Test tube baby and ligation
Ligation is a means of contraception. The oviduct or vas deferens are ligated by surgery to prevent the combination of sperm and eggs, so as to achieve the purpose of contraception. However, some couples may regret their decision to have children after ligation and hope to realize their dreams through IVF. IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to have children through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. So, can we carry out IVF after ligation? The following is detailed from four aspects.
1. Reversibility of ligation
Reversibility of ligation is the primary condition for IVF. Some hospitals provide reversible ligation surgery, that is, to open the ligation site through surgery, so that the fallopian tube and vas deferens can be restored and unobstructed. However, ligation is a surgical operation, and the function of ovary and testis may change after operation, so the reversibility of ligation is not 100% successful. Before deciding to carry out IVF, couples should consult a professional doctor to understand the reversibility of ligation and the success rate of resuscitation.
In addition, some hospitals provide irreversible ligation surgery, that is, by removing a segment of the fallopian tube or vas deferens, to avoid re conception. In this case, IVF is the only option.
2. Progress in reproductive medicine
With the progress of reproductive medicine, the success rate of IVF technology is increasing. In the process of IVF, doctors can puncture the ovary under the guidance of ultrasound to collect eggs and fertilize them with sperm in vitro. After culture and screening, healthy embryos are transferred to the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy. Even if the fallopian tube or vas deferens are ligated, the implementation of IVF will not be affected. Therefore, couples after ligation can realize their fertility wishes through IVF technology.
3. Psychological and economic considerations
The IVF method requires certain psychological preparation and financial support. IVF surgery requires a series of medical examinations and treatments, including drug treatment, egg collection, embryo culture, etc. These processes not only have a certain impact on the physical condition of the couple, but also need to pay a higher economic cost. Before deciding to carry out IVF, couples should consider their own psychological and economic conditions, whether they can bear such a burden, and make long-term psychological preparations.
4. Selection of doctors and professional suggestions
Before deciding on IVF, couples should choose trusted hospitals and professional doctors. The doctor will evaluate the feasibility of IVF according to the specific conditions of the couple, including age, ligation method and other factors. The doctor may recommend a series of examinations to assess female ovarian function, male sperm quality, etc. Under the guidance of doctors, couples can better understand the possibility and risk of IVF after ligation, and make correct decisions.
summary
Ligation does not affect couples' desire to have children through IVF. However, before deciding to carry out IVF, couples need to consider the reversibility of ligation, psychological and economic preparation, and the professional advice of doctors. Only with full understanding and evaluation can couples make correct decisions and prepare for future childbearing.
