Nowadays, infertility is a major health concern. According to the World Health Organization one in every six couples are struggling to become parents. Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after normal unprotected sexual intercourse.
Infertility may result from a problem with either the male or the female partner, or a combination of factors that interfere with pregnancy. But fortunately, due to the advancement of science and technology, there are many safe and effective treatments that can significantly improve your chances of getting pregnant.
Treatments
Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is a simple treatment procedure in which healthy sperms are washed, concentrated, and injected directly into a woman’s uterus during the time of ovulation.
In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a technology in which the eggs from the female partner and sperms from the male partner are fertilized in a specialized culture medium. It is commonly known as test tube baby because the process of fertilization occurs outside the body.
ICSI is a micromanipulation technique developed to achieve fertilization. In this procedure a single sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of an egg.
