Abstract

Infertility is considered to be an increasingly common. It may affect the rate of Thai population in the future. The causes of this increase are multifactorial such as: delayed marriage, delayed child planning especially for working-age people. The success rate for treating infertility depends on the cause of infertility. Therefore, it is important to prioritize the assessment of spouses before treatment to find out the cause of infertility completely female and male. Currently, the assisted reproductive technology is used to assist in the treatment of infertility and to increase the rate of pregnancy, including In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Moreover the assisted reproductive technology has led to the development of diagnostic for genetic abnormalities such as Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) or PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) before transferring the embryo back to the uterus. To prevent genetic abnormalities in the offspring of a spouse carrying a genetic disease.
