a. In-Vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are the two most popular ARTs for a successful fertilization. They are identical procedures apart from the way the egg is fertilized. IVF allows the sperm to penetrate the egg on its own accord whereas ICSI directly inserts the sperm into the egg.

b. PGS

It is recommended for couples with a history of unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage and failed IVF/ICSI procedures.

c. IUI

d. Testicular Biopsy
A testicular biopsy is a test to remove a small sample of tissue from one or both testicles. The tissue is then looked at under a microscope to see if the man is able to father a child. … The testes produce sperm (which is needed for reproduction) and male hormones, such as testosterone.
