Which sperm should IVF choose?
IVF is an application of assisted reproductive technology to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In the process of IVF, selecting the right sperm is a very important step. This article will elaborate from four aspects: sperm quality, genetic disease, congenital disease and selection of sperm bank.
Sperm quality
Sperm quality is an important index to evaluate sperm health and fertility. Sperm quality mainly includes sperm quantity, motility and morphology. Choosing high-quality sperm can improve the success rate of IVF. When selecting sperm, the quality of sperm can be evaluated by artificial identification and sperm detection techniques. Some advanced hospitals, such as Beijing XX Hospital, have modern laboratory equipment and experienced experts, which can provide accurate sperm selection services.
The motility is an index to measure the motility of sperm. The higher the motility of sperm, the higher the success rate of fertilization. Morphology refers to the shape and structure of sperm. Normal sperm can better penetrate the egg cell wall and improve the fertilization rate. Therefore, sperm with good motility and normal morphology should be given priority when selecting sperm.
In addition to sperm quantity, motility and morphology, sperm DNA quality also needs to be considered. Some factors, such as age, unhealthy lifestyle and environmental pollution, may lead to sperm DNA damage and affect embryonic development and health. Therefore, when selecting sperm, we can consider high-quality sperm through DNA fragment detection to improve the success rate of IVF.
Genetic disease
Hereditary disease is a kind of disease that is transmitted to offspring through genes. In IVF, selecting healthy sperm can reduce the risk of genetic diseases. In order to ensure the health of offspring, couples can conduct genetic counseling and genetic testing. The occurrence of genetic diseases can be avoided by screening sperm carrying genetic disease genes in advance. Hospitals, such as a hospital in Guangzhou, provide gene screening services to help couples select sperm that do not carry genetic disease genes.
In addition, some familial diseases can also be avoided by selecting appropriate sperm. Familial disease is a genetic disease that only exists in certain families. Choosing the right sperm can reduce the risk of passing on familial disease to the next generation. Hospitals, such as a certain hospital in Shanghai, provide genetic identification services for familial diseases, which can help couples select sperm that does not carry familial disease genes.
Congenital disease
Congenital diseases refer to diseases caused by genetic or environmental factors during the development of embryos. Choosing high-quality sperm can reduce the incidence of congenital diseases. When selecting sperm, the risk of carrying gene defects can be considered. Some hospitals, such as a hospital in Chengdu, provide embryo screening services, which can detect whether embryos carry congenital disease genes through PGD technology, so as to select healthy embryos to replace.
Selection of sperm bank
If there is no suitable sperm donor, couples can consider selecting sperm from the sperm bank. The sperm bank is an organization that provides sperm samples. When selecting the sperm in the sperm bank, the donor's health status, family history, sperm quality and other factors can be considered. Some hospitals, such as a hospital in Shanghai, have a sperm bank and a special consulting team to help couples choose suitable sperm.
In conclusion, selecting suitable sperm is very important for the success rate of IVF and the health of offspring. When selecting sperm, we should consider sperm quality, genetic disease, congenital disease and selection of sperm bank. Through comprehensive consideration of these factors, couples can choose appropriate sperm, improve the success rate of IVF, reduce the risk of disease, and achieve healthy reproductive aspirations.
