Infertility treatment has gained a big momentum in India as per statistical data from various sources, as infertility affects almost 10-15% of married couples. To combat this issue, rising awareness and advancement in medical technology have made In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) a hope for millions of couples.

IVF is an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) by which an egg and sperm are fertilized under controlled conditions outside the body. The embryo thus formed is transferred into the woman’s uterus for implantation and pregnancy. This technique is usually applied in couples with infertility who cannot conceive with conventional medical and surgical treatment methods. These condition such as, blocked fallopian tubes, severe endometriosis, low sperm count, and unexplained infertility warrant only IVF to be a method which helps achieving parenthood to these couples.
