In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure where an egg and sperm are combined outside the body in a laboratory. After fertilization, the embryo is cultured for several days before being transferred into the woman’s uterus (fresh embryo transfer) or frozen for future frozen embryo transfer, where it may implant and develop into a pregnancy. IVF is used to treat infertility caused by various factors, such as blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or unexplained infertility. The process often involves hormone treatments to stimulate egg production, followed by egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer. IVF can also be combined with genetic testing to screen embryos for certain conditions.
