What are the prerequisites for IVF
IVF, also known as assisted reproductive technology, has become an advanced medical means to help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, this technology is not suitable for everyone. The following are the prerequisites for IVF success.
1. The baby suffers from irreversible disease or infertility
IVF technology is mainly applicable to two types of couples: one is that one of the couples suffers from irreversible diseases, such as fallopian tube blockage or loss, and the quality of male sperm is low; Second, the couple failed to conceive naturally for a long time, that is, infertility. First of all, IVF is a viable option only when the diagnostic doctor has confirmed that it is impossible to conceive naturally.
At the same time, couples also need to undergo a series of physical examinations to determine whether it is suitable for IVF. Women need to confirm that there is enough ovarian reserve and normal uterus, while men need to check the quantity and quality of sperm.
In addition, couples should consider the physical and mental health of their children, as well as the problems that may arise with the growth of age. They should fully understand the possible impact of this technology on their children and fully discuss it with doctors.
2. Economic and psychological preparation
IVF is an expensive medical technology, involving a series of costs, including medical examination, drug costs, surgery costs and subsequent care costs. Couples should make a comprehensive assessment of their financial situation and determine whether they can afford these expenses.
In addition, IVF will also bring great psychological pressure to couples. The whole process requires close cooperation and consistent psychological preparation between the husband and wife. Couples should take into account possible failures and setbacks, as well as related emotional problems, and be prepared to deal with them.
Before IVF, couples can consider seeking help from psychological counseling to cope with possible negative emotions and pressures.
3. Appropriate medical institutions and doctors
IVF is a complex medical technology that requires high-level doctors and equipment support. Couples should choose a hospital or reproductive medical institution with experience and good reputation.
These medical institutions usually have special IVF centers equipped with high-quality laboratories and equipment to ensure the highest possible success rate. At the same time, doctors' experience and technical level are also important considerations in selecting medical institutions.
Couples can consult other couples who have had IVF to learn about their experience and the medical institution they choose. In addition, listen to doctors' suggestions, fully communicate with them, and understand the risks and possible problems in the whole process.
4. Good living habits and preparations
IVF is not a single operation, but a complex process. Couples should prepare physically and mentally as much as possible. This includes maintaining good nutrition, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake.
In addition, the husband and wife should also follow the doctor's advice, take medicine on time and check regularly during the IVF process to ensure the smooth progress of the whole process.
Finally, couples should also be prepared to face possible success or failure. No matter what the final result is, they should be ready to accept and deal with it.
Summary
IVF is an advanced assisted reproductive technology, which brings hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, a series of conditions need to be met for IVF. Couples should ensure that they have irreversible diseases or infertility, and receive a complete physical examination. Economic and psychological preparations are also crucial to cope with the costs and pressures of IVF. Selecting appropriate hospitals and doctors and keeping good living habits and preparations are also necessary conditions for successful IVF.
In a word, IVF is not applicable to every couple, but for couples who meet the above prerequisites, this technology can achieve their reproductive aspirations.
