

Sometimes there will be over-response. So, AI will take care of that. Exactly what amount of gonadotropin we have to start.

Machine learning model by Fenton et al, they personalise those response profiles using variables. They have taken care of age, BMI, AMH, and until follicle count. Could indeed customise the starting dose to enhance IVF outcomes and reduce the overall gonadotropin consumption by 195 units with 1.5 more M2 mature sites.

One way reducing the dose and at the same time we are getting more mature sites is showing the potential of AI to personalise and improve fertility treatment protocol. It's not only the starting dose. Real-time titration.

It can do how much? Do I have to reduce? AI will guide. Do I have to increase? AI is guiding. Do I have to use LH component now? AI will guide.

AI in Follicular Monitoring

Now, when I am giving gonadotropin injection, follicle will grow. How to monitor those follicles? Automatic measurement of the follicular diameter. Normally what we do, we take the diameter. To biggest diameter, we take the average. But here, we'll do the volumetric assessment. Automatic volumetric assessment.

Using follicular volume obtained with automatic measurements of follicular volume as the measure of follicular growth combined with the volume-based criteria for HCG triggering to improve the treatment outcome compared to that achieved with conventional monitoring of the follicular diameter. So, we are doing volumetric assessment, I mean follicular scanning. Now, this is one of the pictures, 3D.

Now, that follicle scan, what it has shown, AI ERP software can analyse in detail all information by automatic measurements of the follicular volume with 3D ultrasound and HCG trigger. And there was only 3.27% discordance between the clinician's finding and AI finding. So, it's highly reliable and automate the routine task in IVF centre.

Now, the follicles are growing. Now our next job is when to give HCG. That is also another part.

We follow the traditional rule of thumb that when three follicles are 17 mm or more, then we give HCG. That means three follicles is working as a surrogate for the whole cohort of follicles. Actually, the optimal timing of trigger lacks evidence-based consensus and lends itself to AI solution.

What AI is doing? Utilising a deep learning segmentation model from 3D ultrasound data, Liang et al. pinpointed the follicle volume thresholds that more accurately predict oocyte maturity and optimising HCG timing. The use of the model increases yield by two to three more oocytes.

So timing is guiding and we are getting at the end two to three more mature oocytes. Another AI model examining 19,000 patients across UK and Poland in their first IVF cycle, they found out the follicle size between 12 to 20 contributes most of the number of oocytes retrieved. And follicle size between 13 to 18 contributes most of the number of mature oocytes.

And when we bring it to the lab, there we found out that follicle between 13 to 18 mm contributes most to the number of 2PN, which is fertilised oocytes. And follicle size between 14 to 20 were most important for high quality blastocyst. It's guiding that we should trigger much earlier.

AI in the Embryology Laboratory

Of course, we'll follow AI only later on. Now the retrieval has been done. The oocyte has come to the lab. Now we ask the husband to provide a sample. When the sample comes, the question would see the sperm quality. The research application of AI system to sperm evaluation sorting and selection has generally been more advanced than that of oocytes, with many using computer-assisted sperm, because we have been using already CASA, Computerised Assisted Sperm Analysis.

Moreover, unlike oocytes, visually identifiable parameters such as sperm motility and morphology have been shown to reflect DNA integrity. I mean, AI can tell whether it has a good DNA integrity by looking at the motility pattern. As a result, AI system have been developed to automate this evaluation to save time and avoid subjectivity and variability inherent in manual assessment.

Sperm selection, Goodson et al., they have developed a support vector machine model that reported motility characteristics with 90% accuracy. It means that motility actually is linked with the DNA integrity. Mendizabal Rui et al. used a proprietary computer vision system to select individual spermatozoa for XE based on kinetic, linear velocity and lateral movement of the head, and that correlates with the fertilisation and blastosis formation. Sato et al. developed a CNN-based system simultaneously performing morphological assessment and tracking of sperm in real time to assist in sperm injection.

During XE, we look at the microscope that has a 400 magnification, but we cannot actually make out how good is the sperm quality-wise. So for that, then again, we started doing MC with a 6,500 magnification. That is very expensive.

Sometimes even an embryologist needs half an hour to select one sperm. But here, in real time, it will guide us, this is the sperm you catch and inject. Now, sperm is selected quality-wise. Now, the oocytes, normally after pickup, we keep it in an incubator. They will take some rest. They are tired.

Then we take them out for denuding because we can't really say anything about the quality unless the cumulus cells are removed. So, we just check the oocyte quality by looking at the zona and the polar body and the cytoplasm and the perivitelline space. But AI algorithm with advanced image analysis can assess oocyte's homogeneity, ooplasm's homogeneity, zona's integrity, and the presence of cytoplasmic inclusion or vacuoles, all of which are important indicators of oocyte quality which are not discernible by manual evaluation.

The embryologist can't say much about that. So oocyte selected, sperm selected, now we get the embryo. Now how we see the quality of the embryo. In clinical embryology, we don't yet know the feature or the set of features that is most predictive of IVF success. It is possible that the most important variable for a successful IVF cycle could still be unknown to science. That's why when an IVF cycle fails, we really can't say anything to the patient why this has happened.

But in principle, maybe uncovered by AI system, this may be referred to as a computational embryology. That means in future, there won't be clinical embryology. It will become computational embryology.

AI model analysing time-lapse imaging can significantly improve embryo implantation potential as it can detect subtle morphological changes and dynamic behaviour which is difficult to discard. Studies highlight AI potential to standardise embryo selection, particularly in centres with limited access to experienced embryologists and underscores its reliability. I'll take just three minutes. VitroLIFE's IDEA score evaluates embryo viability with a neural network analysing time-lapse videos and Fertility's CHLOA embryo assistant evaluating probability of embryo implantation. AI is seen as an opportunity to increase the percent stagnant success rate by 15 to 17 percent. So, we'll have more implantation by at least 15, 17 percent.

The integration of AI into embryo assessment represents a significant step towards precision embryology. By combining advanced imaging technologies with expert clinical judgement, a best IVF hospital in Bangalore can further strengthen embryo selection strategies, helping clinicians make more informed decisions while improving the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.

Non-Invasive Embryo Assessment

Potential, because we'll be doing biopsy to find out whether it's employed or competent or not. But AI will tend non-invasive. Blastocyst with image enhancement.

So, it will do that. And how much? AI's ability to analyse embryologic images and clinical data presents a quicker, most cost-effective, non-invasive solution. New AI model accurately predicts embryo ploidy starts from optical microscopy image increasing precision from 65 to 77 percent.

You can see how they do the enhancement of the images. Clearly, inertial mass and topoectoderm is seen. Now, this was with a husband and couple aside from the wife and sperm is from the husband.

AI in Donor Matching

But suppose we need an AI donor. It's difficult. They put a laundry list on the couple, this kind of donor they need. So the use of this process requires a good match. And AI models trained on large database of facial images has been used in a variety of settings to identify suitable individuals. The intended result is a child that is physically resembling its intended parents so that they can pass on as genetically related. In Spain, they are doing a very good business and the clinicians are very much under pressure because they can tell about the lactobacillus dominance in the uterine cavity. And AI, now, we know about the embryo. Now we come to the guest house. I mean, how about endometrium before transfer? There also we use AI. There's an endo classifying AI software that will tell us good endometrium and bad endometrium. Good endometrium has 90 percent negative pregnancy result.

The growing adoption of AI in embryo assessment in reflects a broader shift towards precision reproductive medicine. As trusted IVF centre in Bangalore, Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals is committed to incorporating advanced technologies alongside evidence based clinical protocols to support informed decision making, improve laboratory efficiency, and enhance the quality of fertility care delivered to every patient.

AI for Embryo Tracking and Safety

So, now, endometrial using a combination of AI on embryos and endometrium in the same patient, we could achieve a high success rate in IVF. Now, when the embryo is transferred, we have to think, does this embryo belong to this lady? So, AI safe tracking, tracking of embryos also and I finish. I think AI, it's not a plug and play device.

The tools in the market as under development have the potential to transition care to the next level, but require consider appraisal before they're incorporated in IVF practise. AI has some challenges and especially data privacy. Anyway, that has to be encrypted like in encryption.

Anyway, make no mistake, AI is the future and the future is bright. Thank you. Thank you, sir, for opening such a wide vista of the AI applications in our day-to-day practise.

My colleague here was asking me, are we all doing this? But I told him yes. We have reached a long way now where we have automatised incubators, where we are seeing multiplications and division. We are also doing PGD testing, we are doing genetic analysis.

And now if AI comes in, it will definitely be a great assistance.

As lifestyles change, delayed marriage, environmental change, awareness about reproductive health has made the demand for qualified people working in the field of infertility skyrocket. The field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) has been a revolution in the field of diagnosis and treatment of infertility and is among the fastest expanding areas in modern medicine. In addition to the ever-increasing demand for fertility specialists with specialized skills and experience in reproductive medicine, India is witnessing a surge in fertility clinics both within the country and internationally. This emerging interest has made a Fellowship in Infertility one of the most desired career advancement program for gynecologists and medical experts who want to become experts in the field of fertility care.

A Fellowship in Infertility is a much more than an academic qualification. It's a complete learning experience with high level knowledge of reproductive physiology, evaluation of infertility, hormonal disorders, assisted reproductive technology, embryology and evidence-based patient management. The experience in the post-graduate program will primarily be theoretical, but a fellowship will provide more opportunities for clinical exposure, practical learning, simulation and practical case management. The aim is to train doctors to make well-informed diagnosis, develop personalized treatment plans, execute procedures in a precise manner with utmost ethical considerations.

