In Vitro Fertilization

Summary

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an advanced treatment that assists the process of egg fertilization and implantation using the latest medical technology and treatments. The process consists of stimulating egg production, retrieving viable eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in a lab setting, and then implanting them in the intended mother or a surrogate who will carry them through pregnancy..

The treatment focuses on monitoring endocrine systems and aims to produce more mature eggs. Medications differ from one another depending on different situations.

Fertilized eggs are cultured for 2 - 6 days and then transferred into the mother's uterus.

Applicable patients :

  1. Female with obstructed fallopian tubes: Sperm and eggs cannot meet normally, and can only be fertilized by in vitro fertilization.

  2. Male with poor sperm quality: low sperm counts, poor motility, a high percentage of abnormal morphology, or inability to produce sperm.

  3. Severe endometriosis

  4. Aged women (After the age of 35, IVF provides a better and more effective way to get pregnant)
