Use demand of IVF
With the continuous development of technology, IVF technology has become a choice for infertile couples. IVF refers to the combination of sperm and eggs through in vitro fertilization, the cultivation of embryos in the laboratory, and then the implantation of embryos into the mother. This technology has fulfilled the dream of parents for many couples. The following will introduce the use needs of IVF from four aspects.
1. Infertility patients
Infertility refers to the long-term failure of couples to conceive under normal sexual life conditions. Infertility patients are one of the main users of IVF technology. Infertility can be divided into male factors, female factors and bilateral factors, and may be caused by a variety of reasons. For infertile patients, IVF technology provides an important solution.
First, for infertility caused by male factors, IVF technology can increase the chance of pregnancy by selecting healthy sperm and injecting it into egg cells.
Secondly, for infertility caused by female factors, IVF technology can collect female eggs, combine them with male sperm, fertilize and develop them into embryos, and then implant the embryos into the mother to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
Finally, for infertility caused by both factors, IVF technology can combine male and female germ cells to increase the chance of pregnancy and improve the fertility success rate.
2. Carriers of genetic diseases
IVF technology is also applicable to carriers of some genetic diseases. Genetic diseases are diseases caused by some abnormal genes, which may be passed on to the next generation. In order to avoid passing on the disease to the next generation, one of the spouses carries the gene of genetic disease. In order to avoid passing on the disease to the next generation, the embryos carrying the gene of disease can be pre screened through the test tube baby technology.
IVF technology can obtain multiple embryos through in vitro fertilization, and then conduct gene testing on the embryos to screen healthy embryos, and then implant them into the mother, reducing the risk of passing genetic diseases to the next generation.
In addition, IVF technology can also carry out prenatal genetic counseling, provide counseling services, help couples understand the relevant knowledge of genetic diseases, and give reasonable suggestions and solutions according to the situation.
3. Age factor
As women grow older, their fertility will gradually decline. Therefore, age has also become one of the needs of IVF. The female reproductive system will undergo a series of changes in the process of aging, such as decreased ovarian function, decreased number of eggs, etc. These changes will lead to difficulties in pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy.
Under the influence of age, IVF technology has become a feasible choice. IVF technology can use younger eggs to improve the chance of pregnancy. In addition, IVF technology can also help women realize their desire for pregnancy through ovulation disorders caused by problems such as polycystic ovary syndrome.
4. Repeated failed assisted reproductive technology
For some couples, they have tried many assisted reproductive technologies (such as IVF, artificial insemination, etc.) but failed to conceive, which will also demand IVF technology.
IVF technology has a higher pregnancy success rate. For couples who have failed in assisted reproductive technology for many times, IVF technology has become their last hope. IVF technology can provide more accurate embryo screening and more accurate embryo implantation technology to improve the chance of pregnancy.
summary
The demand for IVF technology mainly comes from infertility patients, carriers of genetic diseases, age factors and assisted reproductive technologists who have failed many times. Through in vitro fertilization, embryo screening and embryo implantation, IVF technology has fulfilled the dream of becoming parents for these couples.