India today is becoming one of the top countries to avail fertility treatment and the success rates are on par with other countries throughout the world. This is due to the quick development and it is important to develop appropriate training programmes to link the academic learning and clinical practice. The top experts in the field of reproductive medicine are looking for the best course on infertility in India that will have a blend of science and experience. It is very crucial to choose the right institution as the quality of the training is directly proportional to clinical confidence, patient outcomes and career prospects.

Medline Academics is a name to be reckoned with in the field of reproductive medicine education that abounds with institutions that are par excellence. Medline Academics is a renowned institute for doctors all across the country providing a top infertility course in India specifically for doctors who are working in the field and want to improve their knowledge and understanding about infertility management. The course is well planned to adhere to the latest international recommendations, so that the participants have access to the latest information on all matters related to reproductive medicine. The programme consists of theoretical teaching along with demonstration, simulation training, exposure to live patients and mentoring by experts, thus the students would be confident in dealing with a case of infertility on their own.

Medline Academics' unique hybrid learning model offers flexibility without sacrificing the quality of education. Through a structured program of online learning and intensive hands-on training in simulation with clinical attachments which can be supervised, doctors can continue their clinical practice while simultaneously completing their fellowship. This strategy provides learners with a holistic educational program and also allows them to practice the skills in a systematic way in a controlled setting prior to application in real clinical scenarios. This type of model has come in handy for medical professionals who are busy and want to advance their career.

The use of simulation-based learning in medical education has become commonplace and a central tenet of teaching in the field of reproductive medicine. Doctors have a tremendous advantage in learning how to conduct delicate procedures on patients, using simulators first that closely simulate real-life situations. High fidelity simulation training for procedures like transvaginal ultrasound-guided follicular assessment, ovum pick up (OPU), embryo transfer (ET), intrauterine insemination (IUI), hysteroscopy and other fertility related procedures is included in Medline Academics. Repeated simulation helps to reduce the learning curve, increase hand-eye coordination, accuracy, confidence and patient safety.

Learning in the clinic is always valuable for any fellowship program. The fellows who opt for Medline Academics undergo supervised training at one of the most famous fertility hospitals in India – Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals. This clinical attachment consists of observing and engaging in actual infertility evaluations, treatment planning, ovarian stimulation protocols, IVF cycles, ICSI procedures, embryo transfer, fertility preservation and pregnancy follow-up of real patients. This wide-ranging exposure helps to seamlessly transfer theory to the real world and catapults participants into the confidence of managing a variety of cases in the field of infertility.

The fellowship is enhanced by the reputation of Dr Kamini Rao Hospitals. The hospital was established by the Padma Shri Prof. Dr. Kamini A. Rao, a pioneer in the field of reproductive medicine and has been a leader for over 40 years in treating fertility. The institution remains a major contributor to the clinical innovation, medical education and research in the field of Reproductive Medicine.

When patients look for the best IVF doctors in Bangalore, the highly qualified team of fertility doctors, embryologists, counsellors and nursing professionals at Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals always convey this impression. The hospital provides all the fertility services including male fertility, female fertility, donor, recurrent pregnancy loss management, advanced laparoscopic services, genetic counselling, fertility preservation, donor sperm/egg, male/female fertility services, and infertility evaluation. All treatment plans are tailored to the needs of the couple, taking into account medical history, diagnosis and reproductive objectives, delivering comprehensive patient care.

Medline Academics' academic collaboration with Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals provides a unique learning environment that integrates education and clinical excellence. Learn from the mentorship of leading experts in the field of fertility with a wealth of experience in handling basic and advanced infertility treatments. The experience from experts who have influenced reproductive medicine in India is tremendous as they have taught us directly; such knowledge cannot be acquired from books. Case discussions, journal reviews, multidisciplinary meetings and evidence-based clinical decision making further enhance the educational experience.

The other great advantage of engaging in the Fellowship in Infertility at Medline Academics is that responsible and ethical reproductive practice is also a focus. There are numerous medical, emotional, legal and ethical sensitivity issues to consider with assisted reproductive technology. Physicians know how to sensitively communicate with couples with respect and privacy, how to obtain informed consent, how to follow the guidelines for ART and how to apply evidence-based medicine to deliver the optimum care. This holistic education instills in the graduates the technical and ethical skills to ensure their success in the field and their capacity to provide holistic care to patients.

The field of reproductive medicine is constantly evolving and has evolved newer technologies such as time lapse, embryo monitoring, preservation of fertility, AI in Embryology and the latest lab techniques. Hence, it is imperative that the postnatal care specialists not lag behind in the practice of their work and are interested in furthering their education. This is because Medline Academics' curriculum is continually revised with the latest research and technology, and in line with the current international guidelines, as this ensures the participants have the latest knowledge that will be relevant to today's fertility practice.

Infertility Fellowship offers a wide variety of job opportunities with high job satisfaction. Graduates may be able to establish an Infertility Clinic, join Multispecialty Hospitals, opt for academic teaching, work as Clinical research or get involved in the expanding Fertility network in India, and other countries. As more and more couples seek to understand the issue of infertility and more couples are choosing to use assisted reproductive treatment, the demand for trained fertility experts is projected to grow in the next few decades. Therefore, structured fellowship training is ideal for doctors to build up rewarding and successful careers in reproductive medicine.

One of the most critical decisions of any doctor who wants to specialize in fertility care is to select the best infertility course in India. A fellowship program should offer evidence-based academics, plenty of clinical exposure, planned simulation training, well-trained faculty, hands-on clinical learning, ethical support and mentorship. Medline Academics manages to combine all these crucial elements in a single Fellowship programme: Infertility – a great option for physicians who want to pursue excellence in reproductive medicine.

IVF is a carefully planned process that involves multiple stages, from selecting the most appropriate treatment protocol to ET and pregnancy monitoring. Understanding each step of the IVF journey enables both patients and healthcare professionals to make informed decisions, manage expectations, and improve treatment outcomes. For clinicians looking to deepen their expertise in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), advanced academic programmes such as a Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine in India provide a comprehensive training in fertility evaluation, IVF protocols, ET techniques, and evidence-based patient care.

In this educational session, fertility expert Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh explains the key stages of IVF treatment—from understanding fresh and frozen embryo transfer options to embryo preparation, implantation, and the emotional aspects of navigating the IVF journey. These practical insights help healthcare professionals and fertility specialists gain a deeper understanding of clinical decision-making and patient counselling throughout the treatment process.

So now IVF options, okay? Is fresh better than frozen? Is frozen better than fresh? Should I do this? Should I do that? I'll break it down for you.

So, you basically have two IVF options, transfer fresh or transfer frozen. Fresh means putting in an embryo about five days or even three after an egg retrieval. Five days after an egg retrieval, that embryo is called a blastocyst, has hundreds of cells, and you can also then freeze the embryos.

Freezing means you now have two options, genetically test or not. I call genetic testing the murkiest of murky, of murky, murky, murky crystal balls, but it's the best we have. Think of embryos as diamonds.

Embryos like diamonds can be beautiful on the outside and they sparkle, right? Diamonds sparkle too, but a diamond on the inside means a diamond is really good, but an embryo on the inside, when you're scrolling through the microscope, you can't see the chromosomes and that's why genetic testing can help. So I know, I can hear you guys say it. She has now come up with another mnemonic and it's true, and that's called embryo diamonds.

So those are the eight things you need to know about your embryos. So when you're about to do a fresh transfer, when you're about to do a frozen embryo transfer, when you're making decisions about what to do, remember the three questions and the embryo diamonds, the three questions that I always ask my patients, what do you want? What is it going to take to get what you want and are you willing to do it? What do you want means how many kids do you want and what is it going to take at the time of that fresh transfer? If you're doing a fresh, if you want, let's say two or three kids and because of your age and everything that your doctor knows about you, you have one embryo that you might want to freeze. Don't go into that fresh embryo transfer because you're not honouring the things that you want.

So make sure you talk through those things with your provider, with your partner, and make sure that you're on the same page so you feel like you really made the right decisions for yourself. Back to embryo diamonds, the eight things that you need to know about your embryos, what day were they frozen or transferred on, the implantation rate per embryo, whether they're abnormal, mosaic, and then with mosaics, find out from your clinic what their mosaic transfer and reporting protocol is before you do genetic testing. You don't want to be surprised that they won't report it to you or they discarded an abnormal embryo that could have been normal in the end if it was mosaic.

Get all the official reports, all of them, stem sheets, ultrasounds. I love my patients to have their diamond binder, ooh, diamondbinder.com. I need to look into that. And then we go to the N, which is how many are normal, the D, do these embryos help you reach your dreams and goals, and the S is sex.

No, I'm kidding. The S is how is the sperm on the day of the egg retrieval? So now you're fresh and you're frozen. And with frozen, the two options, remember, freeze to genetically test or freeze to transfer.

And now you have a decision to make is whether you want to do one of two things. I know, my husband's always telling me, Annie, you give people too many options, but I just want people to know everything that's available to them without making any assumptions about what they would do and just giving them basically a roadmap, and then you get to choose your own adventure. I like the word adventure.

