Dr. Sakshi Tandon: Gynaecologist & IVF Doctor in Kanpur

Medically reviewed by Dr. Sakshi Tandon · Updated 5 Oct 2026

Meet Dr. Sakshi Tandon, leading gynaecologist and fertility doctor in Kanpur at PRAVI IVF. Learn how personalized, ethical care can guide your path to parenthood.

When you are trying to conceive and months turn into years, the journey can feel deeply lonely. Family gatherings start bringing uncomfortable questions, well-meaning relatives offer unsolicited advice, and every negative pregnancy test brings a quiet wave of grief. In these moments, you do not just need a doctor who looks at lab sheets; you need a doctor who listens to your story with genuine warmth and patience.

At PRAVI IVF & Fertility Centre in Kanpur, Dr. Sakshi Tandon offers that exact balance of medical expertise and deep empathy. As an experienced gynaecologist and fertility specialist, she believes that every couple’s path to parenthood is distinct. Fertility care should never feel rushed or mechanical. It requires an honest, step-by-step approach where you are treated as a partner in your own healthcare decisions.

Meet Dr. Sakshi Tandon: Compassionate Care in Kanpur

Dr. Sakshi Tandon has earned a reputation across Uttar Pradesh for her transparent, patient-centric approach to reproductive health. She understands the social and emotional nuances couples face in Kanpur. For many couples, visiting a fertility clinic carries anxiety and unspoken hesitation. Dr. Tandon makes it her primary goal to break that stigma the moment you sit down in her consultation room.

Her clinical philosophy centers on conservative, evidence-based management. She does not recommend advanced procedures right away if simpler, less invasive solutions can help you conceive. By taking the time to review your medical history, menstrual cycle patterns, and past attempts, she works to find the real root cause behind the delay.

Patients often share that talking to Dr. Sakshi feels like confiding in a trusted sister who happens to be an expert in reproductive medicine. Whether dealing with irregular periods, pelvic pain, or unexplained fertility challenges, her calm reassurance helps replace fear with clear, actionable knowledge.

The PRAVI IVF Philosophy: Teamwork Behind Every Dream

Great fertility outcomes are never the result of a single person working alone. At PRAVI IVF, Dr. Sakshi Tandon works alongside some of the country’s most respected fertility leaders. The medical team is spearheaded by Medical Director Dr. Monica Sachdeva, who brings over 18 years of specialized experience in IVF and reproductive medicine.

The clinical backbone also includes Dr. Rit Shukla, our Chief Embryologist with a decade of expertise managing intricate embryology laboratory environments. Precision in the lab is just as vital as clinical care in the clinic. In addition, Dr. Ankita (MRCOG, Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine, Diploma in Minimal Access Surgery) adds more than 6 years of focused surgical and fertility expertise to our clinical board.

Together, this multidisciplinary team meets regularly to review complex cases. When you consult Dr. Sakshi Tandon at our Kanpur centres, your case benefits from the collective clinical insight of senior reproductive specialists, surgeons, and embryologists.

Comprehensive Gynaecological and Reproductive Services

Fertility issues rarely exist in a silo. Often, they stem from underlying gynaecological conditions that have gone unmanaged for years. Dr. Sakshi Tandon provides full-spectrum care, ensuring your reproductive health is optimized before you begin any conception protocols.

1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) & Ovulatory Disorders

PCOS is one of the leading reasons women struggle to become pregnant. It causes irregular periods, hormonal imbalances, and unpredictable ovulation. According to global health data from the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of people worldwide experience infertility, with ovulatory disorders representing a significant portion of female-factor cases. Dr. Tandon uses lifestyle modifications, targeted medication, and precise follicular monitoring to help restore natural ovulation whenever possible.

2. Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Care

Severe period pain, painful intercourse, and chronic pelvic discomfort are not things you simply have to endure. These symptoms often point to endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Dr. Tandon works closely with our surgical specialists to diagnose and manage endometriosis through medical therapy or minimally invasive laparoscopy, protecting your ovarian reserve along the way.

3. Tubal and Uterine Factor Evaluation

Blocked fallopian tubes or uterine anomalies like polyps, fibroids, or intrauterine adhesions can physically prevent an egg and sperm from meeting or an embryo from implanting. Through diagnostic hysteroscopy and saline infusion sonography, Dr. Tandon examines the uterine cavity thoroughly so no hidden barrier is overlooked.

4. Endocrine Support: Thyroid & Prolactin Management

Hormones work like an orchestra; if one instrument is off, the whole song is disrupted. Even slight variations in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) can prevent successful embryo implantation. You can learn more about how we address these hormonal links in our guide on Thyroid & Infertility Treatment in Kanpur.

Fertility Treatments Guided by Dr. Sakshi Tandon

When natural conception needs medical support, Dr. Sakshi Tandon guides you through progressive treatment options. She explains the purpose, timeline, and science behind each step so you never feel out of the loop.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

For couples with mild male factor issues, unexplained delays, or cervical mucus concerns, IUI is often a logical first step. It is a quick, minimally invasive procedure where washed, concentrated sperm is placed directly inside the uterus during natural or stimulated ovulation. Explore our dedicated page on IUI in Kanpur to see if this treatment aligns with your medical profile.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and ICSI

If fallopian tubes are blocked, ovarian reserve is diminished, or previous treatments have not succeeded, IVF offers a dependable path forward. In IVF, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and combined with sperm in our embryology lab. For severe male-factor infertility, Dr. Tandon utilizes Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg to ensure fertilization.

