in Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a significant reproductive technology used to treat infertility and genetic diseases. It is an advanced method used to create an embryo outside the body, using a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm. Once the embryo is formed, it is surgically implanted into the woman’s uterus. IVF can help conceive a healthy baby for those who cannot conceive otherwise. It is commonly used for women with blocked or damaged Fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or those who are in menopause. It is also used for genetic diseases or issues with sperm count. The success rate of IVF is around 40%, and it can increase the chances of conception with increased number of embryos.
