Males and females both may be affected by certain causes of infertility and despite the fact that there are numerous therapies accessible in the medical field, infertility is a social taboo in India. There are many factors that can be the reason behind infertility ranging from age, medical history, internal disease, lifestyle etc. IVF can be a ray of hope for such couples who desire to have children.In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Priti Gupta, Senior Consultant in Fertility & IVF services, First Step IVF (Centre for Reproductive Medicine) in New Delhi, explained, “In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in which the eggs are combined with sperms outside the body in a lab and then placed back within the womb. It is regarded as the most popular and successful method of treating infertility.”
Dr Manu Gupta, Consultant Urologist and Andrologist at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, elaborated, “IVF is a blessing for many childless couples attempting to establish families since it helps them to achieve their desire of having children. IVF is a procedure of choice when egg, sperm, or embryo adoption is being explored. Contrary to popular opinion and widespread misinformation, not all IVF procedures employ donated eggs or sperm. They are instead only used in situations where the couple's own eggs or sperm are insufficient to produce an embryo. Therefore, consult an experienced fertility expert and andrologist who can guide you and suggest the right ways to go about it.”