I don't like other words, but like roller coasters, I try and keep it as a nice adventure with hopefully the best and easiest and most efficient happily ever after. Okay, you guys. So focus, two things, you have frozen embryos to transfer or not.

Preparing for ET requires careful planning, personalized treatment protocols, and continuous guidance from an experienced fertility team. Choosing the right fertility can make a significant difference in ensuring that every stage of the IVF journey is supported by evidence-based clinical care. Recognised as a trusted IVF Hospital in Bangalore, Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals combines advanced reproductive technologies with individualized treatment plans, comprehensive fertility assessments, and expert counselling to help patients make informed decisions throughout their IVF journey centre can make a significant difference.

So, we already talked about a little bit about the genetic testing piece, but to transfer or not means back to the egg whisperer diet. We got the D diagnosis, IVF, which I kind of just talked to, E is embryo transfer preparation. Take your time.

Talk to your doc about what have you ruled out? Are my labs normal? Is my lining normal? Is my cavity normal? Why are you choosing the protocol to transfer that you're choosing for me? Is my progesterone going to be enough? How can you reassure me about that? Use the words, what have you ruled out? What have you ruled out? Just saying it over and over, like, what do you see in this ultrasound? What do my hormone levels show you about me? Is there anything I can do to give myself the best chance of pregnancy before this transfer? Do you really feel that I'm going to give myself the best chance of transfer by doing it right now? And then the last question, the most important question, doctor, what would we do if this transfer didn't work? Because guess what? Sometimes you would want to know that because you might want to do that first before you do the transfer. For example, if I had a patient that just had one embryo and she was 42 years old, what we might do is do another cycle now. Like, you don't want to find that out after transfer didn't work or you unfortunately had a miscarriage.

You know what I mean? That'd be pretty annoying to think, like, oh my God, like no one told me enough about ovarian ageing and how important it was to do another cycle first. So embryo transfer preparation, we also have implantation testing. So I call it the mock cycle.

You can do it with the ERA test or the Receptiva DX test or both. Talk to your doctor about what tests they do for their patients. So I do both.

I think of the ERA test as the embryo, or what I should say, the evite to the funnest and best party. It basically tells you exactly what time to show up. And the Receptiva DX test tells me what to wear to the party, basically tells me what protocol I should use that will hopefully give my patient the very best success rate.

So now the transfer, and you guys all know what a transfer involves, is basically going to a lab, feeling relaxed, maybe doing a little something, something before and after, and that something, something is acupuncture before and after, and then getting that embryo home. The most important guest in your home, which is your uterus, is that embryo. You want to welcome it. You want to feel like you're well prepared, not overwhelmed, not stressed or feeling rushed about any decisions you're making. And hopefully that embryo is going to do everything it needs to do, which is stick and grow.

At Medline Academics, our mission extends beyond professional training to empowering healthcare professionals through expert-led educational resources in reproductive medicine. Through expert-led academic initiatives and IVF training in India, we help healthcare professionals strengthen their understanding of assisted reproductive technologies, evidence-based treatment protocols, and patient-centred fertility care, enabling them to confidently apply these concepts in clinical practice. By sharing practical clinical insights from experiences fertility specialists, we aim to enhance the understanding of IVF treatment, ET, and patient-centred fertility care, enabling clinicians to make informed decisions throughout every stage of the fertility journey. 

The next thing I want to talk about is dealing with a failed IVF cycle. And that is so, so hard. So when I tell my patients is, first of all, I'm really sorry, you didn't deserve this, and you didn't cause this. And the thing is this, when my patients have a negative pregnancy test or transfer that doesn't work, they know that I'm not going to bed at night unless I feel like I've given every single person their best chance of IVF success.

I'm not doing a transfer unless I've ruled out and talked through all the things that I'm talking to you guys about right now. So it's so important to talk to your doctors too about these things before your transfer. Otherwise, you're going to be kicking yourself like, why didn't I ask that question? The problem is a lot of people just don't know what questions to ask.

Okay, so now you have unfortunately a failed IVF cycle. I digressed a little bit. So you have to give yourself the space that you need to get through the moment.

Don't make any big decisions. Don't throw everything away. Like I've had patients do it and throw everything away in that moment.

I'm like, just don't do anything irreversible. Just know that your feelings will change and give yourself space and, you know, take the time that you need, but reconnect, regroup and make a plan. And I always bring myself, my patients in for a post IVF consult within, within, you know, at least a week or no more than a week from that transfer.

So we can go through everything we did, everything we learned, answer your questions, all this into your gut feelings on things. And we'll kind of talk through all the things that I've talked to you guys about, ask your doctor the same questions. What have you heard about? What can we do next? What's our plan? And then get excited and get hopeful and try again.

And it's really hard to have hope right now. You guys, it's really hard to be positive. And that word positive can be super annoying, especially when you have family members that are like, just be positive and everything's going to work out.

And you're like, yeah, that was the thing. But I talk about hope as four things. I know another mnemonic.

Have only pragmatic and practical and positive expectations. Notice the first P is not positive. I still want you to be positive, of course, but more so practical and pragmatic, pragmatic is the most important and strong and resilient is why you guys are here and watching me today.

So now let's just go to the good stuff. And that's when you're finally pregnant with that embryo and what to expect along the way. So the first thing to know is that you're going to feel anxious and you're going to feel worried and you're going to think that something's going to be wrong all the time.

And it's going to be really hard to reassure you. So it's really important for you to talk to your doctor about how they can reassure you and what they can do to continuously reassure you that everything is going right. The things I do for my patients are HCG progesterone levels.

I check them about three times and then once a week until the ultrasound. After the ultrasound, I ask my patients about how they're feeling and when they want to be seen again. And then I get them to their OBGYN usually between 10 and 12 weeks of pregnancy.

And I tell my patients that I'm like herpes. I'm just kidding. It's not herpes.

It's like luggage. I'm always there for you in your house. You know where to find me so that if a patient has a question, they're not sure where to go because no one's answering them.

Then they know that they can reach out to me. If you don't have that kind of resource, it's OK. But make sure that you have a care team that's treating your pregnancy like a VIP, a very important pregnancy.

Wow, I just talked a whole bunch about fertility and I can do it a whole lot more. And I hope you guys are all sparkling out there and I commend you. And I am so what's the word I'm trying to use? I can find it.

I can find it. I am so impressed by you that with all the things that are going on in the world that you are working so hard to bring love into your life and into our world because I know everyone who's going to be a mom and dad right now with what's going on is going to make this world a better place. And that's what gets me fired up.

So how do we do basic workup of infertility? Basic Infertility Course emphasizes the importance of systematic patient evaluation, early diagnosis, and timely intervention to improve fertility outcomes.

We all know that the prevalence of infertility in India is not ranging between 3.9 to 12.6. It is much more than this. It is much more. And after COVID, it has really increased.

So how to go about? Look, so many times we can do only a good examination and seeing the patient once she enters, we know how to go about. For example, these are two types of patients. And I know as soon as I get a patient like this, who's an oldie, that even if she doesn't want to go for IVF, if she's around 40, we have no time to lose.

Probably she should go for IVF, whatever eggs she's got, we have to utilise them. One thing which I want to share to you, we all know that the fertility declines after the age of 35 years. The Indian women have menopause 5 to 6 years earlier than the Western world.

In fact, the Asian women. So, we have to learn to take action as soon as possible. We've already talked about the carrying angle, the web neck.

So, we have to keep our eyes open once the patient is entering. This boy is typically looking like hypoandrogenism, PCOS we know. So, we have to see these features because so many times a patient enters my OPD clinic and the first question which I ask her is, what is your menstrual cycle? How often do you have it? As infertility care keeps progressing, having structured Online Infertility courses in India is now essential for clinicians who want to offer patient-centred and evidence-based fertility treatments. Medline Academics provides comprehensive fellowships and certificates in Reproductive Medicine, Infertility, and ART. These programs help bridge the gap between theory and actual practice. They do this through expert-led talks, hands-on training, case discussions, and showing the latest advances in fertility care. As a result, healthcare pros can confidently evaluate infertility, create personalized treatment plans, and improve patient results in reproductive health.

So menstrual history is important. Any history of overdue periods, how is the period like? I have already talked about the importance of temperature in a clinic who is doing infertility practise. ESR again is very important.

Sometimes we see a rise of ESR from a low level to a high level. Again, it gives me a reason to think that what should I be doing? TVS I always call it is like a pen for an infertility specialist. For example, even if you people are not doing your scans by yourself, the first step of practising infertility is start putting a TVS probe.

Now, as an infertility specialist, any TSH more than 2.5 should be treated. Right? Number two, if the TSH is anywhere between 2.5 to 6.7, I would just treat her by 12.5 L-Troxin. The medicine for thyroid should be taken empty stomach. At Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals, one of the top reproductive medicine centers, they really stress the need for a thorough infertility assessment as the basis for successful treatment. With some of the best IVF doctors in Bangalore on board, they follow a patient-focused and evidence-based method. Thanks to their fancy labs, expert team, and advanced equipment, each couple gets a personalized evaluation and plan that fits their specific needs.

The clinic covers everything from simple infertility tests to high-tech assisted reproduction methods. This means that no matter where you are in your fertility journey, there’s support along the way. Their blend of know-how, caring staff, and new ideas pushes for quick diagnoses, smart choices, and better results. So, if you’re looking into getting help to start a family, they offer the whole package – guidance, top-notch care, and a higher shot at success.

