Question

Methods like artificial insemination and embryo transplant are mainly used for _________.

Answer 1

Infertility is a condition where even after 6 months of unprotected coitus the couple is unable to conceive. Then to help them the assisted reproductive techniques are used.

This contains artificial insemination as well as in vitro fertilization.

Infertility can be due to the inability of the male partner to inseminate the female or due to very low sperm count in the ejaculation. This can be corrected by the artificial insemination technique. In this technique, the semen collected from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced in the vagina or the uterus of the female.

There are techniques of embryo transplant which are known as zygote intrafallopian transfer and intrauterine transfer.

So correct answer is "Infertility"
