FAQs
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus to achieve pregnancy.
IVF is beneficial for individuals or couples facing infertility due to various reasons, including blocked fallopian tubes, male factor infertility, ovulation disorders, or unexplained infertility.
GIFT is a fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, mixed with sperm, and immediately placed into the fallopian tubes, allowing fertilization to occur naturally within the body.
