Treatments
Every path to parenthood, explained and expertly delivered
From a first fertility evaluation to advanced IVF and ICSI — eight core treatment programmes, each personalised by a senior specialist and delivered with our in-house embryology laboratory.
Treatment 01
IVF — In Vitro Fertilisation
The most effective assisted-reproduction treatment, personalised to your ovarian reserve and history.
4–6 weeks
Blocked tubes, low reserve, failed IUI
Short sedation for retrieval
Day care only
What it is
In IVF, eggs are retrieved after a carefully monitored stimulation phase and fertilised with sperm in our in-house embryology laboratory. The healthiest embryo is transferred to the uterus — often at the blastocyst stage, when implantation potential is clearest.
The Sandiya approach
- Stimulation protocol chosen for your AMH, antral follicle count, and previous cycle response — never one-size-fits-all.
- Blastocyst culture and vitrification (fast freezing) as standard, so no viable embryo is wasted.
- Single-embryo transfer preferred wherever clinically appropriate, to protect mother and baby from multiple-pregnancy risks.
- Every cycle reviewed by the same senior specialist from stimulation to pregnancy test.
Treatment 02
ICSI — Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Precision fertilisation for male-factor infertility — one healthy sperm, injected directly into each mature egg.
IVF cycle
Male-factor infertility
Micromanipulation
Day 1 after injection
What it is
ICSI is an advanced laboratory technique performed alongside IVF. Instead of allowing sperm to fertilise the egg naturally in the dish, our embryologists select a single, healthy sperm and inject it directly into each mature egg — overcoming even severe sperm-count or motility problems.
The Sandiya approach
- High-magnification sperm selection by senior embryologists.
- Combined with surgical sperm retrieval (TESA/PESA) when no sperm is present in the ejaculate.
- Recommended only when indicated — we don’t apply ICSI to every cycle by default.
Treatment 03
IUI — Intrauterine Insemination
A gentle first step: prepared, concentrated sperm placed directly in the uterus at the moment of ovulation.
2–3 weeks
Under 10 minutes
None needed
3–4 cycles before review
What it is
IUI improves the odds of natural conception by washing and concentrating the healthiest sperm, then placing them directly into the uterus precisely when ovulation occurs. It is simple, painless for most women, and requires no downtime.
The Sandiya approach
- Ovulation tracked with serial ultrasound so timing is exact, not estimated.
- Honest counselling on realistic success rates per cycle — and a clear plan for when to step up to IVF if needed.
- Natural-cycle or mild-stimulation IUI depending on your diagnosis.
Treatment 04
Fertility Preservation & Egg Freezing
Keep your options open — freeze eggs, sperm, or embryos at their healthiest, and decide the timeline later.
2–3 weeks
Vitrification
High with vitrification
Before 35, assessed individually
What it is
Fertility naturally declines with age — but frozen eggs, sperm, and embryos do not age. Fertility preservation lets you bank your reproductive potential today, whether you’re focusing on career, health, or simply not ready yet.
The Sandiya approach
- A fertility-assessment consultation first (AMH, ultrasound) so you know exactly where you stand before deciding.
- Vitrification — ultra-rapid freezing — for excellent egg and embryo survival on thawing.
- Urgent preservation pathways for patients about to begin cancer treatment.
Treatment 05
Infertility Evaluation & Ovulation Induction
Before any advanced treatment — a complete, unhurried diagnosis of why conception hasn’t happened yet.
60–90 minutes
Hormones, ultrasound, semen analysis
HSG / SSG when indicated
Always with your doctor
What it is
Roughly a third of infertility is female-factor, a third male-factor, and a third combined or unexplained — which is why we always evaluate both partners together. Your workup covers hormonal profile, ovulation, ovarian reserve, tubal patency, uterine health, and a complete semen analysis.
The Sandiya approach
- No test ordered without an explanation of what it checks and why it matters for you.
- Ovulation induction with tablets or injections for PCOS and ovulation disorders — often all that’s needed.
- Both partners evaluated together, from the very first visit.
Treatment 06
PCOS Care
Long-term, whole-person management of polycystic ovary syndrome — cycles, fertility, skin, weight, and metabolic health.
Lifestyle + medical
Ovulation induction, IUI, IVF
Cycle tracking & metabolic screening
Long-term partnership
What it is
PCOS affects far more than fertility — irregular periods, acne, weight changes, and long-term metabolic risk all deserve attention. Sandiya’s PCOS care treats the whole condition, whether or not pregnancy is your current goal.
The Sandiya approach
- Structured lifestyle and nutrition guidance as the foundation — because it genuinely changes outcomes in PCOS.
- Ovulation induction with careful monitoring when you’re ready to conceive, stepping up to IUI or IVF only if needed.
- Annual metabolic screening (glucose, lipids) to protect your long-term health.
Treatment 07
Endometriosis Care
Expert diagnosis and staged treatment for endometriosis — managing pain today and protecting fertility for tomorrow.
Clinical + imaging
Medical first-line
Laparoscopic, when indicated
Integrated from day one
What it is
Endometriosis is one of the most under-diagnosed causes of pelvic pain and infertility, with women often waiting years for answers. We take period pain seriously, diagnose methodically, and build a plan that balances symptom relief with your fertility goals.
The Sandiya approach
- Detailed ultrasound mapping before any treatment decision.
- Medical management first where appropriate; laparoscopic surgery by experienced hands when it’s truly indicated.
- Ovarian-reserve testing before surgery, and egg freezing offered when reserve is at risk.
Treatment 08
Gynaecology & Women’s Health
Complete gynaecological care — from adolescent health and screenings to menopause — under the same trusted roof.
Pap smear, HPV, breast exam
3D/4D ultrasound in-house
Hysteroscopy & laparoscopy
Adolescence to menopause

Complete gynaecological care under one roof, from adolescent health through menopause — delivered by the same team that manages your fertility.
Services include
- Well-woman checks, Pap smears, HPV screening, and preventive care.

- Fibroids, ovarian cysts, and abnormal bleeding: scan-based diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment.
- Pre-conception counselling and early-pregnancy care.
- Perimenopause and menopause management with honest guidance on hormone therapy.

Treatment FAQs
Questions couples actually ask us
Straight answers to the questions that matter before you begin. Anything else — ask us directly, no appointment needed.
How do I know whether I need IUI or IVF?
It depends on your diagnosis. IUI suits unexplained infertility, mild male-factor issues, and ovulation problems; IVF is recommended for blocked tubes, endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, or after unsuccessful IUI cycles. At Sandiya we always start with a complete evaluation of both partners, then recommend the simplest option that gives you a genuine chance — stepping up only when the evidence says so.
Is the IVF injection phase painful?
The stimulation injections use very fine needles given under the skin, and most women describe them as far easier than expected — closer to a pinch than pain. Our nursing team teaches you (or your partner) to give them at home, and we remain on call throughout. Egg retrieval itself is done under short sedation, so you sleep through it and go home the same day.
How many IVF cycles might I need?
Many couples conceive in their first cycle, but cumulative success rises meaningfully over two to three cycles — especially when frozen embryos from the first retrieval are available. Before you begin, we’ll give you a realistic, age-and-diagnosis-specific picture, so your expectations and budget are set honestly from day one.
Does egg freezing guarantee a future pregnancy?
No treatment can guarantee a pregnancy, and any clinic that promises one should worry you. What egg freezing does is preserve eggs at today’s quality for use later — improving your future options without promising a baby. We’ll always be honest about what the numbers mean for your age and situation.
