Infertility is on the rise.
Infertility or better say it subfertility, is not just a medical problem and you are probably one of the seven couples who unfortunately fall in this category.
Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system, in either a male or a female, that inhibits the ability to conceive and deliver a child. Infertility is the inability to conceive after one year of trying with unprotected intercourse for couples in which the female is under 35 and six months of trying for couples in which the female is over 35.
In fact, in nearly 30% of cases, the cause is attributed to the female, in 30% the cause is attributed to the male, in 30% the cause is attributed to both and in 10% of cases the cause is unknown.
Once the cause of infertility has been determined, a plan can be customized for the patient to fit their unique situation and move them along on the path to conceiving a child. In fact, nearly 90% of infertility cases are treatable with medical therapies such as drug treatment, surgical repair of reproductive organs and assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization.
THE EXPERTS WHO CARE
GENESIS FERTILITY & SURGICAL CENTER
Dr. Lakhvinder Singh, Fertility enhancing Laparoscopic Surgeon
For those who’ve been enduring the pain of being a childless couple for years, and have now lost all hopes of having a baby of their own Doctor Lakhvinder Singh comes as a savior! Running his state-of-the-art center in Jalandhar called Genesis Fertility & Surgical Center, Dr. Lakhvinder along with his wife, Dr. Sonia (a Gynaecologist and IVF specialist) has become the most trusted physicians in the region providing personalized and quality fertility care. As one of the longest standing fertility centers in Punjab, the dedicated staff at Genesis has helped thousands of couples realize their dreams of creating a family. “Dealing with infertility can be very stressful for the couple, so besides striving to provide the best treatment, we also pledge to be by the patient’s side at every step of the way on their journey to start a family,” says Dr. Lakhvinder, a dynamic doctor who specializes in laparoscopic infertility surgeries and has been visiting about 20 centres all over the North India to provide his expert services. “I am very passionate about my work and I commit to giving my best and that starts with a cohesive team that’s built on long-lasting relationships with our patients and each other. Many of our team members have been with us for more than 10 years.
We focus on each patients specific diagnosis and offer a holistic approach to fertility treatment. The Genesis Center evaluates the treatment plan that helps one have a baby, whether through IVF or a less aggressive treatment coupled with lifestyle changes,” he explains. Working on the principles of ethics and integrity, Doctor Lakhvinder’s center in Jalandhar provides all procedures meant for human infertility are available under one roof. The setup is the state-of-art center dedicated to the treatment of human infertility. Over the past five years, we have made our presence felt across the globe by giving children more than a thousand couples. Our patients apart from our homeland, India, come from USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, UK, as well as the neighboring countries as Pakistan and Bangladesh.” As Dr. Lakhvinder provides his services in not just Jalandhar, but also cities like Jammu, Agra, Lucknow, Saharanpur — in fact, all over North India — his hectic schedule hardly gives him any time for personal self. However, the lively doctor manages to pursue one unique hobby of his — maintaining an anelectronic library of more than 10,000 medical books! ‘Jointly’ running — Dr. Manish Bansal (Orthopaedic Surgeon) Having done his MBBS from the Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi — the same institution from where Dr. Lakhvinder graduated, Dr. Bansal is an Orthopaedic surgeon with his clinical practice emphasizing shoulder, elbow, and knee surgery.
Dr. Lakhvinder and I belong to the same city and are like-minded individuals. So it was the most logical step for me to join hands with him. I spent 8 years in the U.K. & Australia doing higher training & completed international fellowships concentrating exclusively on Arthroscopy, Sports Injuries & Joint Replacements. After my return, I am providing services at not just Genesis, but also serving as a faculty on arthroscopy courses and workshops across the country. I also provide my services at Fortis Hospital, Mohali,” says the spirited and full-of-life doctor, who believes in maintaining a fine balance between work and personal life. When asked what he likes the most about his work, he says, “I enjoy the many facets of my job. The greatest part of my job is the joy of seeing a patient transition from a painful and inactive state to a pain-free active individual because of the care they received. That can be achieved with or without surgery. Seeing the patients return to their normal routine after a shoulder, elbow, or knee reconstruction is incredibly gratifying.” Apart from his hospital commitments, Dr. Bansal also serves as a sports injuries consultant to elite sports people from various sports.
