Reproductive Technology To Solve Infertility Problems
The credit for India’s first test tube baby goes to Dr Indra Hinduja.
Some persons claimed that India’s (Asia’s) first and world’s only
second test tube baby was born in Kolkata on 3 October 1978.
Previously, her name was Durga (now her name is Kanupriya
Agarwal). The man behind this pioneering effort was Dr Subhas
Mukherjee.
Best results are obtained when the motile sperm count is more than
10 million. The fertilising capacity of spermatozoa (sperms) is for
24-48 hours. The procedure may be repeated 2-3 times over a
period of 2- 3 days.
The result varies in different centres, ranging 20-40 per cent. IUI
along with super ovulation gives higher.

Surrogate Mother:
A developing embryo is implanted in the uterus of another female.
A woman who substitutes or takes the place of the real mother to
nurse the embryo is called surrogate mother. Embryo transplants
are more useful in animals than in humans.
