About
Dr. Songphol Puttasiri is a reproductive medicine specialist at Legend Fertility Center (LRC) in Bangkok, holding an M.D. from Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Medicine (1999). His clinical reputation centers on difficult fertility cases — advanced maternal age, diminished ovarian reserve, and above all male-factor infertility — where he is known for systematic analysis of the male reproductive picture and protocol design built around it.
He trained through the Rajavithi Hospital system: OB-GYN residency and Thai Board certification (2003-2006), followed by a reproductive medicine fellowship at Chulalongkorn University’s OB-GYN department with lecturing duties at Rajavithi (2006-2008), and Thai Sub-board certification in reproductive medicine in 2010. Before LRC he worked at several of Thailand’s leading fertility hospitals, including Police General Hospital. Alongside LRC, he also sees patients at Gift Fertility Bangkok (IW Clinic), per that clinic’s team page.
Note on records: LRC’s official profile lists his degrees as above; the Gift Fertility page for the same physician shows a different education timeline (Mahidol M.D. 2008, Ramathibodi OB-GYN 2015). The two clinic sources conflict and remain unreconciled; this page follows LRC’s version as primary.
Clinical Expertise
- Comprehensive male infertility care: full diagnostic and treatment pathway for oligospermia, asthenospermia, and azoospermia, including hormonal, genetic, and anatomic workup
- Male microsurgery: varicocele repair and reconstructive procedures for male reproductive tract dysfunction
- IVF and ICSI: complete cycle management from stimulation through embryo transfer, with ICSI protocols tailored to severe male factor cases
- IUI: sperm preparation and insemination for mild-to-moderate male factor and unexplained infertility
- Couple-based combined workup: fertility assessment and treatment strategy designed for both partners together rather than the female pathway alone
Why Choose Dr. Songphol Puttasiri
Few Thai reproductive specialists hold equal depth in both halves of the infertility equation. Dr. Puttasiri’s Chulalongkorn education and Rajavithi residency give him standard OB-GYN and ART coverage, while his focused male-infertility practice — microsurgery, varicocele, severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia — means the male workup is not outsourced or approximated.
That combination matters because a large share of failed ART cycles trace to unaddressed male factors. Evaluating semen quality, surgical correctability, and ICSI strategy from one clinician’s perspective shortens the path from diagnosis to the right protocol.
His record of best-medical-teacher awards (Rajavithi OB-GYN department, 2013 and 2015) and outstanding-government-official honors (Rajavithi Hospital and the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of Medical Services, 2015) reflects a physician who has also trained the next generation of Thai reproductive specialists.
Professional Affiliations
Dr. Puttasiri is certified by the Thai Medical Council in obstetrics-gynecology (2006) with reproductive medicine sub-board certification (2010), and is a member of the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RTCOG), the Thai Reproductive Science and Medicine Society (TRSM), and the Menopause Society of Thailand.
Suitable For
- Male factor infertility: low count, poor motility, absence of sperm, or erectile dysfunction, evaluated and treated by a physician with microsurgical capability.
- Older couples trying to conceive: combined assessment that weighs both partners’ contributions before committing to a protocol.
- Diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency: difficult-case experience including post-menopausal-pathway consultations at LRC.
- Couples deciding between IUI and IVF/ICSI: individualized thresholds for escalating from insemination to ART, informed by the male workup.
