The technique recommended by doctors to address infertility is (3) ART, which stands for Assisted Reproductive Technology. ART encompasses a variety of methods and procedures designed to assist couples or individuals in conceiving a child when they face fertility challenges.
Some common ART procedures include:
In vitro fertilization (IVF): Eggs are retrieved from the woman's ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryos are subsequently transferred to the woman's uterus.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): A single sperm is directly injected into an egg to facilitate fertilization.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI): Sperm is collected, processed, and then inserted directly into the woman's uterus during her fertile period.
Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT): Both eggs and sperm are collected and placed together into the woman's fallopian tubes, allowing fertilization to occur naturally.
Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT): Fertilized embryos (zygotes) are transferred into the woman's fallopian tubes.
