It is clear that assisted reproduction techniques have revolutionised reproductive medicine, as demonstrated by both the Nobel Prize awarded to Robert Edwards for the birth of the world’s first test‑tube baby in 1978, as well as the more than 8 million children brought into this world thanks to in vitro fertilisation since then. But […]
Human reproduction is a very complex process: it involves several stages, all of which need to go as planned, but that sometimes don’t turn out as we had hoped. An example? A couple undergoing assisted reproduction treatment, specifically in Vitro Fertilisation, transfers very good quality embryos to an endometrium which appears to be normal, but they don’t achieve […]

For many of our patients at URE Centro Gutenberg, it’s the most anticipated step: the instant that could confirm that all the waiting, effort and hope have been worth it. But one of the most common questions we hear is: “When […]
One of the causes of female infertility is what we call “tubal factor infertility” in medicine. What does it involve? So‑called “tubal factor infertility” is the incorrect functioning of the fallopian tubes due to malformations, lack of permeability or flexibility or the absence of fallopian tubes after having them surgically removed. This poor functioning of the […]
When we talk about primary infertility we are referring to couples who have not been able to conceive after a year of having sexual intercourse without using birth control methods. This period of time, in fact, is shorter for women over 37 years of age ( six months) In this regard, the male factor represents […]
It’s a reality that overweight and obesity are increasingly more common in developed countries. These conditions are also associated with many health issues.
