The peak power of uterine peristalses after sacral surface electrical stimulation (ssES) treatment decreased markedly in comparison with that measured before ssES on the day of embryo transfer (ET). This suppression effect of uterine peristalses was stronger on day 5 of ET than on day 3. Because the uterus at the time of ET is sensitive to ssES, this electrical neuromodulation may be an effective method to induce uterine relaxation for ET.

In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...
