Health indicators of second-generation test tube infants
With the continuous development of second-generation IVF technology, more and more couples are able to realize their reproductive dreams. However, the application of IVF technology is not entirely without risks. Therefore, it is very important to understand the health indicators of the second-generation IVF, which will help ensure the healthy growth of children. This article will elaborate the health indicators of the second generation IVF from four aspects: genetic health, growth and development, intellectual development and physical function.
Genetic health
Genetic health is one of the important indicators to measure the health of the second generation IVF. Before IVF, couples can learn about their genetic status and risk of carrying genetic diseases by means of genetic counseling and genetic testing. In some high-risk families, couples may need to carry out gene diagnosis to exclude the risk of genetic diseases through embryo screening or gene editing technology. At the same time, selecting the appropriate donor for sperm or egg donation is also an important link to ensure genetic health.
When selecting suitable donors, the hospital can provide detailed donor information, including gene health status, family genetic history, personal disease history, etc., to help couples make reasonable choices. In addition, scientific embryonic genetic screening technology can also detect whether there are some common and easily detected genetic abnormalities before IVF embryo transfer, so as to further ensure the genetic health of IVF.
Growth and development
The growth and development of test tube babies is one of the important indicators to examine their health status. In the early stage of IVF, the hospital will conduct regular infant growth and development assessment. For example, by measuring the height, weight, head circumference and other indicators of infants, we can understand their growth rate and nutritional status, as well as whether there are abnormalities. In addition, the hospital will also pay attention to the physical signs and development milestones of infants, such as motor ability, language development, etc., and evaluate whether their growth and development are normal by comparing with normal children.
For IVF infants with high risk, the hospital may provide special early intervention and rehabilitation services to promote their growth and development.
Intellectual development
Intellectual development is one of the important indicators to measure children's health. The second-generation IVF babies in China are mostly operated by eugenics centers or large general hospitals, which are equipped with advanced equipment and professional medical teams and can provide full consultation and guidance services.
In terms of intellectual development, hospitals can provide children with intelligence assessment and early intervention services. Through intelligence assessment, doctors can understand children's intelligence level and potential, and formulate corresponding intervention plans based on the assessment results to help children fully develop their potential and prevent intellectual development delay. At the same time, the hospital can also provide services such as children's brain development examination, children's learning ability assessment, and comprehensively understand children's intellectual development.
Physical function
Physical function is one of the important factors to evaluate the health of the second generation IVF infants. The hospital will conduct regular physical examination for children, such as cardiopulmonary function test, muscle strength test, etc. These examinations can comprehensively understand the physical condition and functional development of children, and find and early intervene potential health problems.
For children with physical function problems, the hospital can provide rehabilitation training and treatment services to help them recover or improve their physical function. In addition, regular physical examination can also detect abnormal signs as early as possible, such as children's enuresis, obesity and other problems, so as to take corresponding measures in time.
To sum up, the health indicators of the second generation of IVF mainly include genetic health, growth and development, intellectual development and physical function. Through scientific genetic consultation, embryonic genetic screening, regular growth and development assessment, intellectual development assessment, physical health examination and other means, we can fully understand the health status of infants, and provide targeted professional early intervention and rehabilitation services. Select a regular hospital for IVF operation, and fully communicate with doctors and medical teams, so as to improve the health indicators of IVF as much as possible, while also ensuring the healthy growth of children to the greatest extent.
