Patient Background
A 31-year-old woman visited Nucleus IVF after trying to conceive for nearly three years. Despite regular menstrual cycles and no major health issues, pregnancy was not occurring naturally. The couple had already consulted multiple doctors and undergone basic fertility investigations.
Consultation with Dr. Pritam Sulakhe
During the initial consultation, Dr. Pritam Sulakhe reviewed the couple’s medical history and previous reports. While hormone levels appeared normal, Dr. Sulakhe explained that fertility assessment should include evaluation of the uterus and fallopian tubes.
He recommended an HSA test to check whether the fallopian tubes were open and functioning properly.
Diagnostic Findings
The HSA test revealed that one fallopian tube was partially blocked, while the second tube showed delayed dye spill. This explained why conception had been difficult despite otherwise normal fertility parameters.
Dr. Sulakhe carefully explained the findings and discussed the available treatment options.
Treatment Plan
Instead of immediately proceeding to advanced fertility treatments, Dr. Sulakhe recommended a structured fertility management plan that included:
- 1. Ovulation monitoring
- 2. Lifestyle modifications
- 3. Timed intercourse
- 4. Follow-up fertility assessment
The couple appreciated the transparent approach and personalized guidance.
Outcome
Within a few months of treatment and monitoring, the patient successfully conceived. Early pregnancy scans confirmed a healthy intrauterine pregnancy.
Key Takeaway
Many couples focus only on hormonal tests while overlooking tubal evaluation. An HSA test can reveal hidden issues affecting conception and help fertility specialists create a more accurate treatment strategy.
