Fertility treatments are medical interventions to help with conception, ranging from medication and surgery to advanced procedures like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Treatments are often tailored to the specific cause of infertility, which can involve hormonal issues, structural problems, or ovulation difficulties. Less invasive options include fertility drugs to promote ovulation and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), where sperm is directly placed in the uterus. More complex treatments like IVF combine medical procedures with specialized laboratory work, where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body before being implanted in the uterus.
