ART procedures
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Specially prepared semen is injected into the uterus to treat male factor infertility, sexual problems, problems with cervical mucus and ovulation, and unexplained infertility.
In Vitro Fertilisation and Embryo Transfer (IVF & ET)
Eggs are retrieved from the woman after stimulation with hormone therapy. They are fertilized with semen collected from husband in a lab. The embryos are grown in the lab for 4-5 days and on a suitable day they are transferred into the uterus. Pregnancy test is done after 2 weeks and when confirmed the pregnancy is closely monitored and managed to deliver a healthy baby.
