Assisted Reproduction Fertility Treatments
The medical experts define “assisted reproduction” as a condition when medical help is provided to bring about reproduction in couples facing fertility problems. The usual fertility cure procedures applied are:
IUI i.e. Intrauterine insemination: This process is also called artificial insemination. This process is, often, undertaken simultaneously with hormone medication (this is administered to enhance the development of the egg). This kind of treatment, also, assists the couples if they complain of low sperm count or if it is a case of infertility that has failed diagnosis or in case of cervical mucus disorder. Here the semen is accumulated, a catheter is inserted in the female’s vagina and cervix right into her uterus and the sperms are sent in there with the help of the catheter.
IVF i.e. In vitro fertilization: In vitro fertilization, considered to be one of the most remarkable advancements in the last three decades, is the procedure mostly used in case of infertility. It is generally the best procedure if the woman has physical deformities like if her fallopian tubes are obstructed or if the male sperm count is very low or if the reason for the infertility cannot be found out. IVF has been proficient and effective in impregnating women no matter what the cause of infertility has been.
In this process, the woman has to take medicines that will enhance the development of eggs in her ovule. The matured eggs are then taken out via a surgery. In a petri dish, the eggs are placed, the sperms are introduced and fertilization is carried out. The zygote is then placed inside the uterus of the woman. “Test tube babies” is what babies born in this manner are called.
Sperm contribution: sperm contribution is a great way that leads to conception. This is used if the man in the relationship is infertile or has a low sperm count or if a woman wants to conceive and be a single parent. The person who gives the sperms, in most cases, is unknown- however, it can also be a friend or an associate.
The usage of contributed eggs: This is applied when a woman wishes to conceive even though her eggs cannot be used or she suffers from some ovulation disorder. In this case, donated eggs are utilized.
Conventional or gestational Surrogacy: Traditional surrogacy is a condition in which a woman termed as the “surrogate” carries her own child through the 9 months- a child born out of her own egg and the sperm of the father-to be through the process of artificial insemination. In gestational surrogacy, a woman called the “surrogate” hoilds a child for 9 months- this child is formed when the mother to be’s egg is fertilized with the father to be’s sperm through in vitro fertilization process. This zygote is put in the surrogate’s uterus.
