Several advanced research institutes and hospitals, including the Royan Research Center and Ibn Sina Infertility Center in Tehran, provide infertility treatment services to both local and international patients. Moreover, other fertility services such as determination of embryo sex (determining of gender) are offered in these centers as well for peoples who choose fertility treatment in Iran.
We are providing you in Hayat Medtour agency, the most effective infertility treatments at the appropriate prices through the knowledge and valuable experiences of physicians and our colleagues in treatment centers.
The Hayat Medtour has presented a number of techniques for treating infertility for couples as follows:
It should be noted that each of these methods is chosen after consultation with an infertility specialist.
In-vitro Fertilization, or simply IVF, is a therapeutic method in which the eggs are being removed from the ovaries and then in a laboratory will be combined with sperms from the partner or a donor. If the fertilization is successful, the resulting embryo or embryos will be transferred to the uterus.
This method is used in all cases where sperm cannot reach the egg in the uterus naturally.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that includes placing the washed sperm into the woman’s uterus to expedite pregnancy conception. The purpose of IUI is to increase the sperm numbers that reach the egg eventually boosts the chances of fertilization.
The IUI is a very simple method and is widely used in assisting fertility. It is used in cases where sperm count or motility is low or immune deficits in the woman have prevented fertility.
Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized form of fertility treatment for severe cases of male-factor infertility. When the husband’s sperms have poor movement (or the count is very low, IVF will not work, as the sperms will not be able to enter the eggs. In these situations, ICSI treatment is the only option, and refers to the laboratory procedure where a single sperm is picked up with a fine glass needle and is injected directly into each egg.
This method is generally used after several failed IVF procedures.
Gift stands for Gamete Intra-fallopian Transfer and is the preparation and monitoring of the growth of eggs and is a procedure very similar to IVF (in-vitro -fertilization).
GIFT is an assisted reproductive procedure that involves picking up a woman’s egg, mixing them with the washed sperm, and immediately placing them into a fallopian tube.
This allows for fertilization to take place in the body naturally.
The use of stem cells extracted from menstrual blood has revolutionized infertility treatment in the past years.
This method can help preserve female fertility and increase the quality and number of eggs in women experiencing early menopause. In people who are reluctant to use donated eggs, infertility treatment with stem cells has raised new hopes that they can become pregnant with their own eggs.
In vitro maturation (IVM) is an experimental infertility treatment that involves the removal of eggs from an ovary before they are fully developed and allowing them to finish their growth process under laboratory conditions and by using hormones and protein derivatives. These “in vitro” matured eggs can then be fertilized. If the fertilization is successful, the resulting embryo or embryos will be transferred to the uterus.
In some cases of infertility such as older women, premature menopause, poor oocytes, lack of ovaries at birth, etc., the egg is not produced and is not treated with prescription drugs or advanced methods of infertility treatment. Therefore, fertility is not possible and donated oocytes are now used by women with many reproductive disorders. In vitro, the donated egg is fertilized by the sperm (Sperm recipient husband), and the embryo formed during this fertilization is transferred to the infertile female uterus.
In the surrogacy method, a woman (surrogate mother) carries the embryo of a couple who are unable to conceive in the usual way. In this method, the mother’s egg is fertilized with the father’s sperm in the laboratory and the resulting embryo is placed in the uterus of another woman who has the ability to have children. The woman holds the embryo in her womb, and after giving birth, the baby is delivered to her parents.
By using embryo donation, couples who are concerned about transmitting their genetic diseases to their children can experience the joy of having healthy children. Also, due to the legal prohibition of sperm donation in some countries, embryo donation is used as a substitute for sperm donation. In these countries, couples who are unable to conceive due to poor sperm quality or lack of sperm in men can use a donated embryo for fertility. In the embryo donation process, the embryo, which is the result of the fertilization of another couple’s sperm and egg, is implanted in the woman’s uterus and develops.
Sperm donation is one of the methods of treating male infertility and is used to treat male infertility caused by zero sperm (azoospermia) or cases with abnormal sperm. If conventional infertility treatments are not successful and the person is unable to produce healthy sperm, a sperm donor can be sought. In these cases, couples who are unable to conceive due to poor sperm quality or lack of sperm can use a donated sperm for fertility.
