Risk Assessment Of In-Vitro Fertilization, Review Article
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since its remarkable inception in 1978, IVF has garnered significant public interest. Currently, assisted reproductive technology is widely accessible in most developed countries, and the methods employed have significantly evolved since its inception. Advancements in laboratory technology and clinical practice have enabled IVF to develop into a medical process that is highly efficient, safe, easily accessible, and comparatively affordable. Over 2 million children conceived by IVF have been born so far, and it is probable that ongoing improvements will increase its attractiveness and suitability. There has been a rising interest in the topic of risk assessment in IVF in recent years, with a significant amount of research focused on detecting and reducing the potential dangers linked to the operation. This review article seeks to offer a thorough and all-encompassing analysis of the present understanding of risk assessments in IVF, encompassing the diverse range of risks and complications linked to the operation.
