Aster Prime Hospital has added a significant milestone to its healthcare services by launching fertility treatments, including Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) services. The inauguration ceremony was graced by Dr. Nirmala Rajaram, Principal Chief Medical Officer of South Central Railway, who highlighted the importance of accessible fertility solutions for couples struggling with infertility. This development is set to bring new hope to many individuals in Hyderabad and the surrounding regions.
A Step Towards Tackling Infertility
Infertility is a growing concern worldwide, affecting a considerable number of couples. Addressing the issue during the launch, Dr. Nirmala Rajaram stated, “Various factors, including lifestyle changes and health conditions, have made infertility a significant challenge for couples today. When natural conception becomes difficult, fertility treatments like IUI offer a safe and effective solution. Aster Prime Hospital’s initiative in bringing these services to the public is commendable and will play a vital role in reducing the emotional and physical strain associated with infertility.”
Dr. Rajaram also took the opportunity to appreciate the hospital’s state-of-the-art laboratory and the expertise of its specialists. She expressed confidence in the hospital’s ability to deliver high-quality fertility services and provide much-needed support to couples seeking to start or grow their families.
Expertise and Advanced Technology
The launch event also featured an address by Dr. P. Tanuja, Head of the Gynecology Department and Senior Consultant Gynecologist at Aster Prime Hospital. Dr. Tanuja provided valuable insights into the growing demand for fertility treatments and the hospital’s readiness to meet these needs.
“Currently, about 5-15% of couples face challenges in conceiving naturally. Factors such as delayed marriages, lifestyle habits, and conditions like PCOD in women contribute to these difficulties. Recognizing this need, Aster Prime Hospital has expanded its services to include IUI, which is a minimally invasive and cost-effective fertility treatment,” Dr. Tanuja explained.
She elaborated on the IUI process, stating, “In cases where natural conception is not possible due to fertility issues in either partner, we collect and process the male partner’s sperm, which is then inserted directly into the uterus. This procedure increases the likelihood of conception by ensuring the use of high-quality sperm. IUI is particularly beneficial for women with cervical issues that impede natural conception.”
The hospital’s cutting-edge laboratory, equipped with advanced technology and staffed by highly qualified embryologists, ensures the highest standards of care. Dr. Tanuja expressed gratitude to Dr. Nirmala Rajaram for her visit and encouragement, emphasizing the hospital’s commitment to delivering effective fertility solutions.
A Legacy of Women’s Healthcare
A Legacy of Women’s HealthcareAster Prime Hospital has been a trusted name in women’s healthcare for over a decade, offering services such as normal deliveries, cesareans, fibroid removal, and hysterectomies. The introduction of IUI services adds to this legacy, underscoring the hospital’s dedication to addressing the evolving needs of its patients. By incorporating fertility treatments into its repertoire, the hospital aims to provide comprehensive care under one roof.
The Growing Need for Fertility Treatments
The prevalence of infertility is often attributed to modern lifestyle challenges, including stress, unhealthy dietary habits, and delayed parenthood. Conditions like PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) further exacerbate the issue. With an increasing number of couples seeking medical assistance to conceive, the demand for accessible and affordable fertility treatments has risen significantly.
IUI, as a less invasive and more affordable option compared to other assisted reproductive technologies, is often the first step in fertility treatment.
It is especially recommended for:
- Couples with unexplained infertility
- Mild male-factor infertility
- Women with cervical mucus issues
- Couples looking for a less invasive option before exploring advanced treatments like IVF

With a combination of experienced specialists, modern facilities, and patient-centered care, the hospital is well-positioned to make a positive impact on the lives of those facing infertility challenges.

We believe that no couple should have to give up on their dream of parenthood due to financial or logistical barriers. At Aster Prime Hospital, we are here to support them every step of the way.”
