Personal health conditions of test tube babies
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method of assisted reproduction to achieve fertility. In order to ensure the healthy development of test tube babies, the couple preparing for the test tube babies need to have certain personal health conditions. The following will elaborate on the individual health conditions of IVF from four aspects: genetic disease detection, physical health, mental health and living habits.
Genetic disease detection
Genetic diseases refer to diseases caused by genetic factors. In order to reduce the risk of IVF suffering from genetic diseases, couples preparing for genetic diseases need to screen and test genes related to genetic diseases. This includes congenital genetic diseases, chromosome abnormalities and single gene diseases. Through genetic counseling and genetic testing, couples can learn whether they are at risk of carrying genetic diseases and avoid passing these diseases on to the next generation.
In addition to genetic disease testing, couples also need to carry out blood type and immune related tests to exclude some blood type conflicts and the impact of immune antibodies on the health of test tube babies.
Some large hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Pediatric Hospital, provide genetic disease detection and genetic counseling services, which can help prepare couples to understand their own genetic diseases.
Physical health
The physical health of the preparation couple is also one of the important conditions to ensure the smooth progress of IVF. Women need to maintain normal menstrual cycle and ovulation function without obvious gynecological diseases. Men need to maintain normal semen parameters, including the number, shape and mobility of sperm. Couples with chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, need to maintain a stable state of disease before IVF, and in serious cases, they may need to give up the IVF program temporarily.
In order to improve their physical health, couples can improve their physical conditions by eating a balanced diet, exercising moderately and adjusting their daily routine. Regular physical examination is also an important means to ensure good health.
mental health
The process of IVF is a psychological and physiological test for couples. Therefore, couples' mental health status has an important impact on the success rate and subsequent development of IVF. Couples need to have good psychological quality, be able to withstand the pressure from relatives, friends and society, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.
Some hospitals have psychological counseling departments that can provide psychological counseling and support, help couples adjust their emotions, reduce anxiety and stress, and improve the success rate of IVF.
habits and customs
The success rate of IVF is also related to the living habits of couples. Divorce, smoking, drinking and other unhealthy lifestyles will affect the healthy development of IVF. Couples should avoid contact with harmful substances, such as chemicals, radiation, etc., and maintain good diet and living habits.
In addition, the success rate of IVF can also be improved by reasonably arranging work and rest time, reducing work pressure and maintaining good sleep quality.
To sum up, the individual health conditions of IVF include genetic disease detection, physical health, mental health and living habits. The success rate and healthy development of IVF can be improved by detecting genetic diseases, maintaining good physical condition, good psychological quality and healthy living habits.