It is like hit and try as well. Usually, my policy is if somebody's TSH is 50, I know it will click somewhere around 50, the dose of L-Troxin, but it is obviously hit and try. Once you start giving L-Troxin, you can call her after one and a half months and see that if she is in your range or not, and you can titrate.

Yes, by the pituitary and this will help in milk release. So, if we do one sample of prolactin, the results might not come normal. I have seen prolactin as high as 180, but the next day when I did, the prolactin was absolutely normal.

So, one recommendation as an infertility specialist is that do a polled sample. Patient does not have to pay for the three samples. You have to take three samples or your lab person is instructed to take three samples at an interval of one hour so that if there is an emotional element in one sample, by the time second and third sample comes, you know, it's mixed and we get the average result.

Semen analysis again, it's very important as a basic workup. In fact, to tell you, our centre has got a machine to test the semen which is a very interesting machine. We put a drop of the semen sample on it and the result comes on the screen.

It's an AI, the AI is put into it and the results come within a minute. The best part about it is, it's so easy to explain it to patients that what her semen report is like because otherwise, they are just getting pages and pages and pages of so many reports and they don't know. And usually, we as infertility consultants also see just the reports, we don't see the sample ourselves.

The WHO recommends that at least 4% of the sperms should be normal morphology. That is, out of every 100 sperms, at least 4 should be normal. So, this report also talks about the morphology.

So, now coming to the next slide, we have already talked about the male infertility, what every gynaecologist must know. But still, that day, I had to rush through some of my interesting slides. So, I would take a pause and naturally, the first examination we are doing to check if the male is normal or not is the semen examination.

We get three type of scenarios.

Number one, a very good count in motility.

Number two, not so good count, but something is there and they are not very active as well.

And the third scenario is azoospermia.

Very good count and motility excludes out a male only in 90% cases. It is not that a good count and motility is a sure shot indication that the male is fertile because there are so many times acrosomal defects which is affecting the egg penetration.

So, this sure shot confirmation that the male is fertile is number one, if the wife is pregnant. Number two, if we see fertilisation in IVF. So, we can't guarantee every male that he is not responsible for infertility.

Lots of cases of unexplained infertility where we have worked up and we are seeing that the girl is normal, that the male is normal, but still, they are not getting pregnant. So, so many times the male is responsible. Number two, situation where the count and motility are not so good.

Now, what to do? Lifestyle modification. I really take lot of time in explaining to patient that how much lifestyle modification has a role.

The constituents in it really have wonderful effect on male fertility. Number two, in such a case I will always see at the culture because I already told you that the subtle infection of the semen is responsible for DNA fragmentation, spoiling the sperms and making it effective. So, this is number two.

What do we do in ICSI? We'll be sharing a short video or we'll be posting in the group that how do we do ICSI. In ICSI, what is the difference between IVF and ICSI? I'll take just a moment to discuss that. In IVF, we collect the eggs and we put sperms in it for natural fertilisation. This is called in vitro fertilisation. It is happening inside the lab, inside the incubators. Now in ICSI, one egg is picked up and one sperm is inserted in it.

The needle goes from the groyne area to the epididymis and we aspirate the fluid in it. Where is it required? It is required in the cases where there is a blockage, the epididymal blockage. It could be congenital or it could be secondary, so some infection of the male.

So, in PISA, we are going to take out the sperms, see them under microscope and we do it at the time of pickup. So, here we are collecting the eggs. Once the pickup is done, the embryologist or the urologist or the surgeon will aspirate the sperm sample from the male and then these sperms are going to be used to inseminate, to do ICSI.

So, this is called PISA. What is TISA? In TISA, we put a needle directly into the scrotum, into the testes and aspirate the sperms. But what is the difference between PISA and TISA? In PISA, we will get the motile sperms, the mature sperms which have left the testes.

But in TISA, so many times we will not get mature sperms. So, we prefer PISA rather than TISA. Low count and motility.

So, oxidative stress is very important which is leading to high sperm DNA fragmentation and this is responsible for 30% of unexplained infertility and also cases of recurrent abortions. When I will be taking the class of recurrent abortion, I will be telling you that 50% times the male is responsible. So, once we are treating a patient of recurrent abortions, we are just not allowed only to take care of the lady or think about the factors which are affecting only the female.

Yes, oral antioxidants do have a role in bringing the live birth and pregnancy. Okay, so this is again, although I did touch about this topic yesterday, but the male genital tract infections, subclinical. What do I mean by the word subclinical? Clinical is when the male comes to you or to a surgeon with a problem.

He comes with a complaint of prostatitis or some pain while passing urine or recurrent UTI. So, this is clinical male genital tract infection. But a subclinical male genital tract infection is when the male doesn't know absolutely that there is any problem or not, but it is you who are going to pick up.

Usually, it is the residual corpus luteum. At times, I would call the patient after 2-3 days and check if it has gone or not. If it has not gone, then I would try to take a break cycle and give her any OCP or something so that by next cycle, this is not seen.

So, on day 2, we want to see silent ovaries. Number 2, you also have to count the antral follicles. We call them antral follicles, these small bubble-like things because this is going to help you to plan your action and at the level of the endometrium, we want to see thin endometrium.

A Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine is one of the best careers that can be pursued in the medical profession that has a close relation with reproductive medicine. Such a good fellowship would not only help them consolidate their learning in the clinic but also provide them with first-hand experience of what happens in practice and the guidance of the experts as well in the field of infertility management. Medline Academics is one of the leading institutes for advanced training in fertility and doctors who want to receive the best course on infertility in India are in trust with Medline Academics. Medline Academics' programs and training are helping shape the future of the nation's fertility experts.

Alongside clinical exposure at prestigious fertility clinics are also important. With some of the best IVF specialists in Bangalore, Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals is still making a significant impact in the field of fertility care and excellence in clinical practice.

Specialists' increasing demand to treat infertility. Infertility demands specialized treatment from specialists.

Reproductive medicine has undergone a lot of change in the past ten years. Methods like IVF, ICSI, fertility preservation, donor programmes, recurrent implantation failure management and genetic screening are now getting more and more advanced. Today's patients are looking for treatment options that suit them, caring counseling and evidence-based treatment protocols.

But, the demand for fertility treatment is increasing but there is a lack of well-trained infertility specialists in India. Numerous medical practitioners and gynecologists are interested in the field of fertility but are struggling to find any well-structured training programs that can provide a comprehensive learning and a practical exposure as well.

A focused Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine is where this is critical. It provides a link between theory and practice and helps doctors to confidently diagnose and treat infertility patients.

The best fellowship program will give candidates skills in:

Evaluation and workup of infertility

•         Ovulation induction protocols

•         Ultrasound monitoring

•         IVF stimulation cycles

Some girls are over 30 years old now. Or she has periods, irregularity. Then we would suggest at least 6 months. After 6 months of regular pregnancy, they can at least take a specialist opinion to do a certain test to know if there is a problem or not. For many, it will take 1 to 2 years. 80% of them will conceive in the first year. 90% will conceive within 2 years.

We just tell them what are the difficulties of 10%. It is better to approach them once. Ok, so first of all, what are the basic tests for couples? See, when they approach, we take a basic history. Then, what affects a girl's pregnancy? The husband's sperm should come. After the two come together, the sperm should be attached to the uterus. So, our basic test is to check those 4 parameters.

For a girl, just to check, we do a basic scan. In the scan, we can see the uterus and ovaries. So, we at least ensure that there are no cysts in the uterus or ovaries. For men, we do a basic semen testing. We check the sperm count, motility, and structure. We also check the tubes. If the tubes are open or not. Because both the egg and sperm come together in those tubes. And the embryo develops there.

After that, the embryo should be attached to the uterus. So, in ultrasound, we get a picture of the uterus. In scanning, the ovaries will also come to know. We get an idea about the number of the girl's egg. So, after all these tests, if everything is fine, then we just help them in conceiving most naturally possible techniques. Again, we did a 20th scan. May be, we got 90th DNA test. What did you get? 90th DNA test. May be.

I am not writing any doubt about ectopic. But, HSC levels are doubling every 2.5 days. See, mainly if there is an ectopic. Ectopic means, if there is no sac in the uterus, there will definitely be an ectopic doubt. So, beta HCG, serum beta HCG, We got at least 2000 value. But still, if it is not visible in the scanning, Usually, it is an ectopic. 90-99% is an ectopic. If beta HCG is less than that, then we have to monitor. To know whether it is doubling or not.

If it is doubling, we can keep repeating the scan regularly. If it is not doubling, then we need to check for ectopic. So, we scan again. The ectopic is definitely visible in the scanning. If the ectopic is visible, we have two modes of treatment for that. Either we give an injection.

It will be disintegrated. Or we have to remove the tube. If the ectopic is in the tube.

There are many advanced treatments. IVF, ICSI. In such treatments, Pregnancy will definitely happen. If you change it immediately, Success rate will be better. Because, When the age of the girl increases, When you wait like this, The result will decrease. Whichever IVF is successful for you, You have to try up to 2 to 3 IVFs.

If you go early, Success rate is better. Right madam. After the test is done, What are the basic treatments? See, A girl has regular cycles. But still, She is not conceiving. Basic tests are normal.

At Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals, IVF protocols are developed considering the safety of patients as the topmost priority. Backed by decades of clinical experience, top IVF Doctors in Bangalore, and on-going advances in reproductive medicine, treatments are customized, closely monitored, and supported by adequate scientific evidence. Misinformation about IVF and long-term health risk factors usually create myths; our role is to replace it with clear facts, transparency, and compassion.

We start with IUI. - IUI means Intrauterine Insemination. Because, we don't have tests to check. After the test is done, Will the sperm enter the uterus? Or not? Instead of that, When the husband, we track the ovulation of the girl.

During the ovulation time, If the husband gives us a sample, In the lab, We process it. We separate the active sperm. Through a syringe, We insert it into the uterus. In this, Success rate is 3 times higher. Compared to, Regular intercourse. In most cases, 2 to 3, Maximum 4 cycles, Pregnancy occurs. But, if a girl has irregular cycles, when they approach, For the first time, We correct the cycle. Now, she is getting 1 and a half, 2 months. We give medications.

Regular ovulation, In the middle of the month, 14th or 15th. We correct it first. Then, They can meet naturally. We monitor it. We give dates. Maximum couples, With irregular ovulation, Pregnancy occurs very fast. They do not require, Any high-end treatment. This is something, They have to have the knowledge, To correct it fast, When they get married. In the IUA, How much sperm count, Morphology, Motility should be? Basically, In the IUA, Success rate depends, On the sperm count.

Sperm count should be, at least 10 million. In the sperm, After washing, The movement of the sperm, 5 to 10 million, Minimum count should be there, To get a success rate. Morphologically, Minimum 4 percent, Normal count should be there.

In the post-wash sample, At least 80 to 90 percent, Motility should be there, To get a good success rate. When the sperm count is less, The IUA should not try, For more cycles. If the pregnancy does not occur, After one or two attempts, Then, There are high-end treatments, Like ICSI, IVF, Which will give a, Very good success rate.

Especially, When the sperm count, Is very low. So, For a woman, Who wants to do IUA, What kind of complications, Should not be there? See, IUA is absolutely, A safe treatment. There are no complications, In it. It is one of the, Best treatments, Actually. Just before, If you want to plan, Before IVF, For two to three cycles, It is absolutely safe. But, Do not try for more cycles.

What will happen - Every IUA, there are some patients, for 5 to 6 attempts, they will try for more, For 8 to 10. So, what will happen? For the women, the eggs will decrease, Because of repeated injections, With repeated tablets. So, such treatments, When the success rate, is only 10 to 15 percent, With IUA, you can stop for four cycles.

So, what are the reasons, For IUA to fail? If IUA is not successful, What is the next step? See, In IUA, what we are monitoring, Basically, we are studying the ovulation, We get an idea, When the egg is released, In the scanning. Now, after the egg is released, We do not see, Whether the tube has taken it or not, In the scan. So, You really do not know, Whether the egg has picked up or not, Whether it went inside the tube. And, We are putting sperms, Into the uterus. We are putting it to the uterus. After the sperms, It has to go.

Now, if there is an ovulation on the right side, It has to go to the right side tube, And, It has to mix with the egg. That is called, Fertilisation process. So, For some eggs and sperms, Fertilisation does not happen.

So, that is something, that can fail. Another thing is, After the embryo is developed, The embryo should be healthy. And, the embryo should reach the uterus.

It has to push the tube to the uterus. After it reaches the uterus, The embryo has to go to the uterus. So, whether the egg has picked up or not, whether it has been fertilised or not, Whether the embryo has been developed, whether it has been transported to the uterus, And, So, In these four steps, No clinician, No doctor can assess.

So, It is a matter of error. So, you can just keep checking, three to four times, If it fails repeatedly, Then, Definitely, In these four steps, It will fail at some level. So, For those couples, They have to go forward.

How do we go forward?

So, Now, We have a doubt, Whether the egg will be collected or not. So, What we do as clinicians, We collect the egg from outside. Now, Whether the fertilisation is happening or not, We are not very sure.

What we do in the lab?

We take the husband's sperm, And, We collect the egg, And, We fertilise it in the lab. Again, The embryo development is not, We cannot see, In the scanning. So, The embryo development is changed in the lab, And, It is cultured for three to five days, Then, The embryo is put back into the uterus. Then, Only the implantation has to happen. So, Definitely, In IVF, No one will get it. In IVF, The success rate is definitely very high.

So, Among the people who get IVF, If only one tube is open, How much success will they get? See, One tube is just, Enough for pregnancy. You need not worry at all. Many people, Due to ectopic, They block the tube, Either because of infection, Or, They remove the tube, Surgically, Because of ectopic.

So, In one tube, Pregnancy may occur, But, The ovary should be released on that side. We monitor that in the scanning. So, If there is a block on the left side, During ovulation on that side, We have to withdraw. So, During right side ovulation time, We change it, And, At least, You can go for IVF, After 3 to 4 attempts.

What is the difference between, IVF, ICSI, and IMSI? What is the success rate?

See, Patients do not have awareness. IVF is a fertilisation procedure. IVF means, In vitro fertilisation. So, We do not collect egg sperm, And, We do not inject it. We just keep it near, In a culture dish, Naturally, Sperm goes inside, Inside the egg.

But There are some criteria for this. Minimum husband's sperm count, should be at least 5 million. But, Now, If the sperm count is very less, And, If the sperm has no motility, Very poor, No motility at all, For such low count, Low motility, We have to go for ICSI.

Anything less than 2 million, For ICSI. ICSI is what? Intracytoplasmic sperm injection. So, Here, In this treatment, We hold the egg, Put the sperm in a needle, And, Directly, We inject the sperm, Inside the egg.

So, This gives very good success rate. Almost 80 to 90 percent, Fertilises. So, We do not waste the eggs. Now, In IVF, In IVF, Eggs can be wasted. So, In ICSI, We are utilising all the eggs, And, Giving better success rate. Now, What is sperm count, And, Motility is important, Morphology. Now, For many people, Sperm is morphologically abnormal. Sperm has a head, Body, Tail. So, Out of those three structures, If there are any defects, We can magnify them, And, Identify them. That is ICSI, With morphologically selected sperm, That is IMSI. So, We can inject that into that egg. So, When morphology is less, IMSI will give better success rate.

So, Now, Egg and sperm, When we select good quality, And, When we make it, Embryo quality will be good. And, Embryo quality will give you, Whether the success rate will be good or not. So, Our all the goal, Towards, Our centre is only towards, Creating the best possible embryo, And, To put it at the right time.

So, To achieve a good success rate. So, In this, In IVF, In ICSI, With count, With morphology, And, With motility, Is there any relation? Count, Means, Count should be like this, Or, Morphology should be like this, Motility percentage should be like this, Is there any relation? See, Now, In IUI, In IVF, That is very important. But, Now, The technology with ICSI and IMSI, Till now, With the least possible count, Now, Some people do not have sperms.

We are taking from the testers, And doing it. Good success rate. So, That is what we have achieved, With all this technology today.

So, medical condition, BP, sugar, so many associated conditions are also there. So, when we do IVF, we have to consider all this background knowledge, improve that patient's parameters to improve better success rate. So, we are achieving definitely a better of up to 60-70% when we control all these factors. In IVF, the fertilisation is done outside. So, you take good quality eggs. You also take quality sperm.

Why is it not successful? What is the reason? Yeah, so what is the most important in this is the female age. Because we are giving injections in IVF, right? So, it only matures the existing eggs. There, the egg count is not increasing. So, after the maturation, we collect the eggs. Only after that, we get to know the egg quality in the lab. Till now, we do not have any test to know the egg quality before egg collection. That is one important thing. And for some people, the age is more now. There is a thing called pre-IVF medications. For a girl and a boy, which we give to improve the egg and sperm quality. So, we concentrate on that parameter. Now, IVF should not be changed suddenly as an emergency.

If you check that and use the medicines and change the IVF, the result is definitely better. Once you give egg and sperm in the lab, there is nothing you can do about it. So, whatever the best possible is pre-IVF. Within 2 to 3 months, we plan the IVF cycle. Once we get it in the lab, what is in our hands is that we use the best cultured media. The media we have used definitely gives a better success rate.

Technique, who is doing the technique of ICSI? That technique of ICSI is important to get better fertilisation rate. Culturing conditions, how is the quality of the lab now? So, we standardise all those things and try to get the best quality embryos. Day 3 transfer or day 5, we call it blastocyst. There is no difference between the two. Both are giving very good success rate. But, there are certain things, when we do the first IVF, we just go ahead with these things. We just do a simple protocol, simple culture, simple fertilisation and transfer and see. If the IVF fails, then we have a lot of advanced techniques to know. Now, what you are asking, all that we apply in the second IVF. If it fails, what we look at is the pregnancy condition. In the scan, we can only see the endometrium, the thickness of the endometrium, whether the flow is good or not. So, those things we can check.

But, we really do not know whether the endometrium is receptive to the embryo at that time. So, there are certain tests. Now, there is an endometrial receptivity assay, which we do a biopsy and analyse whether there are implantation genes in the embryo or not.

At what time do we transfer the embryo? Because, day 3 transfer is from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening, day 3. But, for some people, the implantation window will be open only for a few hours for the uterus, for the embryos. At that time, we identify and transfer the personalised embryo. Now, there is something called PRP.’ So, we take the blood of the patient and separate the platelets. Platelets have two advantages. One is that it secretes growth factors, which improves the embryos. The other is that the platelets are adhesive, that is, it acts like a glue. So, the attachment of the embryo to the uterus also improves. So, endometrial PRP and error test actually improves the results in IVF. And, regarding egg and sperm, as I told you, we cannot change that. But we can test the embryo, that is called PGS. Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening.

