Since ever, infertility has been a huge issue for couples who want to become parents. As many factors can generate this disease, Medically Assisted Procreation (MAP) solution can help identify its risk factors and provide the best technique to get away with it.

Let’s dive into details!

Infertility As A Disease

Infertility is a disease that deprives a couple of getting a baby after attempting more than one time of unprotected intercourse during a whole year.

Besides productive system dysfunction, age, unhealthy lifestyle (Tobacco use, Marijuana, alcohol…), overweight and underweight are risk factors for infertility. 

Not only when they never had a baby, but also when they had a baby, a couple can still have infertility. 

Medically Assisted Procreation (MAP)

As both sexes lack chances of having a baby, a medical assistant can be their way out.

Medically Assisted Procreation (MAP), is a technique that boosts couples’ chance to have a baby.

The process is to fertilize a woman’s eggs either inside her uterus or outside of it in a laboratory.

MAP Techniques

There are three techniques that a couple can go for:

 – Intrauterine insemination (IUI):

This technique aims to inject the spermatozoids inside a woman’s uterus after being collected and diagnosed. This technique is made during ovulation time and is preceded by some medications to induce ovulation.

 – In vitro fertilisation (IVF):

This technique aims to fertilize eggs with sperm in a laboratory and then transfer the fertilized egg inside the woman’s uterus.
 
The process starts by stimulating the ovarian for a couple of days, then retrieving the eggs from the uterus, fertilizing the egg with the sperm collected, and finally, transferring that embryo (fertilized egg) into the uterus so the baby can grow up inside his mommy’s body.

 – Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI):

This technique goes through the same process as IVF but with a slight difference in the insemination stage.

After stimulating the ovarian, retrieving the eggs from the uterus and sperm from semen or testicle, the biologists analyse the sperm and select the most healthy one to inject it directly inside the egg.

A few days later, if the embryo (fertilized egg) is being developed in good conditions in the laboratory, it is transferred then into the woman’s uterus.

Fertility is not that huge issue anymore as Medically Assisted Procreation helped thousands of couples get babies.
