Which of the following are fertility treatments?

• A. Hormone replacement therapy
• B. Physical therapy
• C. IVF, superovulation
• D. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy

Answer: (C)

Fertility treatments are medical methods designed to help achieve pregnancy, often by directly assisting conception rather than just managing general health. The best example here is IVF combined with superovulation. Superovulation uses medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, increasing the chance of fertilization. IVF then collects those eggs, fertilizes them with sperm in the lab, and transfers the resulting embryos into the uterus, directly facilitating pregnancy even when natural conception isn’t possible. The other options aren’t fertility treatments: hormone replacement therapy addresses hormone deficiencies but isn’t aimed at achieving conception; physical therapy focuses on movement and rehabilitation; radiotherapy and chemotherapy are cancer treatments that can affect fertility rather than help restore it.