So, what we do here, Previously, IVF failed. They are saying that it is of good quality in the previous cycle. So, then what we do, Now, to see the embryo, how we grade it in the lab, we tell grade 1 embryo, grade 2, grade 3, on the development panel.

Now, if we see a baby, it looks good from head to toe. It looks normal. But, only after talking to a patient, you will know whether it is mentally retarded or IQ. So, that is what we do in the lab. In the lab, you just see the growth development. Today, there are 4 cells and 8 cells. So, we will only come to know that the embryo is alive. But, it is of good quality when we do the genetic study. So, what we do then is, through embryo biopsy, we take some cells of the embryo, especially on day 5, after doing the biopsy of the blastocyst, we send it to a genetic lab. Till then, we keep the embryo in freezing. From the genetic lab, within 15 to 20 days, they will give a report. Whether the embryo is genetically normal, healthy or unhealthy.

So, this is called functional testing of the embryo. So, if it is unhealthy, it should be thrown away. There is no use in transferring the embryo. And, it will give an indication as to why the previous IVF failed. It is probably because of genetic problems. So, if it is healthy, our IVF success rate improves to 70-80%. If I normal embryo to a good uterus, our IVF success rate is almost very high. So, these are the techniques today to improve our IVF success rate. So, they should not go for it in the first IVF.

Because, in almost 10, in 6, in simple IVF, a positive comes. But, the remaining 4 to 5 people who failed the first IVF, they can do the evaluation and if they need the techniques, they can change it. So, to get an IVF MC, how much should a woman's age be? And, if a woman's age is low, the eggs will also become hard, right? What should be the treatment for such people? See, one important thing about age.

They will not understand this. Age is basically what I am telling now. For a girl, she may tell she is 25 years. She may tell she is 30 years. She may be 35 years. But, we are IVF specialists. What we are worried about is the over age. So, there are tests to know your over the age. For a 25 year old girl, now we are getting, when we do IVF, the eggs look like a 35 year old.

Why does it happen? Because, certain women are ageing fast. So, their eggs decrease very fast. So, because of quantity decline, the quality also decreases. So, for us, as IVF clinicians, we want to know, how is the egg quality over the age? With respect to that, our IVF success rate is best for women before 35 years. The moment 35 years pass, the egg quality, what do you mean by quality? There will be genes in the egg. Basically, women are giving 50% of their genes to the baby.

There will be changes, genetic mutations. That is why, the risk of abortion increases after 35 years. So, whatever you plan, you have to plan before 35 years.

That is the critical period. If there is an advance, there are a lot of techniques today. Whatever I told, ICSI is a very good, giving good fertilisation rate in women with advanced age.

Another is laser assisted hatching. So, when the embryo, shell is very hard, when the thickness is more, we will do a laser thinning. By thinning the zone, the implantation potential will improve. So, these are done additionally for aged women. Okay. So, when the tubes are blocked, will you go directly to IVF or is there anything to clear the blocks? See, now we have a HSG test. That is basically a simple X-ray. That is a screening test. We give it to everyone. In that, for those who have a block, 90% of them can open it. There is a procedure called FTC by laparoscopy. Where we do fallopian tube catheterisation. You can open it with a laparoscopy. But the remaining 10% of the block could be a permanent block. That is because of infections.

So, for those who have a permanent block, IVF will give a good success rate. So, how much success rate is there for this infertility problem in Head Day Fertility Centre? See, we are giving a very good success rate because we have a very big team. Actually, we are almost 7 clinicians, 3 embryologists.

So, 10 brains are working for a single patient's success rate. So, I think the big team definitely gives a very good, high success rate. So, that is what I believe in. And one of the most important thing is today we get by patients only. Our success rate is mainly because of our patients referring. So, one of the good technologically advanced team, I would tell.

Medline Academics, in collaboration with Dr Kamini Rao Hospitals, Bangalore.

Clinical embryology has sneaked to be among the most significant foundations of contemporary reproductive medicine. Though the majority of us are aware that IVF is a method of curing infertility, hardly anyone knows about the science and accuracy occurring within the laboratory that allows one to get pregnant. The embryologist who was handling eggs, sperm and embryos with utmost care and responsibility is behind every successful IVF cycle.

This is a field that is rapidly expanding in India. As more people are becoming infertile, lifestyle issues, marriages delayed and more people becoming aware of the fertility treatments, the demand of professional embryologists is soaring. The niche laboratory job is turning out to be one of the most desired and well-requiring jobs in the healthcare field.

Our Fellowship in Embryology at Medline Academics is aimed to train students in this very specialized area with practical clinical experience and practical learning. It is affiliated to the Dr Kamini Rao Hospitals, Bangalore, which is one of the most reputed in the field of reproductive medicine and is widely regarded as one of the best IVF hospitals in Bangalore where students get intensive training in embryology practicals.

Why Embryology is proving to be one of the fastest growing professions in India.

The development of embryology in India is directly associated with the increase in infertility treatments. In the last ten years, IVF has ceased to be an expensive and very rare procedure and become a frequently prescribed solution to infertile couples. This has turned to a high demand of professionals with training to handle the sensitive laboratory aspect of IVF.

Contrary to other medical professions that are either saturated or rely solely on the input of a doctor, embryology is specialization where the outcome of the IVF cycles greatly depends on the ability of the embryologist. The most seasoned fertility expert will not be able to produce the results in the absence of an effective embryology team that oversees the fertilization process, embryo growth, and culture conditions within the laboratory.

Global recognition is another factor that has led to this boom. Their high level of technical exposure and flexibility has made Indian embryologists work in top fertility centers in the world. Science, precision and world opportunities combine to make embryology one of the most promising careers in the reproductive healthcare today.

The IVF Success and the Real Role of an Embryologist.

To comprehend embryology, you have to comprehend how delicate the IVF process really is. And when eggs are retrieved off the female partner and the sperm is collected off the male partner then the real work starts at the laboratory. Embryologists come in at this point.

Embryologists then carry out fertilization in a controlled IVF setting, whereby fertilization procedures are commonly done using complex methods such as ICSI, in which a single sperm is injected into an egg. After that, they take good care of embryo growth within several days, choosing the healthiest ones and transferring them or freezing.

The most critical thing about this work is that embryos are living cells, which respond to any slight changes in the environment. Even minor changes in temperature, quality of air or the way they are handled can have an effect on their development. It is in this regard that embryologists are regarded as the silent heroes behind all the success stories of IVF.

Yet, Real IVF Practice poses challenges to Embryologists.

Embryology is a very rewarding career and at the same time one of the most challenging jobs in reproductive medicine. The responsibility that embryologists bear is one of the greatest challenges that they have to encounter. There is no margin of error as compared to other laboratory jobs. Any action taken within the IVF lab may directly affect the pregnancy or not of the patient.

The work has a great emotional aspect as well. Embryologists are not in contact with patients on a daily basis, but are well-informed that behind every sample, there is a couple eagerly awaiting a positive outcome. This feeling of emotion makes one feel the pressure to deliver every time without mistakes.

Another challenge is the technological complexity. The equipments employed in modern IVF labs are very advanced including use of micromanipulators, high environmental control incubators and cryopreservation systems. To stay abreast with changing technology, one needs to keep on learning and being adaptable.

To this, embryologists usually operate on time-sensitive schedules in which processes have to be carried out at certain times, irrespective of the weekends or holidays. No definite schedule is ever followed by the IVF lab and this requires dedication and devotion.

Nevertheless, in spite of all these issues, embryology is a highly satisfying profession as it is directly involved in the making of life.

The difference between Why Medline Academics Fellowship and other programs.

The difference between Medline Academics and most other training programs is that we have a great deal of real-world clinical exposure as opposed to classroom theory. Embryology cannot be learned just by lectures, it has to be observed, practiced and trained under the guidance of an actual IVF lab.

Our fellowship will provide students with first-hand experience of real IVF cycles, during which they will witness all steps of an IVF cycle, starting with egg retrieval and ending with embryo transfer. This applied learning will be done in partnership with Dr Kamini Rao Hospitals, Bangalore a pioneer in reproductive medicine and one of the best IVF hospitals in Bangalore with its advanced embryology lab and high success rates.

Students are trained under qualified embryologists and fertility specialists who also take them through practical procedures to ensure that they know not only how but also why all the steps involved in the IVF process.

Training Within a Top IVF Facility.

Learning within a high-volume IVF center is one of the most valuable things in this embryology fellowship. Students at Dr Kamini Rao Hospitals will be exposed to actual clinical processes, sophisticated laboratory processes, and continuous IVF procedures.

This setting makes the students familiar with a real-world environment of a professional IVF lab on the pressure. They can see the way embryos are treated, the way they are kept in quality and how decisions taken at crucial points of their growth. Such exposure instills confidence and equips them to practice independently in the future.

Career That Counts.

The work of an embryologist is not merely technical; it is a matter of responsibility, accuracy, and influence. Every embryologist is involved in one of the most emotional experiences of the life of a couple the experience of becoming parents.

Upon graduating the Fellowship in Embryology with Medline Academics, students are awarded a university-affiliated certificate which certifies their training and clinical exposure. This certification enhances their career profile and provides a gateway in the IVF centers in India and overseas.

