One married couple in six confronts infertility. Although infertility
is clinically defined as the inability to conceive a pregnancy
after one year of unprotected intercourse, some couples warrant
earlier diagnosis and treatment. There are many causes. Fortunately,
advances in reproductive research and technology offer many
encouraging treatment options for infertile couples who wish
to start or enlarge their families.
Since fertility, especially in the female, begins to decrease
after the age of 30, successful treatment usually correlates
with prompt and timely, effective reproductive health care.
For half of infertile couples, long established medical treatment
or surgical procedures successfully treat the problem. Other
couples may need more advanced treatment modalities, such as
in vitro fertilization / assisted reproductive technology (IVF/ART).
Since 1988, Reproductive Resource Center has earned widespread
recognition and nationwide respect as a leader in assisted reproductive
technologies.
Reproductive Resource Center of Greater Kansas City was
established as a multi-disciplinary practice which focuses every
capacity of science, technology and the healing arts for couples
experiencing infertility.
The Center is an approved member of the Society for Assisted
Reproductive Technology (S.A.R.T.).
Since our creation in 1988, there have been over 10,000 babies
born from all therapies, and over 2,500 babies born as
a result of assisted reproductive technology (ART) provided
by our center. |
