What is the success rate of test tube babies with weak semen?
With the increase of living pressure and environmental factors, male infertility is becoming more and more common. For some male patients with asthenospermia, IVF technology has become a choice for them to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, whether asthenospermia affects the success rate of IVF remains controversial. This article will elaborate on the success probability of IVF from four aspects: semen quality, inverted testicle section technology, embryo quality assessment and hospital technology level.
Semen quality
Semen quality is an important index to evaluate male fertility, including sperm density, sperm motility, sperm morphology, etc. For asthenospermia patients, the semen quality may be significantly lower than that of normal people, which has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. However, the progress of modern medical technology makes it possible for even weak sperm to successfully fertilize and develop into embryos. Some high-quality hospitals can use high-speed centrifugation and screening technology of sperm to select better quality sperm for operation, thus improving the implantation rate and pregnancy rate.
In addition, for some patients with abnormal sperm morphology, such as head sperm malformation and tail sperm malformation, the hospital can also use special technical means, such as single sperm injection technology (ICSI), to directly inject healthy sperm into the egg, so as to improve the success rate of IVF.
Inverted testicle sectioning technique
Among the male infertility problems caused by asthenospermia, some patients may be caused by inverted testicles. Inverted testis is a common reproductive system disease, its pathological feature is the lack of mature sperm in the testis. In this case, patients often need to obtain better sperm by inverted testicular section technology. However, due to the pathological characteristics of the inverted testis, the success rate of IVF is relatively low.
However, some professional reproductive hospitals have adopted a series of advanced technical means to improve the success rate of IVF for patients with inverted testicles. For example, in the process of inverted testicle sectioning, doctors can select high-quality sperm and inject it directly into the egg through ICSI technology to improve the fertilization rate and embryo implantation rate.
Embryo quality assessment
The success of IVF is also closely related to embryo quality. In natural circumstances, high-quality embryos can be more easily implanted and develop into healthy babies. However, for patients with asthenospermia, embryo quality may be affected to some extent.
In order to improve the quality evaluation of embryos, hospitals often use auxiliary technologies, such as embryo time marching system (TLM), embryo image analysis system, etc. With the help of these technologies, doctors can comprehensively evaluate the embryo from its shape, development speed, cell division and other aspects, and select the most promising embryo for transplantation. In this way, even asthenospermia patients can increase the success rate of IVF.
Hospital technical level
The technical level of IVF determines the success rate of IVF with weak sperm to a certain extent. At present, there are many famous reproductive hospitals at home and abroad. They have first-class technical equipment and professional medical teams, and can provide high-quality medical services for patients.
For example, Boston Children's Hospital in the United States and the IVF Center of Monash University in Australia are internationally renowned reproductive hospitals. In these hospitals, patients can not only enjoy the advanced IVF technology, but also receive professional guidance and personalized treatment plans to improve the success rate of IVF.
Summary
To sum up, the success rate of IVF with weak semen is closely related to semen quality, inverted testicle section technology, embryo quality assessment, hospital technology level and other factors. For patients with asthenospermia, choosing a professional reproductive hospital and using advanced technical means can maximize the success rate of IVF and realize their reproductive aspirations.
