Mother’s Day: Insights from gynecologists and fertility experts

1. Dr. Mukesh Bavishi, Gynecologist, Fertility Specialist, Gynecologist Cancer Surgeon and Cosmetic Surgeon for Women. Best Gynecological Surgeons of India 2013 to 2022, Everon Hospital Naranpura, Ahmedabad

I was very fond of my mother and then my journey started by going to an Army school away from my parents. Joined Medicine, did Gynecology, Advanced Diploma from German University Kiel in 4 subjects including Artificial Reproductive Technology in Women, Gynecological Oncology, Ultrasound and Aesthetic Surgery. I’ve always joked that I’m dealing with two Nancys – pregnancy and lethality. While our new technologies in fertility treatment have been extremely successful – they are popular at home and abroad because these technologies are simple, affordable and patient friendly. Most women can get pregnant without IVF, regardless of their age. We have treated IVF failures. Most of the women are now getting pregnant at home after these treatments. Our Mother’s Day celebration took place 2 months ago when we treated a woman suffering from pregnancy and breast cancer together. No one was willing to treat her due to her 29-week pregnancy and second-stage breast cancer. Some of the consultants had filmy dialogues like “We can save the mother or the child”. We examined her carefully and performed a C-section and operated on her breast cancer in the same session. She was discharged from the hospital within 2 days and was able to feed her baby from the other breast. Such difference making surgeries give us great satisfaction. happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! Ever since I became a gynecologist, I have been improving my skills as a fertility specialist. This is because the field of fertility treatments is constantly expanding. We can provide excellent and quick results to women wishing to have children. We have new technologies which are patient friendly and the number of hospital visits has reduced significantly. It takes just two days for the basic tests to be completed and then we focus on what is called ‘pregnancy at home’. You do not need to undergo IUI or IVF. It is heartening that with the aggressive approach that my husband Dr. Mukesh Bavishi and I adopt, we get results in 1 to 3 months in most cases. We have patients of all ages from all states and some countries like USA, UK, East Africa etc. A woman is beautiful but a pregnant mother is the most beautiful of them all. We always tell them, “When you conceive with our treatment, we are as happy as you and your family are.”

As a gynecologist specializing in the treatment of infertility, Mother’s Day holds a special significance for me. It’s a day when I see the diverse spectrum of emotions experienced by my patients and colleagues alike. Each story is unique, filled with hope, resilience and sometimes heartache. Mother’s Day is not just about celebrating mothers who cradle their children in their arms; It is also about acknowledging the strength of those who hold their dreams in their hearts.

Mother’s Day is a celebration of a woman’s power to give life and keep our species alive. When a baby is born two people start a new life, the baby and the mother, for whom delivery is like a whole new life! The sacrifices a woman makes throughout her lifetime as a mother are immense. But we must ensure that he never compromises or sacrifices his health. It is essential to continue a healthy routine of good diet, light exercise and some exposure to the sun during anticipated and actual motherhood. It is also important to note that a woman should not delay pregnancy and childbirth as fertility is limited and decreases with increasing age. Healthy women create healthy societies!
