Recent Development of IVF
As an important reproductive medicine technology, IVF technology has made remarkable development in recent years. With the progress of science and technology and the continuous breakthrough of medical research, IVF technology has made new progress in many aspects, and is constantly promoting the development of human reproduction. The following will elaborate on the new progress of IVF in recent years from four aspects.
Improvement of embryo screening technology
Embryo screening is an important part of IVF technology, which aims to select embryos with high genetic advantages for implantation. In recent years, embryo screening technology has made great progress, of which the most significant progress is the improvement of gene detection technology. Through gene testing of embryos, we can screen embryos carrying genetic diseases, improve the success rate of IVF and reduce the risk of transmission of genetic diseases. For example, a hospital recently introduced the whole genome sequencing technology, which can conduct comprehensive gene detection on embryos, improving the accuracy and reliability of embryo screening.
In addition, new progress has also been made in embryo culture technology. The traditional embryo culture is carried out in a petri dish, but now some hospitals use an embryo incubator, which can simulate the environment in the uterus, provide more suitable conditions for the growth of embryos, and further improve the success rate of IVF technology.
Innovation of hormone therapy
Hormone therapy is an indispensable step in IVF technology. In recent years, there have also been new innovations in hormone therapy. Traditional hormone therapy requires multiple injections of hormone drugs, which brings inconvenience and discomfort to patients. However, in recent years, some hospitals have introduced implantable hormone pumps, which can continuously give patients the hormone drugs they need, reducing the number of injections for patients and improving the treatment effect.
In addition, the dosage and scheme of hormone therapy have also been optimized. Individualized hormone therapy can improve the effect and success rate of treatment according to the physiological characteristics and condition of patients. Some hospitals have carried out large-scale clinical research. Through collecting and analyzing the data of patients, they have summarized more scientific and reasonable hormone treatment plans, which provides guarantee for the smooth progress of IVF.
Development of assisted reproductive technology
As the representative of assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology has developed together with other assisted reproductive technologies and promoted the progress of reproductive medicine. In recent years, assisted reproductive technology has made great progress. For example, some hospitals have begun to implement surrogacy technology, providing new solutions for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Through surrogacy technology, couples can conceive their own babies with the help of other people's uterus.
Strengthening of psychological support and consultation
IVF technology has an important impact on the psychological and physical and mental health of couples. In recent years, hospitals have paid more and more attention to the psychological support and counseling of IVF patients. Some hospitals have set up special psychological counseling teams to provide emotional support and professional counseling services for patients to help them cope with anxiety and stress during treatment.
In addition, some hospitals have also set up IVF experience courses to provide couples with the opportunity to share experience with other people with similar experiences, so as to enhance couples' understanding and confidence in IVF technology.
Summary
IVF technology has made remarkable progress in recent years. The improvement of embryo screening technology, the innovation of hormone therapy, the development of assisted reproductive technology, and the strengthening of psychological support and counseling have all provided new guarantees for the success rate and treatment effect of IVF technology. In the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the deepening of medical research, it is believed that IVF technology will make greater breakthroughs in more aspects, bringing more hope and joy to couples who cannot conceive naturally.
