Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)

The most frequent medical procedure for treating infertility is assisted reproductive technology. Among the medical treatments involved are intracytoplasmic sperm injections, in vitro fertilisation, cryopreservation of gametes, and the administration of fertility medications. Ovulation induction is another assisted reproductive method in which fertility medicines are injected into ovarian follicles and the development of eggs, follicle growth, and reproductive hormone production are monitored. When the eggs are mature enough to begin the ovulation process, an HCG injection is administered. Alternative treatments include mitochondrial replacement therapy and gamete intrafallopian transfer. Males have fewer and more limited options for infertility medications.
