IVF & Fertility Treatments
Ker 4 Me helps connect and facilitate your care with experienced IVF and fertility specialists practising in South Africa.
Below are the safe and commonly performed fertility treatments available in South Africa:
Types of Fertility Treatments
IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation
A assisted reproductive technology where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryos are carefully cultured before one or more are transferred to the uterus—offering hope and a proven path to parenthood for individuals and couples facing fertility challenges.
ICSI - Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
An advanced assisted reproductive technique where a single, healthy sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of a mature egg. Performed as part of an IVF cycle, ICSI overcomes male factor infertility, including low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology—maximizing the chance of successful fertilization.
A fertility preservation method where mature eggs are retrieved, vitrified, and stored for future use. Allows women to preserve their reproductive potential by freezing eggs at their current quality, providing flexibility for delayed childbearing or protecting fertility before medical treatments that may impact ovarian function.
Embryo and Sperm Cryopreservation
A process that preserves embryos and sperm through advanced vitrification or slow-freezing techniques. Biological material is carefully cooled to sub-zero temperatures and stored indefinitely, maintaining viability for future family building, fertility preservation, or donation purposes.
Physiological Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
An advanced sperm selection technique that mimics the body's natural fertilization process. Sperm are exposed to hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally surrounding the egg—allowing only mature, DNA-intact sperm to bind and be selected for injection. Enhances the likelihood of selecting physiologically competent sperm for improved fertilization and embryo development
Oocyte Banking
Intra-Uterine Insemination
Specialized surgical procedures designed to repair damage caused by athletic activity. Addresses torn ligaments, fractured bones, damaged cartilage, and tendon injuries using advanced techniques—with the goal of restoring function, stability, and strength for safe return to sport and activity.
Assisted Hatching
A specialized embryology technique where a small opening is created in the outer shell (zona pellucida) of an embryo prior to transfer. This micro-manipulation helps the embryo "hatch" more easily from its shell, facilitating implantation into the uterine lining—particularly beneficial for older patients, previously frozen embryos, or those with recurrent implantation failure.
