Frequently Asked Questions
Who is generally considered eligible for IVF treatment in Chennai?
In Chennai, IVF is generally recommended for couples facing identified fertility hurdles such as blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, severe male-factor subfertility, endometriosis, ovulatory dysfunction such as PCOS, or unexplained infertility where more conservative methods have failed. General eligibility is determined after medical evaluation and baseline hormone screenings by a qualified fertility specialist.
What does the IVF process generally involve from start to finish?
The IVF journey follows a sequence of medical steps: initial diagnostic testing, controlled ovarian stimulation using targeted hormone injections, ultrasound monitoring, transvaginal egg retrieval, laboratory fertilisation (via conventional IVF or ICSI), embryo culture, and subsequent embryo transfer into the uterus. To understand why specific medications are used, patients can read more about why IVF is based on injections.
What factors influence the success rate of fertility treatments in Chennai?
Treatment success depends on several clinical variables, primarily the female partner's age, ovarian reserve (AMH levels), sperm quality, endometrial receptivity, and embryo quality. High-grade laboratory infrastructure, advanced micromanipulation, and personalised protocol management also significantly influence treatment outcomes.
What is surrogacy and when is it clinically indicated?
Surrogacy is an assisted reproductive arrangement in which an eligible woman carries a pregnancy to term for intended parents who cannot safely carry a child themselves. Common medical indications include the absence of a functional uterus, severe uterine anomalies, recurrent implantation failure, or life-threatening medical conditions where pregnancy is contraindicated. Intended parents can learn more through this guide on what surrogacy means, the process, and general considerations.
What should couples consider before starting fertility treatments in Aminjikarai, Chennai?
Couples should consider the time commitment for clinical monitoring, the emotional and physical demands of treatment cycles, transparent pricing, and the clinic's access to experienced specialists. Dr. Gautam. B. Hanji brings over 30 years of clinical and surgical expertise to guide patients through these practical considerations. For legal criteria and documentation related to advanced treatments like surrogacy, couples should always seek direct guidance from the clinic team or an authorised legal expert.
