In Vitro Fertilization

IVF (In vitro fertilization) is an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedure used to treat a range of fertility problems. In normal cases, man’s sperm meets the woman’s egg and produces an embryo in woman’s womb. Out of million sperms, only one sperm succeeds in fertilizing with the woman’s egg. This process actually explains the reproduction in humans .But sometimes due to various complication, this process doesn’t actually occurs in the same way as it should and the reasons of it could be many. Medical science has come up with a solution of it and that solution is IVF.

Under the process of IVF, the fertilization, in simple words the meeting of sperm with the woman’s egg is carried out outside the body of woman under the special surroundings artificially created by specialists. A woman’s egg is aspirated out from the woman’s body and the sperm is made to meet with it to produce the fertilized embryo in the laboratory itself. After the successful meeting and embryo generation, the embryo is placed back in the woman’s uterus for further regeneration. This is the whole idea of IVF.
