Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)
The Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) includes medical procedures for treating infertility, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), cryopreservation of gametes or embryos, and fertility medications. ART is often associated with reproductive endocrinology and infertility treatments, and may also be used for genetic purposes, such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Surrogacy agreements may involve ART, but it's not always required. ART is typically considered after more traditional treatments or lifestyle changes have been explored. It may use donor eggs, donor sperm, or frozen embryos.
