Treatment 01

IVF — In Vitro Fertilisation

The most effective assisted-reproduction treatment, personalised to your ovarian reserve and history.

Cycle length
4–6 weeks
Best suited for
Blocked tubes, low reserve, failed IUI
Anaesthesia
Short sedation for retrieval
Hospital stay
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.

Who it helps

  • Blocked or damaged tubes
  • Endometriosis
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Low ovarian reserve
  • After failed IUI cycles
  • Advanced maternal age
Treatment 02

ICSI — Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

Precision fertilisation for male-factor infertility — one healthy sperm, injected directly into each mature egg.

Performed with
IVF cycle
Best suited for
Male-factor infertility
Lab technique
Micromanipulation
Fertilisation check
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.

Who it helps

  • Low sperm count
  • Poor motility or morphology
  • Previous failed fertilisation
  • Surgically retrieved sperm
  • Frozen sperm samples
Treatment 03

IUI — Intrauterine Insemination

A gentle first step: prepared, concentrated sperm placed directly in the uterus at the moment of ovulation.

Cycle length
2–3 weeks
Procedure time
Under 10 minutes
Anaesthesia
None needed
Typical course
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.

Who it helps

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Mild male-factor issues
  • Ovulation disorders / PCOS
  • Cervical-factor infertility
  • Donor sperm cycles
Treatment 04

Fertility Preservation & Egg Freezing

Keep your options open — freeze eggs, sperm, or embryos at their healthiest, and decide the timeline later.

Egg freezing cycle
2–3 weeks
Storage method
Vitrification
Survival on thaw
High with vitrification
Ideal age
Before 35, but 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 beginning cancer treatment, coordinated directly with your oncologist.
  • Transparent annual storage costs, in writing.

Who it helps

  • Women planning later motherhood
  • Before chemotherapy or surgery
  • Endometriosis with declining reserve
  • Couples banking embryos between cycles
  • Sperm banking
Treatment 05

Infertility Evaluation & Ovulation Induction

Before any advanced treatment — a complete, unhurried diagnosis of why conception hasn't happened yet.

First visit
60–90 minutes
Core tests
Hormones, ultrasound, semen analysis
Tube check
HSG / SSG when indicated
Report review
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.
  • Timed-intercourse guidance and cycle monitoring before any assisted treatment is suggested.
  • Male fertility treated as a first-class part of the workup, with andrology support in-house.

Who it helps

  • Trying for 12+ months (or 6+ over age 35)
  • Irregular cycles
  • Known PCOS or thyroid issues
  • Previous pregnancy loss
  • Couples wanting a baseline check
Treatment 06

PCOS Care

Long-term, whole-person management of polycystic ovary syndrome — cycles, fertility, skin, weight, and metabolic health.

Approach
Lifestyle + medical
Fertility option
Ovulation induction, IUI, IVF
Monitoring
Cycle tracking & metabolic screening
Care style
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.

Diagnosis
Clinical + imaging
Pain management
Medical first-line
Surgery
Laparoscopic, when indicated
Fertility planning
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.
  • Direct pathway to IVF when endometriosis is the barrier to conception.
Treatment 08

Gynaecology & Women's Health

Complete gynaecological care — from adolescent health and screenings to menopause — under the same trusted roof.

Screenings
Pap smear, HPV, breast exam
Scans
3D/4D ultrasound in-house
Procedures
Hysteroscopy & laparoscopy
Care span
Adolescence to menopause

What we cover

  • Well-woman checks, Pap smears, HPV screening, and preventive care.
  • Menstrual problems — heavy, painful, or irregular periods diagnosed properly, not dismissed.
  • 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.

Male fertility & andrology

Semen analysis, hormonal evaluation, lifestyle correction, medical treatment, and surgical sperm retrieval — because complete fertility care means caring for both partners.

Genetic testing coordination

For couples with recurrent loss, repeated implantation failure, or known genetic conditions, we coordinate pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) with accredited genetics laboratories and interpret every report with you.

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.

Ask Your Question
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 their current quality — so a 32-year-old's eggs remain 32 biologically, even if she uses them at 40. The younger you freeze and the more mature eggs banked, the better your future chances, which is exactly what we quantify at your assessment.
Will my treatment be kept confidential?
Completely. Fertility treatment is nobody's business but yours. Consultations happen in private rooms, records are access-restricted, appointment scheduling is discreet, and no information is ever shared with anyone — including family members — without your explicit consent.
Can PCOS or endometriosis be treated without IVF?
Very often, yes. Most women with PCOS conceive with lifestyle changes and ovulation induction alone. Mild endometriosis may respond to medical management or laparoscopic treatment followed by natural or IUI-assisted conception. IVF is one tool among many — we reach for it when it's the right tool, not the default one.
What does treatment cost, and are there hidden charges?
Costs vary by treatment and by your individual protocol, so quoting a single number here would be misleading. What we promise: a complete written estimate before you begin — covering medicines, procedures, laboratory work, and freezing — with no surprise additions during your cycle. Ask for the estimate at your first consultation; it's yours to take home and consider.
