Secondary Infertility: Why Second Pregnancies Can Be Harder & When to Seek Help - Dr Bushra Khan
Overview
Dr Bushra Khan, Infertility & IVF Specialist at Nova IVF Fertility, Kharadi, Pune, discusses secondary infertility—the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after having one or more children.
She highlights how age plays a crucial role in fertility for both partners, with fertility declining more rapidly after 35. For women, conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, tubal issues, or complications from previous C-sections may be contributing factors.
In men, age-related decline in sperm count and quality, as well as lifestyle habits or health conditions, can impact fertility.
Dr Khan stresses the importance of not delaying medical advice and explains the range of treatment options available, from ovulation induction to IVF. The video aims to spread awareness and guide couples through the steps they can take towards parenthood.
