Question

Which ART method is most appropriate for a woman with blocked fallopian tubes?

Options

• ZIFT

• GIFT

• IVF

• IUI

Answer 1

IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is the most appropriate ART method for women with blocked or damaged fallopian tubes because fertilisation occurs outside the body in a laboratory culture medium, completely bypassing the need for functional fallopian tubes. The embryo is then transferred directly into the uterus. In contrast, ZIFT and GIFT both require at least one healthy, functional fallopian tube for transfer or fertilisation.
