Reproductive Endocrinology

---

Reproductive endocrinology is actually a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynaecology which involves surgical treatment of infertility in both women as well as men. This branch of medicine addresses the hormonal imbalances that give rise to infertility. Many a times, it happens infertility occurs as a result of only hormonal problems in both females and males. This is the exact situation where KARE comes to the rescue of the couples. The highly qualified and trained endocrinologists at KARE make sure to treat hormonal infertility in the most effective way so that couples can enjoy parenthood. The primary focus of endocrinology is on the hormones as well as the glands and tissues that produce them so that the treatment so offered can give positive results. There are more than about 50 hormones in the body of the human beings which exist in very small amounts but still can have a great impact on the functions of the body and its development.