The laser-assisted hatching is an additional lab technique designed to improve the efficiency of infertility treatments procedures such as IVF &ICSI which enables the embryo to adhere and penetrate into the uterine wall and increase the likelihood of success of assisted reproductive techniques. Hatching can also be used for patients with frozen embryo transfer.
Egg freezing helps women maintain their proper eggs at younger ages in special conditions and used to save women’s ability to get pregnant in the older ages.
Cryopreservation is a process where sperm, oocytes or embryos are preserved by cooling to low sub-zero temperatures.
As part of the IVF process, the woman is given special drugs that cause her ovaries to release more egg cells than normal. The man also gives a high number of sperm cells. With many egg and sperm cells to combine with, several embryos are often made. So, Embryo freezing is a procedure that allows people to store embryos for later use.
One of the main methods in IVF is PGD. Several embryos in IVF procedure are produced and then those with the highest quality are selected through pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) to be transferred to the uterus. PGD is aimed at preventing genetic disorders in babies who are going to be born through IVF and also, gives information regarding the genetic make-up of the embryo prior to implanting them inside the uterus.
At present, there are more than 80 Infertility Treatment Centers licensed by the Ministry of Health that operate in Iran and provide fertility services such as IVF services, ICSI, Induction ovulation, etc. to infertile couples in Iran and around the world.

The following methods can be used to treat infertility in men:
Is it more difficult to treat infertility in men or women?
Determining the cause of infertility and choosing the right treatment is the most important factor in treating infertility and pregnancy. Due to advanced therapies today, there is no significant difference in the outcome of infertility treatment with male and female agents.
It should be noted that in all methods of infertility treatment, ovarian reserve and female age are the most important factors in the success of treatment.
How can we have babies when the fallopian tubes are narrowed?
In women with tubal factor infertility (narrowed fallopian tubes), treatment options include reconstructive surgery and IVF. IVF is more successful than surgery. Therefore, in most women with infertility with tubal factor, IVF treatment is chosen.
Of course, in some situations as well as in couples who are faced with ethical or religious issues or financial constraints and are unwilling or unable to use IVF, surgery is a good option for tuberculosis infertility treatment.
How is infertility diagnosed in men?
The initial diagnosis of male factor infertility should include the correct analysis of at least two semen samples (spermograms). If the sample is abnormal, another semen sample should be analyzed at least 4 weeks apart.
Except for relatively few cases, in the absence of complaints or suspicions of sexual dysfunction, the normal quality of semen generally rejects any major male factor in infertility. In contrast, abnormal semen parameters indicate a need for further evaluation of endocrine, urologic, or genetic.
Semen sample Condition for Testing:
• Avoid sex or ejaculation for 2-3 days before testing
• Sample preparation in a laboratory-specific room (When sampling at home, the sample should be transferred to the laboratory at the same temperature as the human body temperature).
• It is best to take the sample by means of masturbation and pouring directly into the clean container.
• The sample should be examined within one hour of collection.
Can stress cause infertility in men or women?
Daily and regular stress is not a factor in infertility in men and women, but severe stress can have a negative impact on ovulation and embryo implantation.

How Does Thyroid Affect Female Infertility?
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause menstrual irregularities and ovulation disorders. Increasing the intervals between menstruation and even Cessation of menstruation can be a consequence of hyperthyroidism. Bleeding disorders and even Cessation of menstruation and recurrent miscarriages can be a consequence of hypothyroidism.
Therefore, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can be the cause of infertility by ovulation disorders
In what cases is a medicine used to treat infertility in men?
When male infertility occurs due to infectious, hormonal, or sexual dysfunction causes, specific drugs are used. For example, if an infection is diagnosed, appropriate antibiotics will be prescribed, or if a hormonal disorder is diagnosed, hormone therapy will be administered. In some cases, medication is prescribed to strengthen fertility in men and increase the probability of IVF and ICSI success; such as hormonal supplements or vitamins prescribed by a specialist doctor.
In which cases is surgery used to treat male infertility?
Surgeries to treat male infertility are classified into two groups:
Although varicocele is the most common cause of infertility in men, it has different severities; not all cases require surgery.
If varicocele can be detected in the doctor’s examination and the result of the male sperm test is not normal, varicocele surgery is suggested. Of course, you shouldn’t expect miracles from this surgery. If other causes are not involved in infertility, varicocele surgery improves sperm quality in about 70% of cases and leads to natural pregnancy in about 40-45% of cases.
