Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) including In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
The IVF process can be broken down into 5 general steps:
Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Endometriosis
Endometriosis may be treated with hormone therapy, surgery, or both. A physician may decide to remove the tissue during the laparoscopy, or first have a biopsy analyzed by the laboratory. Hormone therapy, including oral contraceptives, may also be used alone or in combination with surgery to manage the disease.
