hello dr what is the fertility tests to be undertaken for a male for checking if there are any medical issues preventing a couple to conceive even after 4 years of marriage.

Ans: Fertility test for males is
Semen analysis with 3 days of abstinence which gives information of sperm count and motility.
If any issues with it then we do hormonal test like

Me and my wife, we are planning family for last 8 months. But wife is not getting pregnant. Shall we seek doctors advice? I am 32 and my wife is 30. We got married in Dec 2020. Please suggest.

Ans: 8 months is not a very long time and most likely you will conceive naturally. However, it is a good idea to see a fertility specialist or a OBGYN once and get evaluated to ensure you are not missing anything which will need attention later. There is no need to jump to fertility procedures but being aware that everything is normal would be very reassuring and encourage you try naturally in a more stress free way. All the best!

Hi Doctor, I am Neha, 34 years old, a marketing professional from Mumbai. My job can be pretty stressful at times. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past three years without success. Recently, my gynecologist suggested we consider IVF. While I’m open to the idea, I’m also anxious about what lies ahead. Could you please explain what tests and evaluations are required before starting the IVF process? I want to know if these tests can predict the chances of success. Also, considering my hectic work schedule, should I make any lifestyle changes to improve our odds?

Ans: Hello Neha considering you are 34 years, and trying to conceive since 3 years
First of all, you both need to undergo blood test
1) Neha:
CBC, Blood Sugars, Vit B12, Vit D, Liver and Kidney screening, hormonal (TSH AND PROLACTIN), viral markers test and most important AMH LEVEL to know ovarian reserve.
Usg pelvis tp rule out fibroids, ovarian cyst
2) Husband:
Blood Sugars
Semen analysis to know about sperm count, motility.
These tests can give an idea about both. Fertility level and any particular supplements needed and chances of successful pregnancy.
Considering hectic lifestyle certain measures to be taken
1) stress management: yoga, walks, exercise, meditation
2) adequate sleep at least 6 to 7 hours
3) Adequate exercise and walks which releases endorphins , dopamine and good hormones needed for hormone circulation.
4) Good nutrition:
Contains antioxidants
Vit B6, Vit B12, Omega 3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, Vit D, green veggies, fruits, eggs, chicken for protein
5) your gynec will advise certain supplements to be taken for additional supplements.

Ans: it is great you know you need to work on yourself - join public speaking sessions, work on your confidence , know that saying a no is not being rude - this will require you to do a lot of reflection and talking to yourself - all the best.

Hi Sir, My Son is studying in 11th std with PCMCs and preparing both for NATA and CET. He was an average student in tenth scoring 55%, we are hoping for better performance in his 12th board. Currently we are staying in Bangalore. We need your suggestion in choosing between BArch or BE (Civil/Mech/Electrical). Which one will be better for him in difficulty level, fee structure, future job prospects and if he wants to Masters, whether he can continue in India or abroad. If abroad which countries or university are good for him for masters. Thank you

Ans: In B.Arch difficulty level is less but he must be good in drawing. A candidate who is bad in drawing can't be an Architect, even if he becomes he will fail in professional life. BE (Civil/Mech/Electrical) needs good knowledge of Maths and Physics. From his 10th score it seems to be he is an below average student. Fee structure is mostly same in both. For Masters we can think afterwards, no question of long term planning. In abroad always USA is the best for Engineering. Best of luck. Regards.

Ans: Ask him the reason or asking this question, what is his motive to ask this question. Your response to him is as it should be, but learn why did he ask you the question.

It is ok to ask questions, doing this will help you give apt responses. It also shows your investment in a discussion as this.

Im afarid to express my love to a women. She is very good looking and much more than that she had a good character. But the main problem arises is she is 171cm and I'm 165cm. I'm afraid may be I will get rejected. I love her so much. Should i I leave her and move on. And one thing also i don't even talk to her, I'm afraid to talk. Can you give some tips to talking also

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand your concern but how will you know whether height is an issue for her until you go ahead and speak to her? If you are worried about confessing your feelings for her directly, it's best you take things slow. Anyways, people are more likely to take such confessions on a positive note if they know the person.

You can start with a Hi, followed by letting her know that you have seen her around quite a few times. You can ask her what she does, and other general questions. Don't do it all in a single day; try building rapport slowly. This way you won't be putting too much pressure on yourself or on her.

Best Wishes.
