Book an AppointmentAdvanced treatment for couples facing infertility
IVF and ICSI are advanced fertility treatments designed to help couples experiencing infertility. In IVF, eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in the laboratory. In ICSI, the best single sperm is injected directly into each mature egg to support fertilization, particularly in cases of male-factor infertility.
Who may benefit from IVF or ICSI?
IVF or ICSI may be recommended in cases such as:
- Male-factor infertility or abnormal semen analysis
- Unexplained infertility
- Previous unsuccessful fertility treatments
- Ovulation disorders
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Endometriosis
- Inherited diseases and genetic disorders
Important note: Every fertility journey is different. At Bnoon, each treatment plan is tailored to the patient's medical history, test results, and individual needs.
