Infertility

Our Infertility and Reproductive Medicine Department is dedicated to identifying and treating a wide range of fertility challenges. With decades of experience and one of the most advanced IVF labs in Chennai, we support patients with customized plans based on individual medical profiles and goals.

At Prashanth Hospitals, innovation drives success in fertility care. Our world-class technologies and precision lab support include:

• Semen Analysis & DNA Fragmentation Testing: Detailed, computer-rated lab assessments to evaluate male fertility. 
• Micro TESE (Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction): A procedure done under 70x magnification to retrieve sperm from testicular tissue. 
• Time-Lapse Technology & Embryoscopy: Continuous embryo monitoring without disrupting incubation, aiding in selecting the healthiest embryo. 
• Embryo Glue: Used during embryo transfer to improve implantation. 
• Laser-Assisted Hatching (LAH): Helps embryos hatch and implant successfully. 
• Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Screening embryos for genetic abnormalities before transfer. 
• Embryo Grading: Embryos are scored (Grade A or B) to select the most viable ones. 
• Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): Embryos are preserved and transferred in subsequent cycles to optimize implantation timing. 
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Injected into the uterus to improve endometrial receptivity. 
• Stem Cell Therapy: Derived from bone marrow, showing promise in restoring reproductive function.

• Thymosin Alpha: An immune-modulating drug used as part of advanced infertility treatment protocols.

We offer personalized treatment pathways with access to cutting-edge techniques. Key treatment options include:

• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): The most successful ART method, involving egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer. 
• Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A single sperm is injected into an egg; used in male infertility or low fertilization rate cases. 
• Blastocyst Transfer: Transferring embryos at a more advanced development stage to improve success rates. 
• 3D Hysterolaparoscopy: Minimally invasive surgical evaluation and treatment of reproductive anatomy issues. 
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): A simpler fertility procedure placing sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. 
• Cryopreservation of Sperm and Embryos: Long-term preservation for future use, including during cancer treatment..

Our fertility experts handle diverse and complex causes of infertility with compassion and accuracy. Areas of focus include:

• PCOS Management: Restoring ovulation and enhancing fertility outcomes. 
• Endometriosis Treatment: Surgical and hormonal options to manage pain and improve chances of conception. 
• Unexplained Infertility: Thorough diagnostics and empirical treatments for those without a clear cause. 
• Male Infertility: Semen analysis, hormone testing, and sperm retrieval techniques like Micro TESE. 
• Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Genetic and immunological evaluations with personalized care. 
• Age-Related Fertility: Fertility support for women over 35, including embryo testing and hormonal support. 
• Genetic Counseling & Testing (PGT): Reducing the risk of genetic disorders through preimplantation screening.
  

Certain fertility situations require timely intervention. We’re equipped to respond with:

• Oncofertility Services: Fertility preservation for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.
• Urgent Semen/Egg Freezing: For unexpected medical procedures or treatments.
• Cycle Acceleration & Planning: IVF cycle preparation for patients with limited fertility windows.
• Emotional & Psychological Support: Professional counseling available throughout your fertility journey.

• No pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected sex (or 6 months if over age 35)
• Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
• Multiple miscarriages
• Low sperm count or poor sperm quality
• Diagnosed PCOS or endometriosis
• Planning to delay pregnancy and want to preserve fertility
• Known family history of genetic disorders
