Infertility is a common medical condition that affects millions of couples worldwide. It is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or after 6 months if the woman is over 35 years of age). While infertility can be emotionally challenging, modern medical advancements have made successful pregnancy possible for many couples.
At Nirmala Maternity & Orthopaedic General Hospital, Hyderabad, our experienced gynecologists provide comprehensive infertility evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
