Assisted Reproduction is a medical procedure that facilitates the union of Ovum and Spermatozoon for the purposes of achieving fertilization.
These processes generally serve to help infertile and sterile couples conceive a child.
Several procedures are possible: hormonal treatments, artificial insemination, in vetro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
