What are Common Histological Techniques Used in Fertility Treatments?
Several histological techniques are pivotal in fertility treatments:
Biopsy: A small sample of tissue is taken and examined under a microscope to check for abnormalities. Immunohistochemistry: This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue samples, helping to identify issues like endometriosis or poor ovarian reserve. Histopathology: This involves the study of diseased tissue, which can reveal conditions affecting fertility, such as PCOS or male factor infertility.
