About 12-15 % of couples of reproductive age are disturbed by infertility. What is the actual reason behind infertility? What are the different infertility treatments? We will discuss IVF, GIFT, and ZIFT in this section.
When a man or woman is incapable to contribute fully to pregnancy even after insecure coitus, it is referred to as infertility. Reason for infertility may be known or unknown. Mostly ovulation variation in women is the main reason for infertility. In males, insufficient sperm production or genetic defects etc, are the reasons for infertility.
Infertility can be solved with the help of processes like in vitro fertilization (IVF), zygote intra-fallopian transfer (ZIFT), and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) etc.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a collection of medical manipulation methods to circumvent infertility. The methods include gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), in vitro fertilization (IVF), zygote intra-fallopian transfer (ZIFT), embryo transfer (ET), etc. These all methods aim to increase pregnancy probability to its full term. Cost of treatment and time consumption is counted as two disadvantages of ART.

This method is commonly performed in case of women with damaged or clogged Fallopian tubes.
