Abstract

Couples and individuals with fertility issues often embrace the latest advances in medical research and are open to pursuing novel interventions, even those which have little or no evidence concerning efficacy or safety. Stem cell research and regenerative medicine are among the most controversial areas of medical science that have emerged within the last decade, and hold up the hope of providing a panacea for almost any health issue, including fertility. Here, we provide a brief overview of what the stem cell field can offer to patients facing fertility issues, with the aim of helping patients and physicians to make informed decisions and to have a better insight into possible outcomes.
