Infertility Procedures
The study of each couple is undertaken in an integrated way, directed towards ruling out most common problems causing sterility.
Many of the causes that affect the reproductive process have a specific treatment, which may often involve a pharmaceutical drug or simple surgical intervention to correct specific anatomical limitations. It is only when a couple's problems cannot be resolved by these routes that Reproductive Medicine is indicated.
All the Assisted Reproduction Techniques require prior medical stimulation to achieve an appropriate ovarian response. The hormone dose and the final procedure are the factors that distinguish the various treatments.
The wide variety of assisted reproduction techniques and reproductive medicine procedures offered in the Assisted Reproduction Unit are explained in detail below.
