                                               ZIFT 




Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer is a type of assisted reproductive technology used to treat infertility problems in many women. The zygote is prepared in a laboratory and then placed into the Fallopian tube of a woman by a minor surgery called laparoscopy. This technique is also known as Tubal Embryo Transfer.                      

       
ZIFT Technique


  • ZIFT is very useful in the following cases - 
  • Infertility Problem.                                    
  •  low sperm count 
  •  irregular periods  



Procedure -   It will take around five to six weeks for each cycle of ZIFT to complete the procedure. IVF & GIFT also has a similar procedure just like ZIFT but the only difference is that here the zygote is directly transferred into the fallopian tube of a woman through a minor surgery called Laparoscopy.

Let's see the step-by-step procedure for successful ZIFT.


  • The ovary of the female is stimulated by medication so that the chances of getting multiple eggs are increased.

  • In the meanwhile, you have to consult the doctor so that the progress of the follicles can be checked through ultrasound.
     
  • The eggs are then collected through an aspiration method.

  • These eggs are then combined with your spouse's sperm in the laboratory and monitored for fertilization. After fertilization,  a single-cell zygote is formed.
