Answer
Some methods to assist infertile couples to have children are:
- Test tube baby programme:
The ova from the wife/ donor (female) and sperms from the husband/ donor (male) are collected and are induced to form zygote under simulated conditions in the laboratory. Then, zygote produced is then transferred into the fallopian tube of a normal female.
- Gamete Intra fallopian transfer (GIFT):
Transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube of another female who cannot produce ova, but can provide suitable environment for fertilisation.
- Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI):
A sperm is directly injected into the ovum.
- Artificial insemination (Al):
The semen collected either from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus of the female.
