Other Research
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are common treatments for infertility. IVF involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving these eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory, and then transferring the resulting embryos into the uterus.
This process bypasses several potential barriers to natural conception, such as fallopian tube blockages or low sperm count. Other ART methods include intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, and the use of donor eggs or sperm.
These treatments are crucial for infertility patients as they offer alternative pathways to achieve pregnancy when natural conception is not possible, thereby providing hope and potential solutions for those struggling with infertility.
