Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
In cases of low sperm count, patient undergoing ovarian stimulation and follicular monitoring and in unexplained infertility etc. the husband’s semen is processed and all healthy motile sperms are separated and suspended in nutrient media. This is then injected inside the uterus.
THERAPEUTIC DON0R INSEMINATION(TDI)
This procedure is for couples where the husband is Azoospermic (no sperms in the semen).
IVF (test tube baby)
The wife’s Oocytes are taken & fertilized with the husband’s sperm in the IVF lab. The resulting embryos are transferred to the wife’s uterus. Our success rate in this procedure is at par with global standards at 40%.
ICSI
In cases where the husband has only a few sperms or where previous fertilization failures in IVF are reported , we inject one sperm into the oocyte to ensure fertilization using state of the ART technology. The resulting embryos are transferred to the wife’s uterus.
Blastocyst transfer
The embryos are grown in the laboratory to day5 Blastocyst stage and then transferred to the wife’s uterus as in natural conception the embryo reaches the uterine cavity on day 5.For this we use an extended culture media.
Assisted Hatching
An opening is created in the outer covering of embryo to help in hatching in women over 40yrs of age and in cases of repeated IVF failures.
Egg Donation
In women unable to produce good eggs or in women with ovarian failure, we arrange for suitable donors.
Surrogacy
This is an option for women whose ovaries are functioning, but uterus is either absent or is unable to carry pregnancy to term. These couples can have their own embryo transferred to a healthy surrogate woman. |

Treatments for Infertility
We offer a wide variety of laboratory techniques to help patients achieve success with assisted reproduction. These include:
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) with standard insemination
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Blastocyst culture
- TESA, MESA, PESA and TESE for male factor
- cryopreservation

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) has a long history and is much less “hi-tech” than some other methods of assisted conception. IUI can help couples where the man has a low sperm count or poor motility (the ability of the sperm to move), as long as there are sufficient levels of healthy, motile sperm to make the treatment worthwhile. If not, IVF or ICSI will be more suitable. Because sperm is placed directly inside the woman, IUI can also help couples who are unable to have intercourse because of disability, injury, or difficulties such as premature ejaculation. It is also recommended for women with mild endometriosis, and is often used as the first line of assisted conception treatment for couples with “unexplained infertility”.
The development of the ovarian follicles is monitored with ultrasound .When ovulation has occurred, the male partner is asked to produce a semen sample. This sample is prepared in the laboratory, and is then introduced into the woman’s uterus (womb) by means of a fine catheter, with the aim of getting the sperm nearer to the egg. |
