Track: Reproductive Health and Infertility

Gynecology 2025

Recent advancements in Reproductive Health and Infertility have revolutionized the field, offering new solutions to the increasing challenges faced by individuals trying to conceive. Key innovations include refined assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), egg/sperm freezing, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). There's also growing focus on fertility preservation for cancer patients, personalized treatment plans based on genetic and hormonal profiles, and minimally invasive approaches to diagnose and treat infertility. Additionally, the role of lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and the management of reproductive health conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis are increasingly being integrated into treatment strategies, allowing for more holistic care.

Advances in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):
This sub-track focuses on innovations in technologies like in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and cryopreservation. It will explore how these advancements have improved success rates and accessibility, including AI applications in embryo selection and novel ovarian stimulation protocols.

Male Infertility: Diagnosis and Treatment:
This sub-track explores advancements in understanding and treating male infertility, including improved diagnostic tools, sperm retrieval techniques, and experimental approaches like stem-cell therapy to address severe cases such as azoospermia.

Hormonal Imbalances and Their Impact on Fertility:
Sessions will focus on how conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and thyroid dysfunction affect reproductive health. Emerging therapies and hormonal treatments designed to restore balance and improve fertility outcomes will be highlighted.

Immunological and Alloimmune Infertility:
This sub-track investigates the role of immune system dysfunctions in infertility, including autoimmune disorders, alloimmune responses, and their implications for implantation and recurrent pregnancy loss.

Genetic and Epigenetic Factors in Reproductive Health:
This sub-track delves into the role of genetics in infertility, covering Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) for identifying chromosomal abnormalities and CRISPR technology for correcting genetic defects. Discussions will also address epigenetic factors influencing fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

Endometriosis and Reproductive Challenges:
Focusing on the impact of endometriosis on infertility, this sub-track will explore improved diagnostic methods, surgical interventions, and medical therapies to enhance fertility outcomes for affected individuals.
