It is the inability to produce children in spite of unprotected sexual contact.

The region of infertility could be physical, congenital diseases, drugs, immunological or even psychological .

Specialized health care units called infertility clinics could help in diagnosis and corrective treatment of some of these disorders.

The infertile couple could be assisted to have children through certain special techniques called assisted reproductive technologies(ART) .

In this method ova from the wife/donor and the sperm from the husband/donor are collected and induced to form zygote in laboratory. This process is called in-vitro fertilisation(IVF).

The zygote or embryo up to 8 blastomere is transferred into the fallopian tube. The process is called zygote intra fallopian transfer (ZIFT) or embryo more than 8 blastomere is transferred into uterus called intra-uterine transfer (IUT).

In this technique ovum is collected from a donor is transferred into the fallopian tube of another female who cannot produce egg/ovum but can provide suitable environment for fertilisation and further development of the embryo.

It is a procedure to form an embryo in the laboratory by directly injected the sperm into an ovum.

This technique is used in case where the male is unable to inseminate sperms in the female reproductive tract or due to very low sperm count in the ejaculation.

In this method the semen collected either from husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced into the vagina or into the uterus (intra uterine insemination or IUI.

This technique is used in case where the male is unable to inseminate sperms in the female reproductive tract or due to very low sperm count in the ejaculation.