Our graduates work as clinical embryologists, senior lab specialists and IVF consultants in well-known fertility centers. This is one of the most stable and respected careers in healthcare today since the demand of professionals with high skills is on the rise.

Future of Embryology in India.

India is fast emerging as a fertility treatment center across the globe. As reproductive technology has improved and couples are becoming more enlightened, IVF has ceased to be a final resort but a sure medical answer. This has seen embryologists being put in the spotlight of reproductive healthcare.

With the ongoing technological advancements, embryology will also grow to incorporate such aspects as genetic screening, enhanced embryo selection, and AI-assisted IVF methods. What it entails is that even greater numbers of skilled professionals will be needed in the future with the ability to integrate science and accuracy with the clinical judgment.

Final Thoughts

Embryology is one of the areas, where science is coming into contact with life, in its most fragile manifestation. It is never a simple profession but one of the most rewarding ones. It takes time, discipline, and profound regard to the process of creation itself.

We believe that at Medline Academics, we can train the upcoming generation of embryologists by using structured learning, clinical exposure, and mentorship. Through practical training in the Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals, Bangalore, students will be given the confidence and skills they require to establish a prosperous career in reproductive medicine.

Medline Academics stands out as a platform pushing clinical excellence for healthcare professionals. Their basic infertility course is structured and packed with practical, real-world insight. The focus is clear: reproductive medicine and online infertility courses in India. Instead of just pushing theory, they bring it to life, connecting what you learn in textbooks with the situations you actually face in the clinic. Young gynaecologists get the chance to work directly with experts, dive into hands-on sessions, and tackle case-based discussions. It’s about gaining both confidence and competence, so these clinicians walk away ready to deliver evidence-based fertility care, no guesswork, just skills that matter.

So how do we do basic workup of infertility? We all know that the prevalence of infertility in India is not ranging between 3.9 to 12.6. It is much more than this. It is much more. And after COVID, it has really increased.

So how to go about? Look, so many times we can do only a good examination and seeing the patient once she enters, we know how to go about. For example, these are two types of patients. And I know as soon as I get a patient like this, who's an oldie, that even if she doesn't want to go for IVF, if she's around 40, we have no time to lose. Probably she should go for IVF, whatever eggs she's got, we have to utilise them. We all know that the fertility declines after the age of 35 years. The Indian women have menopause 5 to 6 years earlier than the Western world.

In fact, the Asian women. So, we have to learn to take action as soon as possible. We've already talked about the carrying angle, the web neck. So, we have to keep our eyes open once the patient is entering. This boy is typically looking like hypoandrogenism, PCOS we know. So, we have to see these features because so many times a patient enters my OPD clinic and the first question which I ask her is, what is your menstrual cycle? How often do you have it?

So menstrual history is important. Any history of overdue periods, how is the period like? I have already talked about the importance of temperature in a clinic who is doing infertility practise. ESR again is very important.

Even if you people are not doing your scans by yourself, the first step of practising infertility is start putting a TVS probe. It is very easy. But the more you do, the more you learn. Thyroid and prolactin, I have always, I've already talked that it is really important to get thyroid and prolactin done.

Now, as an infertility specialist, any TSH more than 2.5 should be treated. Right? Number two, if the TSH is anywhere between 2.5 to 6.7, I would just treat her by 12.5 L-Troxin. The medicine for thyroid should be taken empty stomach. It is like hit and try as well. Usually, my policy is if somebody's TSH is 50, I know it will click somewhere around 50, the dose of L-Troxin, but it is obviously hit and try. Once you start giving L-Troxin, you can call her after one and a half months and see that if she is in your range or not, and you can titrate. Increase and a little bit decrease is absolutely on to you. Number two, as far as prolactin is concerned, we have to understand that prolactin is an emotional hormone. Right? Why do people secrete prolactin when the baby feeds? So, the prolactin is secreted by the pituitary.

Yes, by the pituitary and this will help in milk release. So, if we do one sample of prolactin, the results might not come normal. I have seen prolactin as high as 180, but the next day when I did, the prolactin was absolutely normal.

So, one recommendation as an infertility specialist is that do a polled sample. Patient does not have to pay for the three samples. You have to take three samples or your lab person is instructed to take three samples at an interval of one hour so that if there is an emotional element in one sample, by the time second and third sample comes, you know, it's mixed and we get the average result.

Semen analysis again, it's very important as a basic workup, but I told you yesterday also that it is not just the semen analysis we do, we also do the culture simultaneously in the first visit itself. In fact, to tell you, our centre has got a machine to test the semen which is a very interesting machine. We put a drop of the semen sample on it and the result comes on the screen.

Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals is known for providing the best IVF treatment in Bangalore. They are at the forefront of advanced fertility care, with decades of clinical experience and new ideas. The hospital combines evidence-based protocols, state-of-the-art technology, and personalized patient care to address a wide spectrum of infertility challenges. It is still shaping the future of reproductive medicine and helping many couples realise their dream of becoming parents, thanks to its strong focus on clinical excellence and training.

It's an AI, the AI is put into it and the results come within a minute. The best part about it is, it's so easy to explain it to patients that what her semen report is like because otherwise, they are just getting pages and pages and pages of so many reports and they don't know. And usually, we as infertility consultants also see just the reports, we don't see the sample ourselves.

The WHO recommends that at least 4% of the sperms should be normal morphology. That is, out of every 100 sperms, at least 4 should be normal. So, this report also tells about the morphology. So, now coming to the next slide, we have already talked about the male infertility, what every gynaecologist must know. We get three type of scenarios. Number one, a very good count in motility. Number two, not so good count, but something is there and they are not very active as well.

And the third scenario is azoospermia. I want to say that a very good count and motility excludes out a male only in 90% cases. It is not that a good count and motility is a sure shot indication that the male is fertile because there are so many times acrosomal defects which is affecting the egg penetration.

So, this sure shot confirmation that the male is fertile is number one, if the wife is pregnant. Number two, if we see fertilisation in IVF. So, we can't guarantee every male that he is not responsible for infertility.

Lots of cases of unexplained infertility where we have worked up and we are seeing that the girl is normal, that the male is normal, but still they are not getting pregnant. So, so many times the male is responsible. Number two, situation where the count and motility is not so good. The constituents in it really have wonderful effect on male fertility.

Number two, in such a case I will always see at the culture because I already told you that the subtle infection of the semen is responsible for DNA fragmentation, spoiling the sperms and making it effective. So, this is number two.

No, we have to take care, we have to follow rules because maybe no problem comes today, but 20 years after, suppose that there is some problem between husband and wife and they sue against each other, you will unnecessarily come into their trap. So, if the FSH is less than 15, it means that there is normal spermatogenesis. Ideally yes, you should refer this patient to IVF centre so that we can see that it is some blockage because in such cases IVF is required.

What do we do in ICSI? We'll be sharing a short video or we'll be posting in the group that how do we do ICSI. In ICSI, what is the difference between IVF and ICSI? I'll take just a moment to discuss that. In IVF, we collect the eggs and we put sperms in it for natural fertilisation.

This is called in vitro fertilisation. It is happening inside the lab, inside the incubators. Now in ICSI, one egg is picked up and one sperm is inserted in it.

So, I'll be sharing a real video today only in the group and whatever I'm saying, if I'm forgetting something, please do message so that our team can take care. So, this is called ICSI. Now what is PISA? In PISA, there is percutaneous needle.

I mean the needle goes from the groyne area to the epididymis and we aspirate the fluid in it. Where is it required? It is required in the cases where there is a blockage, the epididymal blockage. It could be congenital or it could be secondary, so some infection of the male.

So, in PISA, we are going to take out the sperms, see them under microscope and we do it at the time of pickup. So, here we are collecting the eggs. Once the pickup is done, the embryologist or the urologist or the surgeon will aspirate the sperm sample from the male and then these sperms are going to be used to inseminate, to do ICSI.

So, this is called PISA. What is TISA? In TISA, we put a needle directly into the scrotum, into the testes and aspirate the sperms. But what is the difference between PISA and TISA? In PISA, we will get the motile sperms, the mature sperms which have left the testes. But in TISA, so many times we will not get mature sperms. So, we prefer PISA rather than TISA. Low count and motility.

So, oxidative stress is very important which is leading to high sperm DNA fragmentation and this is responsible for 30% of unexplained infertility and also cases of recurrent abortions. When I will be taking the class of recurrent abortion, I will be telling you that 50% times the male is responsible. So, once we are treating a patient of recurrent abortions, we are just not allowed only to take care of the lady or think about the factors which are affecting only the female.

Yes, oral antioxidants do have a role in bringing the live birth and pregnancy. Okay, so this is again, although I did touch about this topic yesterday, but the male genital tract infections, subclinical. What do I mean by the word subclinical? Clinical is when the male comes to you or to a surgeon with a problem.

He comes with a complaint of prostatitis or some pain while passing urine or recurrent UTI. So, this is clinical male genital tract infection. But a subclinical male genital tract infection is when the male doesn't know absolutely that there is any problem or not, but it is you who are going to pick up. There could be temperature rise in as well. So, always keep in mind that semen culture plus semen PCR. So, whenever we are treating any subclinical infection, it's not just the antibiotics we should give, we should also give antioxidant and again males require antibiotics for a longer time.

