B. When ovary does not release egg
C. When sperms cannot reach the egg for fertilization
D. None of above
Solution
Hint In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is the process of fertilising eggs outside of the body in a controlled environment. In 1977, at Bourne Hall in Cambridge, England, IVF was successfully utilised for human infertility for the first time.
Complete step by step answer:
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a sophisticated set of treatments used to aid in the creation of a child or to help with fertility or to prevent genetic abnormalities.
In IVF, mature eggs are extracted from the ovaries and fertilised in a laboratory with sperm. The fertilised egg or eggs are then transported to a uterus for further development. IVF takes roughly three weeks to complete. When these processes are broken down into smaller chunks, the procedure can take longer.
Why is IVF performed?
Damage to or obstruction of the fallopian tube. Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes make it difficult for an egg to be fertilised or for an embryo to reach the uterus.
Ovulation problems are very common. When ovulation is irregular or non-existent, there are fewer eggs accessible for fertilisation.
Sperm production or function is hampered. Sperm concentrations that are below average, sperm motility that is poor, or abnormalities in sperm size and shape can all make it difficult for sperm to fertilise an egg.
In vitro fertilisation occurs when a woman's egg is extracted from her body and fertilised by her husband's sperm outside of her body. The couples that gain the most from in vitro fertilisation are those in which the woman produces normal eggs and the man produces normal sperm but the passage between them is closed, most usually due to injury or removal of the fallopian tubes.
As a result, option C is the proper response.
Note: If more than one embryo is transplanted to your uterus during IVF, you're more likely to have several children. Pregnancy with multiple foetuses increases the risk of early labour and low birth weight compared to a single foetus pregnancy.