Advanced Embryo Culture & Blastocyst Transfer

Rather than transferring embryos on day 2 or 3, our lab specializes in growing embryos to day 5 or 6, known as the blastocyst stage. Blastocysts have a higher developmental potential, allowing Dr. Tandon to transfer fewer embryos while maintaining optimal outcomes. Read our breakdown of Blastocyst Transfer in Kanpur to understand how extended culture works.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)

For couples facing recurrent pregnancy loss, advanced maternal age, or repeated unexplained implantation failures, PGT-A allows embryologists to test embryos for chromosomal balance before transfer. This reduces the risk of miscarriage and improves the chance of a healthy, full-term delivery.

Fertility Preservation: Egg, Sperm, and Embryo Freezing

Whether you need to delay childbearing for personal reasons or are facing medical treatments like chemotherapy, cryopreservation preserves your reproductive cells at their current biological age using advanced vitrification techniques.

Male Infertility Solutions: TESA and PESA

Infertility affects men and women equally. For men with low or absent sperm counts in their ejaculate (azoospermia), our clinic provides surgical sperm retrieval techniques like Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) and Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) to make biological fatherhood possible.

Comparing Fertility Treatment Approaches

To help you understand the common options Dr. Sakshi Tandon discusses during consultations, review this simplified comparison table:

Treatment Common Indications Invasiveness Key Benefit
Ovulation Induction & Timed Intercourse Irregular cycles, mild PCOS, young couples starting out Non-invasive Natural conception supported by precise timing
IUI Mild male factor, cervical hostility, unexplained infertility Low (similar to a pap smear) Bypasses cervix; delivers concentrated sperm near tubes
IVF / ICSI Blocked tubes, low ovarian reserve, severe male factor Moderate (minor day-care egg retrieval) Overcomes fertilization barriers in a controlled lab
Blastocyst Transfer + PGT-A Recurrent loss, advanced maternal age, past IVF failures Laboratory-based evaluation Identifies chromosomally healthy embryos before transfer

What to Expect at Your First Consultation

Your first appointment with Dr. Sakshi Tandon is designed to be calm and unhurried. You do not need to worry about being judged or pushed into immediate treatments. Instead, this session is about gathering facts and getting to know you as a couple.

During the visit, Dr. Tandon will:

  • Review all your previous medical reports, blood tests, and scan images.
  • Take a thorough history of your menstrual cycles, surgical history, and family background.
  • Perform a gentle ultrasound (if needed) to assess your antral follicle count and uterine cavity.
  • Discuss your partner’s semen analysis parameters and lifestyle factors.
  • Provide a clear, step-by-step diagnostic roadmap before suggesting any treatment.

Honest Discussions Around Success Factors and Costs

One of the hardest aspects of fertility treatment is dealing with exaggerated promises. You might have seen clinics advertising impossible success percentages. Dr. Sakshi Tandon and the entire PRAVI team reject this misleading practice.

In reality, fertility outcomes depend on several biological variables:

  • Maternal age and the biological quality of eggs.
  • Sperm DNA fragmentation and baseline semen health.
  • The receptivity and lining thickness of the uterine wall.
  • The technological standards of the embryology laboratory.
  • Underlying systemic conditions such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or thyroid disease.

While PRAVI IVF maintains a high success rate thanks to state-of-the-art cleanroom labs and blastocyst culture, Dr. Tandon will give you an honest appraisal of your individual prognosis. Authoritative medical organizations like the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) emphasize that transparency regarding individual prognosis is the cornerstone of ethical fertility medicine.

Cost is another significant concern for families. We do not provide generic, misleading package quotes over the phone because no two treatments are identical. Some couples only need simple medication and cycle tracking, while others require advanced ICSI with genetic testing. Following your initial consultation, our team shares a completely transparent, itemized written estimate. There are no hidden fees, unexpected lab add-ons, or surprise charges midway through your cycle.

Strict Compliance with Indian ART Regulations

All clinical protocols at PRAVI IVF strictly adhere to the guidelines set by the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act. This Indian law protects patient rights, guarantees safety standards, regulates donor programmes, and oversees surrogacy procedures with rigorous ethical checks. You can learn more about these national standards directly through the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act documentation.

Under Dr. Sakshi Tandon’s supervision, every step—from consent forms to gamete identification—is documented with absolute security and legal compliance. You can focus on your health knowing that your family’s safety and legal security are completely protected.

Two Convenient Centres in Kanpur

Consistency is vital during fertility care. Cycle monitoring requires regular morning scans and blood tests, which can be exhausting if you have to travel long distances through traffic. To make your treatment stress-free, PRAVI IVF operates two accessible centres in Kanpur:

  • Swaroop Nagar Centre: Convenient for families residing in central and northern parts of the city.
  • Shardha Nagar Centre: Easily accessible for patients located in southern and western neighborhoods.

For our outstation patients or those who travel frequently to the capital, PRAVI also offers tertiary fertility services at our Delhi facility: Pravi Global IVF Polyclinic, located at 41 Lajpat Nagar. Diagnostic records and treatment histories are shared across our network, giving you seamless continuity of care.

Taking the First Step Together

Facing fertility hurdles can be physically tiring and emotionally draining. But you do not have to carry this burden in silence. With the right clinical diagnosis, advanced lab technology, and a compassionate doctor by your side, the path toward holding your baby becomes clearer and much more hopeful.
