THE ROLE AND PROSPECTS OF IN VITRO FERTILIZATION (IVF) TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TREATMENT OF INFERTILITY

Аннотация

Infertility has become one of the most pressing global health challenges in recent decades, affecting millions of couples of reproductive age. In vitro fertilization (IVF) technology, a major breakthrough in reproductive medicine, has provided hope and opportunity for families struggling with infertility. This study aims to evaluate the role and future prospects of IVF technologies in the treatment of infertility between 2020 and 2024, focusing on both clinical and technological advancements. Statistical data from leading reproductive centers and international health organizations were analyzed to assess success rates, patient outcomes, and emerging trends. Our findings indicate that global IVF success rates have steadily increased from 33% in 2020 to nearly 42% in 2024, primarily due to advancements in embryo selection, cryopreservation techniques, and artificial intelligence integration in laboratory procedures.
