Based on the cases I have handled, the phenomenon of ‘not being able to become pregnant’ can be caused by any of the factors discussed below.   As a trained gynaecologist, it amazes me to see the various misconceptions about pregnancy that practically all my patients have. One of the most common refrains among many couples visiting my clinic in Kolkata is that they are not being able to become parents, even after months of trying. The chances of conceiving a baby is less than 20% each time you have an intercourse – and couples need to have generous dollops of patience, which is likely to be rewarded over time. However, certain medical factors might also hamper your chances to get pregnant. In what follows, I have elaborated on nine such factors: Not syncing your physical unions with your ovulation cycle...

You should also help out your kid during her menarche, by following the tips I have shared below.   As a young girl reaches puberty, she starts experiencing several physical changes.

Stop Being Confused About These Gynaecological Issues!

  Summary: Do you have a young daughter, approaching the age of puberty? If yes, go through the following post – and get an idea of the gynaecological factors that you need to be aware of for her.   As a professional gynaecologist, I am often flustered by the sheer ineptitude and ignorance with which puberty is dealt with in young girls. Confusion among parents is, according to me, one of the chief causes for this – while young ladies also often feel shy to communicate with their parents (yes, even with their moms) about the internal and external changes happening to their body. In the current discourse, I have made an attempt to clear the air about some of the basic gynaecological issues that a young lady would experience during the period of puberty:           i.             Menstruation cycles – As a girl reaches 12-13 years of age, menarche (the onset of her menstruat...

  Summary: The journey towards becoming a proud mother was, on the whole, rather enjoyable for me. The third trimester was not all that comfortable though, and I have here written about some of the problems I faced during this period.   On the 18 th of June this year, I was blessed with a baby boy. The first feeling that I experienced on laying my eyes on him was not of joy though – it was a feeling of relief. During the third trimester of pregnancy (i.e., from around the 28 th week), I had started feeling several types of physical discomforts – and used to stay constantly worried about the well-being of the little one inside me. Thank goodness the delivery happened without a hitch, and I managed to rejoin office from October. I have here jotted down some of the principal physical problems that I faced during the last lap of pregnancy: Considerable increase in body weight – My gynecologist in Kolkata had said that my otherwise svelte figure would get some...
