Who is applicable to IVF medical treatment?
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF treatment has become the hope for more and more infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams. IVF medical treatment is applicable to a wide range of people. The following is a detailed description of economic conditions, age restrictions, infertility causes and genetic diseases.
economic condition
Compared with traditional natural pregnancy, IVF medical treatment has a higher investment in technology and equipment, so it is more suitable for the following people if economic conditions permit.
First, the couples with middle and high incomes. Because of the high cost of IVF medical care, couples with middle and high incomes can easily pay for medical care without causing too much burden on the family economy.
The second is families that attach importance to childbearing. Some couples have a strong desire to have children and do not want to give up for economic reasons. They are willing to invest in IVF medical treatment, and make up for all these efforts with the arrival of children in their hearts.
In addition, some stars or wealthy families will also use IVF medical means to achieve birth planning. They have sufficient economic strength and can also choose to treat in well-known professional hospitals at home and abroad.
Age limit
Although IVF medical technology can help many couples achieve their reproductive dreams, age limit is still an important factor.
The first is the age of women. Women's ability to conceive naturally gradually declines. Most hospitals generally recommend that IVF medical treatment is applicable to women under 35 years of age, because the quality and quantity of eggs of women after 35 years of age will decrease, resulting in difficult pregnancy. Of course, in some special cases, women over 35 years of age can also be evaluated to determine whether it is suitable for IVF treatment.
The second is the age of men. The quality and quantity of male sperm will also decline with age, but the degree of influence of age is lower than that of female sperm. Generally speaking, men under 60 years old are suitable for IVF medical treatment.
In general, age limit is an important consideration in IVF medical treatment, and doctors will make a comprehensive assessment according to the specific conditions of the couple.
Infertility causes
IVF medical treatment is applicable to a variety of infertility causes. Here are some common infertility causes.
The first is the female factor. Infertility caused by tubal obstruction, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, etc. can be solved through IVF treatment.
The second factor is male. Male infertility problems caused by insufficient sperm production, poor quality or genetic factors can also help couples achieve their reproductive dreams through IVF medical treatment.
In addition, some unexplained infertility can also be achieved through IVF treatment. When couples fail to conceive after a period of natural pregnancy efforts, doctors will recommend them to carry out a comprehensive examination, including blood testing, endocrine testing and genetic testing, to find out the possible causes of infertility and carry out targeted IVF treatment.
Genetic disease
IVF medical treatment can not only help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams, but also prevent the transmission of certain genetic diseases.
If one of the couples has a genetic disease, or both of them are carriers, the risk of children's illness can be reduced through IVF treatment. Doctors can screen embryos with genetic diseases through embryo gene testing, and then select healthy embryos for transplantation, thus reducing the risk of children's disease.
Although IVF medical technology can prevent some genetic diseases, it does not have the ability to screen all genetic diseases at present. Therefore, doctors will decide whether to carry out IVF medical treatment according to the family history of husband and wife and genetic advice.
Summary
IVF medical treatment is applicable to middle - and high-income couples, families that attach importance to fertility, and stars or wealthy families. In terms of age limit, doctors generally recommend IVF treatment for women under 35 years old and men under 60 years old. Infertility causes include female and male factors, as well as unexplained infertility. For the prevention of genetic diseases, IVF can be screened through embryonic gene testing. To sum up, couples with higher hopes and better conditions are more suitable to choose IVF medical treatment to realize their reproductive dreams.
