Meera, a 32-year-old patient with primary infertility, visits a fertility clinic asking for a “test tube baby.” As gynecologists, we frequently encounter this term, yet it often reflects cultural perception rather than medical accuracy. While it has captured public imagination for decades, the science behind it is rooted in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)...

Infertility is an increasing global health concern, with nearly one in six couples experiencing difficulties in conceiving. Among the various treatment strategies, controlled ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins continues to be a cornerstone in modern reproductive medicine. By stimulating follicular development and ovulation, gonadotropins enhance the chances of conception, particularly in women with anovulation or when ovulation induction cannot be achieved with less complex methods,their role has evolved significantly over the years, supported by advances in drug formulations and improved monitoring protocols that aim to maximise efficacy while minimising risks....

The journey from infertility to parenthood is one of science, precision, and compassion. For clinicians, guiding patients through this process requires not just technical expertise but also a holistic understanding of each step in assisted reproductive technology (ART). At Milann Infertility Centre, where thousands of such journeys begin, we combine evidence-based practice with patient-centered care.

So, what does it take to move from oocyte retrieval to a successful pregnancy? Let’s walk through the process....

Reproductive medicine has witnessed remarkable technological progress over the past few decades. From in vitro fertilization (IVF) to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), these innovations have transformed infertility care. Among these, embryo biopsy stands out as one of the most promising tools, offering clinicians and patients a glimpse into the genetic health of embryos and paving the way for more personalized, precise fertility management.

What is Embryo Biopsy?

Embryo biopsy refers to the removal of one or more cells from an embryo during its preimplantation development...

Obesity has become one of the most pressing public health issues worldwide—and India is catching up fast. What’s even more concerning is the increasing rate of obesity among children and teenagers. A recent survey conducted at Milann revealed that out of 1,000 school-aged children (11–18 years), 15% were classified as obese and 20% as overweight. Most of these cases were seen in urban, high-income families, where reduced physical activity, academic stress, frequent snacking, and excessive junk food consumption were major contributors.

In the fast-evolving field of reproductive medicine, staying ahead requires more than just knowledge—it demands hands-on skills, ethical clarity, and adaptability. Milann Academy, with over 30 years of academic excellence, offers tiered, immersive, and flexible training programs that transform clinicians and embryologists into confident, future-ready professionals.

What Makes Milann Academy Unique

• Legacy of Excellence: Built on a strong foundation of evidence-based reproductive education and recognized by leading universities and the National Board of Examinations.

Men with poor semen analyses whose conditions are not treatable or unexplained may still have the option of using advanced reproductive techniques to achieve a pregnancy. Even those men with no sperm in the ejaculate are able to have some living sperm procured from them through surgical methods and achieve a pregnancy using the conventional technique of ICSI or the more advanced IMSI in which the digitally enhanced, magnified images of the sperm allow the embryologist to detect any structural alterations and abnormality that are otherwise hard to locate with conventional methods.
