In vitro fertilisation was first conceived in the 1930s and was put into practice in 1978 with the first live birth. Initially, it was designed as a solution only for women with blocked tubes. However, today, it has turned into a treatment method that offers an effective solution to many reproductive problems, including infertility in men, with a success rate of up to 80%. This treatment, which involves the fertilisation of eggs taken 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.
