What are the advantages of IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, in which the fertilized eggs are cultured and implanted into the mother. Since the birth of the first test tube baby, the technology of test tube baby has been widely used, bringing good news to many infertile couples. IVF not only provides couples who cannot conceive naturally with the opportunity to have children, but also brings many other advantages.
1. Increase fertility
IVF technology can help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to reproductive system problems to realize their reproductive dreams. IVF technology enables eggs and sperm to be combined and cultured in vitro through artificial assistance, and then high-quality fertilized eggs are implanted into the mother, thus improving the probability of successful pregnancy. Statistics show that couples using IVF technology have a higher probability of successful pregnancy, especially for those older couples who have difficulty in fertilization.
In addition, IVF technology can also avoid transmission of some genetic diseases through embryo screening. For example, in scientific breeding of embryos, gene screening can be carried out for some common genetic diseases to help couples avoid having children with serious genetic diseases.
2. Provide feasible solutions
For those couples who have tried other methods but are still unable to conceive successfully, IVF technology provides a feasible solution. It provides these couples with an important opportunity to postpone their start time and focus on their career or other life goals. At the same time, IVF technology can also help women with reproductive system diseases realize their mothers' dreams, providing them with a way to overcome physiological barriers.
In addition, IVF technology also provides a reproductive option for single women and same-sex couples. They can realize their family dreams by donating sperm or eggs and using IVF technology.
3. Increase the certainty of parent-child relationship
Couples using IVF technology have a higher degree of certainty in the parent-child relationship of their children. Since eggs and sperm are obtained from the husband and wife themselves or from donors, children born by IVF tend to have higher genetic similarity with their parents, thus strengthening the certainty of parent-child relationship. This is an important advantage for couples who want to establish close ties with their genetic offspring.
In addition, IVF technology can also help couples who are unable to conceive due to physiological reasons to achieve their own parent-child relationship. For example, for women without uterus, IVF technology enables them to conceive their own children through surrogacy, and experience the role of mother in the pregnancy process after conception.
4. Provide professional nursing throughout the process
IVF technology needs to go through a series of steps and processes, including physical examination, egg collection, sperm extraction, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and implantation. This process requires rigorous professional nursing and monitoring, and the duration is relatively long. Therefore, couples can receive professional nursing and guidance in the whole process of IVF treatment in the hospital. Many hospitals have special reproductive medical centers that provide one-stop IVF services to help couples successfully go through all stages of the IVF process.
Summary:
The emergence of IVF technology provides a new way for infertile couples to have children. By increasing the fertility rate, providing feasible solutions, increasing the certainty of parent-child relationship and providing professional nursing throughout the process, IVF technology has changed the fertility reality of couples and brought them new hopes and opportunities.
