Beginning a family is one of life's most meaningful journeys, but for many women and couples, it may also bring uncertainty, emotional challenges, and unexpected medical concerns. With over 13 years of experience in Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Reproductive Medicine, Dr. Viji Praveen has dedicated her career to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers women at every stage of life. From routine gynaecological consultations and high-risk pregnancy care to infertility evaluation and assisted reproductive treatments, she believes every patient deserves personalised care, honest guidance, and treatment tailored to their unique needs.
A Strong Foundation in Women's Healthcare
Dr. Viji has served as a Senior Consultant Gynaecologist and Infertility Specialist at Birla Fertility and IVF and previously worked at Westfort Hospital, Thrissur, while also contributing to medical education as an Assistant Professor at Ramaiah Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru. Her diverse experience allows her to combine academic excellence with practical clinical expertise.
Her background spans the full breadth of women's healthcare, from the teaching hospital environment where she refined her diagnostic and surgical skills to the dedicated fertility setting where she developed advanced expertise in reproductive medicine. This combination, academic rigour alongside hands-on clinical practice, is what allows her to offer patients in Thrissur a level of care that reflects both the latest evidence and years of real-world experience
Special Interest in Fertility Care
Her clinical interests include infertility evaluation, ovulation disorders, assisted reproductive techniques, intrauterine insemination (IUI), IVF counselling, pelvic ultrasonography, high-risk pregnancy management, and preventive women's healthcare. Having participated in more than 500 assisted reproductive technology cycles, she understands that every fertility journey is unique and requires an individualised approach. Fertility treatment is never one-size-fits-all, and Dr. Viji's commitment to understanding the specific circumstances of each couple means that no two treatment plans at her clinic are identical. Her experience across the full spectrum of fertility care, from ovulation induction through to IVF counselling and cycle monitoring, gives her the clinical breadth to guide couples through whichever pathway is most appropriate for their situation.
Compassion Beyond Clinical Treatment
For Dr. Viji, successful healthcare is built on trust, communication, and patient education. She believes women should understand their diagnosis, available treatment options, and expected outcomes before making healthcare decisions. Her consultations focus on listening carefully, addressing concerns patiently, and ensuring patients feel comfortable throughout their treatment journey.
Women coming to Dr. Viji often arrive with questions they have not felt comfortable asking elsewhere, concerns about fertility, menstrual health, or pregnancy that they have been managing silently. She creates a consultation environment where those conversations are not only welcomed but expected. Time is taken with every patient to explain what investigations have shown, what the options are, and what a realistic outcome looks like for their individual case. This approach to patient-centred communication is what her patients consistently describe as the most valuable part of their care.
Supporting Women Through Every Stage of Life
Whether helping a young woman manage menstrual disorders, guiding a couple through infertility treatment, or caring for a high-risk pregnancy, Dr. Viji remains committed to providing ethical, compassionate, and evidence-based care. Her goal is to improve reproductive health while supporting every woman with confidence, empathy, and clinical excellence.
Dr. Viji practises at Westfort Hospital, Thrissur, Raji Multi-speciality Hospital, Chembukkavu, Thrissur, and Birla Fertility and IVF (ARMC IVF), Thrissur, with outreach consultations at Elixir Clinic, Ayyanthole on Wednesdays.
