Frequently Asked Questions

Clear all your doubts about infertility treatment and advanced options like IUI, IVF, and ICSI in Chennai.

The cost depends on the type of treatment—basic consultation and tests are affordable, while advanced treatments like IUI, IVF, or ICSI may range from ₹10,000 to ₹2.5 lakhs depending on the clinic and procedures required.

Your doctor will suggest the right treatment after fertility tests like hormone evaluation, semen analysis, ultrasound, or advanced diagnostics. Simple cases may need medications or IUI, while complex cases may require IVF or ICSI.

Success rates vary based on age, health condition, and treatment type. On average:

  • IUI: 10–20% per cycle

  • IVF: 40–60% per cycle (higher for younger women)

  • ICSI: 50–70% per cycle

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a simple procedure where washed sperm is placed directly in the uterus during ovulation. It is best for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male infertility, or ovulation problems.

No, IUI is generally painless and quick. Some women may experience mild cramps, but serious risks are rare.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) involves stimulating the ovaries, retrieving eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in a lab, and transferring the embryo into the uterus. It helps couples with blocked tubes, severe male infertility, or unexplained infertility.

Both involve fertilization in the lab. In IVF, eggs and sperm are mixed naturally. In ICSI, a single healthy sperm is directly injected into the egg, making it more suitable for severe male infertility.

ICSI is usually suggested when there is low sperm count, poor sperm motility, previous failed IVF cycles, or when using frozen sperm/eggs.

Yes, both IVF and ICSI are considered safe. Studies show that babies born through these treatments are as healthy as naturally conceived babies, with only minimal risks.

The best age is between 25–35 years, as success rates are highest. After 35, success may decline due to reduced egg quality, but many women still achieve pregnancy with advanced methods.
