Assistive Reproductive Technology; Enhance Fertility through Non-Invasive Ways

 

Assistive reproductive technology (ART) is an area that deals with reproductive techniques that can be used by people who are not able to have children naturally. This technology includes a variety of medical practices used mainly to address infertility in both men and women. This field also involves alternative methods for in vitro fertilization or intrauterine insemination, assisted reproductive technologies, and the administration of fertility drugs. The goal of this technique is to enhance fertility in patients through non-invasive ways.

This technology has made a lot of strides in recent years. It is a medical procedure primarily used to address infertility, in which eggs are extracted surgically from the ovaries and combined with the sperms in a laboratory. These eggs are then mixed with sperms to form embryos. Sometimes, assistive reproductive technology uses donor sperm, donor eggs, or pre-frozen embryos. It may involve a surrogate or gestational carrier. Most of the assisted reproductive technologies involve the use of donor eggs or embryos to create a child. In vitro fertilization is another technique that is quite popular. This process involves the use of either eggs or sperm from the patient's own body. If these two options are unsuccessful, then other assisted reproductive technologies can be used such as embryo transfer.

Moreover, it is important to note that there are some assisted reproductive technologies that are considered experimental. Many stem cell research and embryonic stem cell research are considered to be outside of the scope of normal assisted reproductive technologies. It is also important to note that some of these techniques can actually increase the risk of fertility problems in women. Therefore, it is critical to carefully consider the pros and cons of each fertility treatment before making any decisions regarding fertility issues.

With the increasing prevalence and incidence of infertility worldwide, the demand for assistive reproductive technology is also increasing at a rapid pace. Infertility affects around 8% to 10% of couples worldwide. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), in 2018, around 2.6 million reported cases of infertility were treated in Mexico, and the number increases by 180,000 cases each year.
