Four aspects of IVF selection
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which enables couples who are difficult to conceive to realize their dreams of childbirth. However, before IVF, couples need to consider a series of factors to choose the most suitable way and hospital. This article will elaborate on the selection of IVF from four aspects.
1. Select formal institutions and professional hospitals
IVF requires complex medical operations, so it is very important to choose a formal institution and professional hospital. Both husband and wife should choose hospitals with high-level doctors and advanced equipment. For example, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is a world-famous IVF center.
In addition, the husband and wife can also refer to the experience and reputation evaluation of other people to understand the success rate of the hospital and patient satisfaction. By choosing a professional hospital, both husband and wife can improve the chances of success of IVF.
In addition, some countries and regions will have legal provisions on IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies, and the legitimacy of babies after birth also needs to be considered. Therefore, the choice of legal and compliant hospitals and regions is also an issue that both husband and wife should pay attention to.
2. Analyze the success rate of the hospital
Both husband and wife should understand the success rate of IVF in the hospital. The success rate of the hospital can be known by consulting the public data and reports of the hospital. For example, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in the UK will publish the success rate of each hospital.
At the same time, the husband and wife can also refer to the historical data of the hospital to understand the experience and professional level of the hospital in treating IVF. The success rate of hospitals is one of the important reference indicators for selecting hospitals.
In addition, the husband and wife can communicate with the doctor to understand the professional background and experience of the doctor, as well as the technology and treatment plan of the hospital. Through a comprehensive analysis of the success rate of the hospital, both husband and wife can improve the possibility of success of IVF.
3. Consider technologies matching personal conditions
There are many kinds of IVF technology, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo continuous culture. Both husband and wife need to choose the most appropriate technology according to their own conditions and problems.
For example, if women have problems such as blocked fallopian tubes, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be more suitable. If the quality of male sperm is poor, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be a better choice.
In addition, some advanced IVF technologies such as PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) can screen genetic diseases of embryos. Both husband and wife can choose appropriate technology according to their own genetic status.
4. Consider all expenses and supporting services
Test tube baby is an expensive medical service. Both husband and wife should consider the full range of costs and supporting services. The expenses mainly include medical expenses, IVF related examination and drug expenses, hospitalization expenses, etc. Both husband and wife need to know the charging standards and items provided by the hospital, and whether follow-up and support services are included.
At the same time, the couple should also understand the refund policy and security measures of the hospital. Some hospitals may provide retry opportunities or refund policies after IVF failure.
To sum up, the selection of IVF should first select formal institutions and professional hospitals, and analyze the success rate of hospitals. At the same time, technology matching personal conditions, as well as comprehensive fees and supporting services should be considered. Through comprehensive consideration of the above four aspects, both husband and wife can choose the most appropriate IVF mode and hospital to improve the success rate and realize their desire for fertility.
