The term “test tube baby” refers to a baby conceived through the medical procedure known as In‑Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). Although the name might sound unusual, it simply means that fertilisation happens outside the body — in a specialised laboratory — before the embryo is transferred to the mother’s womb.
When is Test Tube Baby Treatment Recommended?
IVF can be a life‑changing solution in cases such as:
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Severe male infertility (low sperm count or motility)
- Unexplained infertility after years of trying naturally
- Ovulation disorders like PCOS
- Repeated pregnancy loss
- Advanced maternal age, where egg quality may be reduced
