Assisted reproductive treatments are various medical procedures used to support or assist the natural reproductive process for couples who have difficulty conceiving. These methods aim to increase the fertility of couples, optimize the functionality of reproductive organs or strengthen the fertilization process.

Here are some commonly used assisted reproductive treatments:

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

In this method, eggs obtained in the natural cycle or by egg stimulation are injected into the uterus and combined with sperm. This method can be used in men or women with poor sperm quality when cervical mucus prevents sperm motility.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

This is one of the most widely used assisted reproductive techniques. In IVF, the woman's eggs are fertilized in a laboratory environment and the resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus. It is suitable for IVF, blocked tubes, endometriosis, male factor infertility and other conditions.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI is a type of IVF and is used when men have poor sperm quality or very low sperm count. In this technique, a sperm cell is injected directly into the egg with a microsyringe in a laboratory environment.

Ovarian Stimulation

This is the use of hormone medications to control women's natural cycle and enable them to produce more than one egg. Ovarian stimulation aims to obtain more eggs for IVF and other reproductive techniques.

Use of Donor Egg or Sperm (In Turkey Implementation It is forbidden.)

Donor eggs or sperm can be used for women who cannot produce enough healthy eggs in their ovaries or for those who have problems with sperm production.

Embryo Transfer

It is the process of transferring healthy embryos created through IVF or other reproductive techniques to the uterus of the expectant mother.

These are some of the commonly used assisted reproductive treatments. Which method best suits a couple may vary depending on the couple's medical history, age, health status, and other factors. Therefore, it is important to determine the most appropriate treatment plan in consultation with a healthcare professional.
