Abiviljastustehnikaid

Abiviljastustehnikaid, often translated as assisted reproduction techniques or fertility treatments, are medical procedures used to help individuals or couples conceive a child when natural conception is difficult or impossible. These techniques involve manipulating eggs, sperm, or embryos outside the body or assisting in the natural reproductive process.

One of the most well-known techniques is in vitro fertilization (IVF). This process involves stimulating a woman's ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then surgically retrieved. These eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting, creating embryos. After a few days of development, one or more embryos are transferred into the woman's uterus with the hope of a successful pregnancy.

Other assisted reproduction techniques include intrauterine insemination (IUI), where prepared sperm is directly placed into the uterus around the time of ovulation. Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) are similar to IVF but involve placing eggs and sperm or fertilized eggs into the fallopian tubes. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a specific type of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.

These techniques are often used to address various causes of infertility, such as ovulation disorders, male factor infertility, tubal damage, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility. The success rates of these procedures can vary depending on factors like age, the specific condition being treated, and the clinic's expertise. They offer a pathway to parenthood for many individuals and couples facing fertility challenges.
