IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is an assisted reproductive technology where eggs and sperm are combined in a lab to create embryos, which are then transferred to the uterus for implantation.
IVF is recommended for individuals facing:
✔️ Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
✔️ Male infertility issues (low sperm count or poor motility)
✔️ Endometriosis
✔️ Unexplained infertility
✔️ Age-related fertility decline
The process involves hormone injections, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer. While some discomfort may be experienced, anesthesia and pain management techniques help minimize discomfort.
IVF success rates vary based on age, health conditions, and embryo quality. On average:
✔️ Women under 35: 50-60% success rate per cycle
✔️ Women over 40: 10-20% success rate per cycle
IVF is generally safe, but potential risks include:
✔️ Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) due to hormone medications
✔️ Multiple pregnancies (if multiple embryos are transferred)
✔️ Emotional and financial stress
