Assisted Reproductive Techniques
Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) are medical procedures used to help individuals or couples conceive a child. These techniques include methods like in vitro fertilization (IVF), where eggs are fertilized by sperm outside the body and then implanted in the uterus. ART is often used when there are fertility issues, such as blocked fallopian tubes or low sperm count.
Other ART methods include intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg, and egg or sperm donation. These techniques can provide options for those facing challenges in natural conception, offering hope for starting a family.
