Assisted Reproductive Technology

Assisted reproductive technology involves the primary medical procedure that helps to treat infertility. The medical procedures involved in it are intracytoplasmic sperm injections, in vitro fertilization process, and cryopreservation of the gametes and administration of the fertility medications. Ovulation induction is another assisted reproductive technique in which the ovarian follicles are stimulated by injecting the fertility medications and monitoring the development of eggs, follicle growth and production of reproductive hormones. When the eggs are mature enough then HCG injection is administered to initiate ovulation process.  The other therapies include mitochondrial replacement therapy and gamete intrafallopian transfer. There infertility medications are less in number and are very limited for males.
