Having a child is a profound joy, but for some couples, expanding their family can be unexpectedly challenging. Secondary infertility—the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after successfully having a child—is more common than you might think. At Isha Women’s Hospital, led by the renowned Dr Chinmay Pataki, we specialize in diagnosing and treating secondary infertility, helping families overcome hurdles and fulfil their dream of growing their families.

What is Secondary Infertility?

Secondary infertility refers to the condition where a couple, after previously achieving a successful pregnancy, faces difficulties conceiving again. It often comes as a shock, especially if the first pregnancy occurred naturally and without complications. Understanding the underlying causes is the first step toward finding solutions.

Common Causes of Secondary Infertility

1. Age-Related Fertility Decline
   • Women’s fertility naturally decreases with age, especially after 35, due to a decline in both the quality and quantity of eggs.
2. Male Factor Infertility
   • Sperm count, motility, or quality can diminish over time, even if the male partner had no previous issues.
3. Complications from Previous Pregnancy or Delivery
   • Scar tissue, infections, or other complications from earlier pregnancies can impact fertility.
4. Lifestyle Changes
   • Factors like significant weight changes, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or increased stress levels can reduce the chances of conception.
5. Emerging Medical Conditions
   • New or undiagnosed conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or thyroid imbalances can affect fertility.
6. Structural and Reproductive System Issues
   • Conditions like uterine fibroids, blocked fallopian tubes, or a low ovarian reserve may hinder conception.

At Isha Women’s Hospital, our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped to diagnose and address these challenges with advanced fertility care and personalized solutions.
