 ART- INTRODUCTION


Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is a wide range of medical procedures designed to aid individuals and couples in achieving pregnancy when natural conception is not possible or has failed. It involves the manipulation of human gametes (oocytes and sperm) and embryos outside the body.

Robert G. Edwards is known as the pioneer of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), the cornerstone of modern ART.

In 1978 he achieved the world’s first successful IVF birth, Louise Brown, in the United Kingdom

Since the birth of the first “test-tube baby” in 1978, ART has become an integral component of modern reproductive medicine.


 ART is commonly indicated in cases of tubal factor, severe male factor, ovulatory disorders, endometriosis, unexplained infertility and age-related decline in  fertility it has a significant role in fertility preservation for patients undergoing gonadotoxic treatments such as chemotherapy

The most widely practiced form of ART is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and other ART procedures include frozen embryo transfer (FET), donor gamete programs and gestational surrogacy.

Success rates are highly dependent on maternal age, underlying medical conditions and treatment protocols.

ART procedures are physically demanding, emotionally stressful and financially burdensome, due to high costs and inadequate insurance coverage.

ART is associated with several limitations and challenges as ethical, legal and social concerns such as embryo disposition, donor anonymity and surrogacy regulations

In conclusion, Assisted Reproductive Technology has greatly improved the ability to treat infertility and couples to achieve pregnancy. By using medical and laboratory techniques, ART overcomes many barriers to natural conception. Although it has certain limitations and ethical considerations, ART continues to advance and remains an important option for building families worldwide.

Cervical Cancer Awareness Month – January 2026


Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 

Cervical Cancer Awareness Month is observed every January by the World Health Organization (WHO) to emphasize

 prevention, early detection and education. Cervical cancer is largely preventable and highly treatable when diagnosed 

at an early stage through regular screening and HPV Vaccination.


  Theme 2026 - PREVENTION • EARLY DETECTION • COLLECTIVE ACTION

  

   A Powerful Preventive Tool- HPV Vaccination,

  • HPV vaccination protects against high-risk HPV types that cause most cervical cancers
  • Recommended for girls aged 11–12 years
  • Can be given starting from 9 years
  • Recommended for all females up to 26 years if not vaccinated earlier
  • Women aged 27–45 years may consider vaccination after consultation with a Gynaecologist
  • HPV vaccination prevents new infections but does not treat existing HPV infections
  • Screening remains essential even after vaccination.
   Who Should Get Screened?

      Indian women can significantly reduce their risk of cervical cancer by regular screening starting at the age of 21.

   Recommended Screening Guidelines

    Age 21–29

    Pap Smear Test

    If normal → Repeat every 3 years

    Age 30–65

   HPV Test alone 5 years
                 OR

   HPV Test + Pap Smear (Co-testing) 5 years
                 OR

   Pap Smear alone 3 years

 

  Common Screening Tests

   HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Test

   Pap Smear Test


 

 NO TOBACCO DAY

No Tobacco Day: 
The Habit You Think You Control, May Already Be Controlling You
Every year on May 31st, the world observes World No Tobacco Day - a reminder of the damage tobacco quietly causes in millions of lives. As a family physician, I have spoken to patients with chronic coughs, breathlessness, heart disease, oral ulcers, anxiety, sleep problems, infertility, and even cancer. Many of them never imagined tobacco would become a part of their story.Smoking rarely begins with addiction. It begins with curiosity. Stress. Peer pressure. Most smokers remember the first cigarette. Very few remember the day they lost control over it.One of the biggest myths people believe is: “I can stop whenever I want.”But nicotine is designed to make stopping difficult. It changes the brain’s reward system, creating temporary relief that slowly turns into dependence. Over time, the cigarette stops giving pleasure - it simply prevents discomfort.The good news is this: prevention is still far easier than quitting after years of addiction.So how do we prevent smoking before it starts - especially among young people?

Prevention starts at home:
Children and teenagers learn more from observation than advice. When smoking is normalized at home, socially, or through media, it begins to seem harmless or even “cool.”
Parents and families play a major role in prevention:
Avoid smoking around children 
Speak openly about the health risks of tobacco 
Avoid treating smoking as a harmless phase 
Encourage healthy ways to handle stress and emotions
Fear-based warnings alone are often not enough. People respond better when they understand what tobacco steals from daily life — stamina, sleep quality, skin health, fertility, money, confidence, and years of healthy living.
Stress Is Real - But Tobacco Is Not a Solution
Many people begin smoking during periods of stress, anxiety, or emotional pressure. Cigarettes may create temporary relief, but that relief is short-lived and quickly becomes dependence.
Healthier coping mechanisms can reduce stress without harming the body:
Regular physical activity 
Adequate sleep 
Deep breathing or mindfulness exercises 
Spending time with supportive people 
Hobbies and creative outlets
Quitting Is Difficult - But Never Impossible
Many people attempt to quit several times before succeeding permanently. That does not mean failure — it means the brain is learning to break dependence. 
Medical support, counselling, nicotine replacement therapy, and family encouragement can make a significant difference.
Many smokers fear that the damage is already done. But the body has an incredible ability to recover once tobacco use stops. Here’s what happens after quitting: 
  •     20 minutes: Heart rate and blood pressure begin to improve 20 minutes: Heart rate and blood pressure begin to improve 20 minutes: Heart rate and blood pressure begin to improve 
  • 24 hours: Carbon monoxide levels in the blood start reducing 
  • 2–12 weeks: Blood circulation and lung function improve 
  • 1–9 months: Coughing and breathlessness gradually reduce 
  • 1 year: Risk of heart disease becomes nearly half that of a smoker 
  • 5 years and beyond: Risk of stroke and several cancers continue to decrease 
Every smoke-free day matters. Even people who have smoked for years can experience major health benefits after quitting.
A Message on  This No Tobacco Day
This May 31st, whether you are a parent, student, smoker, or someone trying to quit, remember — prevention begins with awareness, conversation, and small daily choices.
Sometimes the most powerful decision is not quitting after addiction begins.
It is never giving tobacco control in the first place.
