This section provides factual reference information on medical and dental procedures commonly sought through medical tourism. Each procedure page includes international price ranges, typical recovery times, common risks, key considerations, and questions you should ask any clinic before proceeding.
Price ranges reflect what international patients typically pay at clinics abroad — not domestic costs in the US, UK, or other high-income countries. Prices vary significantly by country, clinic, surgeon experience, and specific clinical requirements. Always confirm what is and is not included in any quoted price.
IVF & Fertility
Donor Egg IVFivf fertility
Egg donation is the process by which a woman donates eggs to enable another woman to conceive as part of an assisted reproduction treatment or for biomedical research. For assisted reproduction purposes, egg donation typically involves in vitro fertilization technology, with the eggs being fertilized in the laboratory; more rarely, unfertilized eggs may be frozen and stored for later use.
Donor Sperm IVFivf fertility
Sperm donation is the provision by a male of their sperm with the intention that it be used in the artificial insemination or other "fertility treatment" of one or more females who are not their sexual partners in order that they may become pregnant. Where pregnancies go to full term, the sperm donor will be the biological father of every baby born from their donations.
Egg Freezingivf fertility
Oocyte cryopreservation is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used to preserve human eggs (oocytes). The technique is often used to protect against future infertility or delaying childbearing: when pregnancy is desired, the eggs can be thawed, fertilized, and transferred to the uterus as embryos.
Embryo Donationivf fertility
Embryo donation is one disposition option for users of in vitro fertilisation with remaining fresh or frozen embryos. It is defined as the giving—generally without compensation—of embryos remaining after in vitro fertilization procedures to recipients for procreative implantation or research.
Frozen Embryo Transferivf fertility
Embryo transfer refers to a step in the process of assisted reproduction in which embryos are placed into the uterus of a female with the intent to establish a pregnancy. This technique - which is often used in connection with in vitro fertilization (IVF) - may be used in humans or in other animals, in which situations and goals may vary.
ICSIivf fertility
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure in which a single sperm cell is injected directly into the cytoplasm of an egg. This technique is used in order to prepare the gametes for the obtention of embryos that may be transferred to a maternal uterus.
In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)ivf fertility
IVF involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving those eggs, fertilising them with sperm in a laboratory, and transferring resulting embryos to the uterus. A single cycle typically spans 4-6 weeks. Success rates vary significantly by age, clinic, and protocol used.

PGT-Aivf fertility
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is the genetic profiling of embryos prior to implantation, and sometimes even of oocytes prior to fertilization. PGD is considered in a similar fashion to prenatal diagnosis.
PGT-Mivf fertility
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is the genetic profiling of embryos prior to implantation, and sometimes even of oocytes prior to fertilization. PGD is considered in a similar fashion to prenatal diagnosis.
Surrogacyivf fertility
Surrogacy is an arrangement whereby a woman gets pregnant and gives birth on behalf of another person or couple who will become the child's legal parents after birth. People pursue surrogacy for a variety of reasons such as infertility, dangers or undesirable factors of pregnancy, or when pregnancy is a medical impossibility.
