What is Reproductive Endocrinology?
Reproductive endocrinology is a specialised field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating hormonal disorders that affect the reproductive system. It explores the complex relationship between the endocrine system and reproductive function, providing vital insights and treatments for both men and women.

Dr. Vidya treats a Range of Hormonal-Related Reproductive Disorders including:
Menstrual Cycle Regulation
Understanding how the menstrual cycle functions and the hormonal changes that occur throughout it is a key focus of reproductive endocrinology. Irregular or absent periods (amenorrhea) may indicate underlying hormonal issues, which can often be managed with treatments such as hormone therapy to restore balance and regulate cycles.
Fertility & Infertility
A core aspect of reproductive endocrinology is the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect fertility in both men and women. This includes issues with ovulation, sperm production, or embryo implantation, as well as the use of assisted reproductive technologies such as In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) to support conception.
Reproductive Disorders
Reproductive endocrinologists specialise in diagnosing and managing hormonal disorders of the reproductive system, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian insufficiency, hypogonadism, and disorders of sexual development.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Reproductive endocrinologists also support patients during pregnancy and address post-birth concerns, such as breastfeeding difficulties and postnatal depression, which are often influenced by hormonal changes.
Male Reproductive Health
While reproductive endocrinology primarily focuses on female reproductive health, it also addresses male reproductive disorders such as hypogonadism, infertility, and hormone-related sexual dysfunction.
