A Modern Technique: In vitro Fertilisation

Chhaya Nagwan

Abstract: In vitro fertilization, popularly known as IVF, has taken the attention of the public since its sensational introduction in 1978. Today assisted reproductive technology is available throughout most of the civilized world, and the practice is largely different from that used during the early days. Refinements in laboratory technology and clinical practice have allowed IVF to evolve into a medical procedure that is efficient, safe, readily accessible, and relatively affordable. More than 2 million IVF children have been born to date, and it is likely that continued enhancements will widen its appeal and applicability. IVF is a major treatment of infertility and highly utilised treatment option of assisted reproductive technology. Advances in IVF over the past decade have made this route of achieving pregnancy very popular amongst patients and clinicians and it has also become more feasible in low- and middle-income countries in terms of availability and cost.
