IVF Treatment (In Vitro Fertilization)

In vitro fertilization (IVF) was first conceived in the 1930s and became a practical procedure with the first live birth in 1978. It was originally designed as a solution only for women with blocked tubes.

Today, however, it has evolved into a treatment method that offers an effective solution to many reproductive problems, including male infertility, with success rates of up to 80%.

This IVF Treatment, which involves the fertilization of eggs from the expectant mother with sperm from the father and the transfer of the resulting embryos to the woman’s uterus, has become increasingly widespread with technological and scientific advances.
