IVFissä

IVFissä refers to in vitro fertilization, a fertility treatment process. It involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryo or embryos are then transferred to the uterus with the hope of achieving a pregnancy.

The IVF process typically begins with ovarian stimulation, where medications are administered to encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Once the eggs mature, they are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure. These eggs are then combined with sperm in a laboratory dish. After fertilization is confirmed, the embryos are cultured for several days. Finally, one or more healthy embryos are selected and transferred into the woman's uterus.

IVF is a complex medical procedure often used to address infertility issues such as blocked fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, ovulation disorders, or unexplained infertility. It can also be utilized by individuals or couples who wish to use donor eggs or sperm, or for genetic testing of embryos before implantation. The success rates of IVF vary depending on factors like age, the cause of infertility, and the clinic's expertise.
