Hypothyroidism affect fertility in India by suppressing the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, which delays or completely halts ovulation. An underactive thyroid raises prolactin and disrupts the luteinising hormone (LH) surge that triggers egg release, leaving even women with regular periods unable to conceive. Left undiagnosed, it is one of the most reversible yet overlooked causes of[…]
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, most often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. In India, it affects roughly one in ten women of reproductive age, yet the average diagnostic delay stretches to 7-10 years because painful periods are normalised as routine. Understanding[…]

In clinical terms, PCOS disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, elevating LH:FSH ratios and driving androgen excess, which impairs follicular maturation and suppresses the mid-cycle[…]