Usually, it is the residual corpus luteum. At times, I would call the patient after 2-3 days and check if it has gone or not. If it has not gone, then I would try to take a break cycle and give her any OCP or something so that by next cycle, this is not seen.

So, on day 2, we want to see silent ovaries. Number 2, you also have to count the antral follicles. We call them antral follicles, these small bubble like things because this is going to help you to plan your action and at the level of the endometrium, we want to see thin endometrium.

This piece turns attention toward something overlooked - men’s health. Women’s well-being lands headlines, funding, still men face quiet struggles with little talk around fertility, hormones, even the prostate. Spotlight rarely swings their way.

Though discussions on women’s health are common, coverage of men’s issues tends to stay minimal. Looking at it through a neurology lens, some key blind spots stand out - prostate problems, urinary tract challenges, intimacy-related difficulties, and trouble conceiving. These aspects shape male well-being but rarely get open discussion. Consider how many clinics focus solely on maternal check-ups or prenatal support. Nowhere across Indian cities do we find dedicated spaces addressing only men’s medical needs. That gap speaks volumes.

But in abroad, western countries, there is a lot of importance given to men's health recently. So, why is it important in India? So, men are considered as the breadwinners of the family. So, in cities, it is improving, but still in rural areas.

So, men are considered as the breadwinners. And when the men face health issues, then the entire family faces financial stress and other issues. So, men's health is very relevant in India, especially men's health issues, because it is still a taboo in India.

Nowadays, societal views often make it hard for someone facing male-specific health concerns to seek help. Because of fear - fear of being judged or treated differently - he may stay silent. Yet change happens quietly: more individuals learn about these topics through conversations, stories, experiences. Awareness spreads without fanfare. Some begin to speak up, visit clinics, ask questions. Stigma fades slightly each time someone chooses care over silence.

So, why men's health? So, it is a neglected part of healthcare in India. And there should be more infrastructure to correctly evaluate these patients, more specialists to evaluate men's health issues and treat them properly.

Starting strong in the world of fertility care, Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals holds a top spot among IVF center in Bangalore. Across the globe, people know it for skillful use of advanced reproductive methods. When you look at who changed how we treat infertility today, Dr. Kamini A. Rao appears again and again. Major changes in IVF practices trace back to her efforts, while progress in men's fertility research grew alongside.Instead of following trends, she built something lasting - hospitals where science meets real results. Top-tier tools sit alongside seasoned doctors who prioritize honesty in every decision. Ethical choices guide each step, just as research-backed methods shape every plan. Over time, countless couples have walked away fulfilled - not because of promises, but because doors once closed finally opened. Not just focused on treating patients, Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals dives into teaching and study work too. Because of this effort, progress in reproductive science across India gets a real boost. Learning and discovery take center stage alongside medical service here. Now, moving on to the next question. Are there any patterns you have noticed, whether it's age group, lifestyle factors or comorbidities that make Indian men particularly vulnerable? So, the basic problem is the younger generation today.

They lead a westernised, sedentary lifestyle, mostly work in the offices, 9-5 jobs, sit in front of the computer system and then they do not have the sufficient amount of exercise to make them fit and stay healthy. So, what happens is these are the most common age group, maybe 20 to 40s that face the most common amount of men's health issues and they become distressed. And also, India is the capital in the world for diabetics.

So, these sedentary lifestyle and westernised food and junk food has increased obesity and metabolic diseases in our country, especially diabetes. So, diabetes leads on to early occurrence of men's health issues, especially hormonal imbalances, sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction. So, this is why the Indian men, especially the younger men in their 30s and also 40s, experience an increased incidence of men's health issues today.

Yeah, absolutely. Your observation around early intervention really resonates well, doctor. So now, doctor, India still lacks standardised national screening programmes for things like prostate health, testosterone levels or even fertility evaluation for that matter.

So, what policy level interventions do you think are long overdue? Basically, in India, there is no proper infrastructure or proper protocols or SOP, standardised operating protocols for managing andrological patients or men's health issues. So, the basic step in order to streamline this would be establish SOPs. So, slowly the andrological care is becoming better.

More and more andrology specialists are getting trained and started practising. So, slowly this entire care would become more streamlined in the future. So, basically the initial level, grassroot levels, there needs to be some training to the grassroot level doctors handling these patients to treat basic cases and also to refer advanced complicated issues to respective urologists and andrologists to treat the patients better.

So, in India, for men's health, there is no screening as such. No screening government programmes as such. In private sector also, there is no screening.

But slowly, the master health check-ups and yearly check-ups are bringing in prostate health check-ups and all those things. So, prostate is one of the most men related issues, especially in India. So, prostate cancer screening has not picked up in a big way like western countries in India.

So, that also has to be brought into the standardised annual health check-up. And especially the PSA should be done in all men above 60. And also, high risk men with a family history of prostate cancer should get it done above 45 years.

And also, there should be some amount of screening for hormonal disorders as well as infertility at the grassroot levels. So, that also has to be implemented. And slowly we are bringing this into the SOPs.

And in the future, maybe within 4 to 5 years, this would be possible in India. And also, even physicians and other doctors, other speciality doctors are becoming more aware about this speciality. And slowly as the awareness improves, people are coming forward.

And also the fellow doctors or colleagues are also referring patients for getting a proper andrology care.

A shift has occurred recently in how andrology certificate course. Over ten years, training methods have changed significantly. Back then, men showing no sperm in their sample faced limited paths forward. Adoption remained the only real choice for many. Today, new diagnostic tools offer different outcomes. These advances opened doors once thought closed. Some treatments now allow biological fatherhood where it seemed impossible. Progress came quietly, without fanfare. Yet its impact feels deep for those affected. Breakthroughs in lab techniques support these shifts. They do so by revealing hidden possibilities within male fertility. One change stands out: hope exists today where none did before.

But now with the recent advances of in vitro fertilisation, IVF and artificial reproductive techniques, and advanced microscopic procedures like testicular sperm extraction, and various advanced sperm retrieval techniques and IVF techniques, patients with, so males with even zero sperm are able to have babies and children. So, that is how advanced it is right now. And also for these sexual dysfunctions also, treatments have become advanced.

Medline Academics is one of the most prestigious platforms in the medical field, focusing on the advancement of medical education and excellence in the field of medicine through training programs, online infertility courses in india, and skill-based learning programs. With a strong emphasis on bridging the knowledge gap between theoretical knowledge and practical clinical experience, Medline Academics has been working in association with the most distinguished medical experts in the country, focusing on providing the best training in the industry. With the aim of providing the best training in the field, Medline Academics has been playing a pivotal role in creating the next generation of skilled medical practitioners in the country. Previously untreatable sexual dysfunctions are now treatable and patients are curable and lead a normal sexual life. And also in the diagnostics part, the artificial intelligence is coming up in a big way, especially in semen analysis. Artificial intelligence are able to process a lot of data immediately and give us an accurate prediction about successful pregnancies.

This blog discusses the importance of a structured fellowship, and the best course in infertility in India and how advanced training can enable you to become a member of the league of the best IVF specialists in Bangalore.

Reasons why Infertility Medicine is a High-Growth Career Path.

Globally, infertility is found in almost 10-15 percent of couples, who are in reproductive age, and India is not an exception. Consequently, the assisted reproductive technologies (ART) including IVF, ICSI and fertility preserving surgery are becoming an ordinary and not extraordinary thing.

Infertility medicine is unlike the conventional clinical branches, which integrates:

Reproductive endocrinology

Embryology and lab sciences

Ethical decision-making and counseling.

This interdisciplinary character renders infertility thought provoking as well as a clinically gratifying endeavor. Nevertheless, it cannot be mastered just through textbook knowledge but requires structured practical training which is what is provided in a Fellowship in Infertility.

A Fellowship in Infertility is a post-graduating course of training that is structured to help medical doctors seeking the specialized knowledge in reproductive medicine and IVF. A fellowship has benefits such as:

Breath-taking theoretical background.

Monitored clinical experience.

Real-world case handling

Applied ART laboratory knowledge.

Senior IVF mentorship.

The aim is easy yet effective to make a competent physician a self-reliant, self-confident fertility expert.

Hands-On Clinical Exposure

It is not sufficient to have observerships. The most effective programs guarantee the active involvement in:

Infertility OPDs

Ultrasound monitoring

IVF cycles

OPU and ET.

IVF Lab Orientation

The gap between theory and real life practice is bridged by direct learning under experienced fertility consultants.

Career & Practice Readiness

Join reputed IVF centers

Build patient trust

Become a fertility practitioner on your own.

Manage moral and legal issues with ease.

Bangalore: The fertility hub of India.

Professional Credibility

Financial Growth

Generally, infertility specialists have a greater earning capacity than general practitioners particularly in metropolitan towns.

Long-Term Career Stability

As the infertility rate increases and ART is becoming more acceptable, the need of trained specialists will increase.

High patient volumes

Exposure to various clinical cases.

Affordable, but quality education.

Strong clinical outcomes

The selection of the optimal infertility program in India provides the physicians with both national and international significance.

How to select the Right Fellowship: Main Questions to ask.

Prior to enrolling, inquire (and the institute):

Does it have a comprehensive and programmed curriculum?

What is the extent of actual practical experience ensured?

What are the instructors and advisors?

Would the training make me ready to work independently?

Does the program match with my long term career objectives?

The correct fellowship must be difficult, all-hazard, and life-changing- not superficial.
