Returning Home After Heart Transplant: How to Manage Long-Distance Follow-Up
10 minutes
For 3 to 4 months, your life in India has revolved around your transplant team. You know the nurses by name. Your surgeon is just down the hall. You feel safe. Then, the day comes to fly home. While going home is a joy, many patients describe a sudden panic: "Who will look after my heart now?" "What if my local doctor doesn't know my case?" "Is follow-up care even available?" The answer is YES. You are not being "abandoned"; you are being "transferred." Modern transplant care is global. It operates on a "Shared Care Model"—a structured partnership between your operating surgeon in India and your local cardiologist back home. At Karetrip, we specialise in building this bridge so you never feel alone.

How long do international patients stay in India after a heart transplant?
10 minutes
If you are travelling to India for a heart transplant, you aren't just packing for a surgery—you are packing for a season of your life. Unlike a bypass or stent procedure, where you might fly home in two weeks, a Heart Transplant requires a much longer commitment. The surgery itself takes hours, but ensuring your body accepts the new organ takes months. For most international patients, the total stay in India is approximately 3 to 4 months. Why so long? It isn't just about healing the incision. It is about Immunosuppression and Rejection Monitoring. Your new heart is a stranger to your body, and the first 90 days are the critical "danger zone" where rejection is most likely to happen. At Karetrip, we help you plan for this long-haul journey. Here is a breakdown of your timeline from landing to takeoff.

Age limit for heart transplant: what patients should know
10 minutes
One of the first questions families ask when considering a transplant is: "Am I too old for this?" It is a valid fear. For decades, the medical community viewed age as a strict barrier. Many programs automatically turned away patients over the age of 65.

What happens if heart failure treatment stops working?
10 minutes
Living with heart failure is often about balance. You take your pills, watch your salt intake, and monitor your weight. For months or even years, this routine works. You feel stable. But heart failure is a progressive condition. There may come a time when the medications that are used to keep you active start losing their effect. You might feel tired climbing stairs again, or notice the swelling returning to your ankles despite taking diuretics.

Failed IVF Cycle: Why It Happens and What to Do Next
10 minutes
Seeing a negative result after weeks of injections, appointments, and hope is one of the hardest moments in the fertility journey. It feels like grief. You might feel angry, betrayed by your body, or scared that it will never happen. First, take a deep breath. You did nothing wrong. Did you drink that one cup of coffee? Did you walk too fast? No. These things do not cause IVF failure. The reality is that human reproduction is complex. Even in nature, perfectly healthy couples only have a 20-25% chance of conceiving each month. IVF improves these odds, but it rarely guarantees 100% success on the first try. At Karetrip, we know that a failed cycle is not a full stop—it is a detour. This guide explains the medical reasons why it might have happened and how doctors use this information to make the next cycle successful.

Unexplained Infertility: When Every Test is Normal, but You Still Can't Conceive
10 minutes
It is the most confusing phrase a doctor can say to a couple trying for a baby: "Everything looks normal." Your hormones are balanced. Your tubes are open. His sperm count is perfect. You are doing everything right—timing, diet, supplements. Yet, month after month, the test is negative. This is the reality of Unexplained Infertility, a diagnosis that affects approximately 15% to 30% of couples seeking help. Unlike a clear problem like "blocked tubes" or "low sperm count," unexplained infertility feels like fighting a ghost. You don't know what to fix because you don't know what is broken. At Karetrip, we understand that "Unexplained" does not mean "Imagined." It simply means the cause is too subtle for standard tests to see. This guide digs deeper into what might be happening and how you can move forward.

Male Infertility & IVF: Why It’s Not Just a Woman’s Journey
10 minutes
When a couple walks into a fertility clinic, the focus usually shifts immediately to the woman. Are her tubes open? How is her egg reserve? Is her uterus healthy? The man is often just asked to "provide a sample" and wait in the lobby. This creates a massive misconception: that infertility is a "woman’s problem." The reality, however, is very different. Globally, Male factor infertility is involved in about 40–50% of infertility cases, either alone or along with female factors. **At Karetrip**, we believe it takes two to make a baby. Understanding the male side of the equation is not just about fairness—it is often the missing key to a successful pregnancy. This guide explains why men are just as important in the IVF process and the advanced technologies that are helping men become fathers against the odds.
