Human Reproductive Technology

Human Reproductive Technology (HRT) includes medical procedures used to assist individuals or couples in achieving pregnancy. This may involve methods like in vitro fertilization (IVF), where eggs are retrieved and fertilized outside the body before being implanted into the uterus. Others include sperm or egg donation, freezing eggs or embryos for future use, and treatments for infertility issues. These technologies help overcome obstacles like blocked tubes, low sperm count, or age-related fertility decline, increasing the chances of conception and enabling family-building options that might not occur naturally.
