Causes of IVF
IVF, a method of culturing fertilized eggs in the laboratory and transplanting them into the mother's body through artificial assisted reproduction technology, has attracted more and more infertile couples to seek fertility opportunities due to its unique medical processing nature. The following will elaborate on the reasons for IVF from four aspects: medical needs, scientific and technological progress, psychological factors and socio-economic factors.
Medical needs
On the one hand, the increase of infertility makes more and more couples seek assisted reproductive technology. According to statistics, the number of infertile couples is increasing year by year worldwide. Test tube baby technology provides fertility opportunities for infertile couples and has become one of the most important medical needs. IVF can solve the problems of couples who cannot conceive naturally due to reproductive problems such as female fallopian tube blockage, uterine abnormalities and male semen abnormalities.
On the other hand, genetic diseases are also an important medical demand of IVF technology. Some couples may carry the gene of some genetic disease, and they hope to carry out genetic diagnosis on the fertilized eggs in the laboratory through IVF technology, so as to select healthy fertilized eggs to transplant into the mother. This way can help reduce the risk of genetic diseases and provide security for the health of newborns.
Scientific and technological progress
The success of IVF technology benefits from the progress of science and technology and the development of laboratory technology. With the breakthrough of biotechnology and the improvement of laboratory equipment, IVF technology has become more safe and reliable. The conditions for cultivating fertilized eggs have been optimized, and embryo transfer technology has become more precise and meticulous. In addition, the progress of gene diagnosis and screening technology has greatly improved the accuracy of selecting healthy embryos. Scientific and technological progress has provided a solid foundation for the success of IVF technology.
In addition, the rapid development of IVF technology has also attracted more and more hospitals and professional institutions to participate in it. For example, well-known medical institutions at home and abroad, such as the Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in China and the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States, all have IVF specialties to provide high-level assisted reproductive services. The professionalization of the hospital and the reserve of the expert team provide couples with better fertility choices and consultation services.
psychological factor
Behind IVF lies the "parent-child psychological needs" of couples, which is also one of the important reasons why they seek IVF technology. For couples who want to have children, the failure of natural pregnancy or inability to conceive naturally will bring them great psychological pressure and pain. Through IVF technology, couples can realize their desire to have children, alleviate anxiety and psychological burden, and gain experience of parent-child relationship, thus enhancing family harmony and stability.
In addition, IVF technology also provides fertility opportunities for couples who marry late and have children late. For various reasons, more and more people choose to postpone childbearing, and women's fertility will decline with age. In the case of difficult traditional natural pregnancy, IVF technology has become an effective way to solve the problem of late childbearing, giving couples who marry late and have late childbearing more opportunities to choose.
Socio economic factors
With the development of social economy, the change of childbearing concept makes more couples have higher expectations for childbearing. The economic prosperity and the improvement of life quality make people expect to have a more complete family, and the inability to conceive naturally may become an obstacle to their pursuit of happiness. The emergence of IVF technology meets the needs of these couples and provides them with a feasible solution.
With the support of national policies, IVF technology has been widely promoted in the field of medical services. The popularization of various fertility assistance technologies and the improvement of social security policies have gradually reduced the cost of IVF technology, further stimulating social and economic needs.
Summary:
To sum up, the reasons for IVF mainly include medical needs, scientific and technological progress, psychological factors and socio-economic factors. The development and application of IVF technology have been promoted by infertile couples seeking fertility opportunities, screening of genetic diseases, scientific and technological progress and the development of laboratory technology, psychological pressure and late marriage and late childbirth, as well as socio-economic development and changes in fertility concepts. IVF technology brings new hope and happiness to couples by meeting their reproductive needs and providing more choices.
