Infertility Treatment Options at IVF Center in Kolkata

We don't recommend a treatment and then fit the patient to it. Your diagnosis comes first - and depending on what it shows, the recommended treatment may be one or a combination of the following:

• IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) - the cornerstone of assisted reproduction, in which eggs are fertilised in the embryology lab and the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) - a precision form of IVF in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg, used for severe male-factor infertility.
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) - a less invasive first-line option in which prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around ovulation; appropriate for mild infertility.
• Cryopreservation - egg, sperm, and embryo freezing for fertility preservation, using vitrification technology.
• Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy - diagnostic and surgical procedures for uterine and tubal conditions that affect fertility.

Male & Female Infertility Treatment in Kolkata

We test both partners from the very first visit - not only after the female results have been reviewed. Male factors contribute to close to 40% of the cases we see, and they are often the longest-overlooked piece, because there is frequently no visible symptom to notice.

• For women: The most common causes of female infertility we treat include PCOS, endometriosis, blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, diminished ovarian reserve, and hormonal imbalances. Treatment depends on the specific diagnosis and may include IVF, ICSI, IUI, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, or hormonal protocols - individually or in combination.
• For men: Male infertility evaluation includes semen analysis, hormonal profiling, and, where needed, advanced testing such as DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) assessment and Micro-TESE for azoospermia. ICSI makes pregnancy possible even when sperm numbers or quality are severely compromised.

Catching a male-factor issue early often changes the entire treatment path - and can make it considerably simpler.

Genetic Testing & PGT at Indira IVF Kolkata

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is one of the more significant advances in IVF over the past decade - it allows embryos to be screened for genetic or chromosomal problems before transfer, so that only the healthiest embryos are selected. This can meaningfully improve the chances of a successful pregnancy, particularly for patients who have experienced recurrent loss or repeated IVF failure.

There are three types of PGT, and the right one depends on what you're screening for:

• PGT-A (Aneuploidy Screening): Checks embryos for the correct number of chromosomes. The most common form of PGT, recommended for patients with recurrent miscarriage, recurrent IVF failure, or those of advanced maternal age, where chromosomal errors are more frequent.
• PGT-M (Monogenic Disorder Screening): Tests embryos for specific inherited single-gene conditions - such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, or spinal muscular atrophy - when one or both parents carry a known genetic mutation. This requires detailed pre-cycle genetic consultation.
• PGT-SR (Structural Rearrangement Screening): Used when one partner carries a chromosomal structural rearrangement (such as a balanced translocation) that doesn't affect the parent but can cause miscarriage or chromosomal abnormalities in a child.

Your specialist will advise whether PGT is recommended for your case and which type is relevant based on your history.

Legal and Ethical Standards for IVF Healthcare in Kolkata

Every fertility clinic operating in India - including all Indira IVF centres - must be registered with the National ART and Surrogacy Registry under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The ART (Regulation) Act, 2021 sets out clear standards that govern how IVF and related treatments are conducted. Patients have a right to know these standards exist and are being followed.

Key provisions under the ART Act that affect patients directly:

• Age eligibility: Female patients must be between 21 and 50 years of age. Male patients must be between 21 and 55 years.
• Donor regulations: An egg (oocyte) donor can donate only once in her lifetime - a regulation strictly enforced across all registered clinics. This protects donor health and maintains the integrity of the donor programme.
• Donor insurance: Clinics are legally required to provide 12-month insurance coverage to egg donors, covering any medical complications arising from the donation procedure.
• Consent and confidentiality: All donor programmes operate under strict consent protocols. Donor identity is kept confidential in accordance with the Act.

These are not policies unique to Indira IVF - they are legal requirements. We mention them because patients should feel confident asking any fertility clinic for proof of registration and ART Act compliance before beginning treatment.
