Successful cases of IVF
IVF technology is an important achievement of modern reproductive medicine, which provides a way for couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. With the continuous progress of technology, there are more and more successful cases of IVF. This article will introduce some successful cases of IVF from four aspects: medical institutions, technological innovation, types of infertility and success rate.
1、 Medical institutions
Medical institutions around the world are constantly exploring and improving IVF technology. Here are some successful cases:
1. Boston Reproductive Medicine Center: The center successfully implemented the world's first IVF operation in 1978, making important contributions to the development of global IVF technology.
2. St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London, England: This hospital is one of the earliest medical institutions in Britain to carry out IVF technology. They have a professional team and advanced equipment, and have successfully helped many couples realize their dreams of childbirth.
3. Affiliated Hospital of the Medical Department of the University of Tokyo, Japan: This hospital is the first medical institution in Japan to successfully cultivate test tube babies. They have accumulated rich experience in the research and practice of IVF technology.
2、 Technological innovation
Continuous technological innovation has played an important role in the success rate of IVF. The following are some relevant cases:
1. Embryo screening technology: By screening the genes of embryos, the risk of chromosome abnormalities and genetic diseases can be reduced. For example, PGS technology developed by California Gene Corporation can help couples choose healthy embryos for transplantation, thus improving the success rate of IVF.
2. Frozen embryo technology: The success rate of IVF can be increased by freezing the surplus embryos. For example, the embryo freezing technology adopted by the Brisbane Early Pregnancy Center in Australia has helped many couples achieve their reproductive aspirations successfully.
3. Male infertility treatment technology: Some couples cannot conceive naturally due to male infertility, and researchers have developed some treatment methods for male infertility through test tube baby technology. For example, the ICSI technology jointly developed by King's College London and the Royal College of Management has successfully helped many male infertile couples achieve their reproductive dreams.
3、 Types of infertility
Infertility is one of the main indications for IVF. The following are some different types of infertility cases:
1. Infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes: Some women are infertile due to abnormal fallopian tubes. The IVF technology can bypass the fallopian tubes, so that the fertilized eggs can be successfully embedded into the endometrium, thus achieving pregnancy. For example, Leicester University Hospital in London, UK, successfully helped many patients with blocked fallopian tubes to get pregnant.
2. Polycystic ovary syndrome infertility: Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the common causes of female infertility, which leads to ovulation disorders. By controlling hormone levels and assisted ovulation technology, IVF can help patients with polycystic ovary successfully conceive. For example, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in China successfully cured a patient with polycystic ovary syndrome. She successfully became pregnant and successfully delivered a healthy baby.
3. Male infertility: male infertility is caused by low semen quality or low sperm quantity. Through the IVF technology, you can choose good sperm quality for fertilization to improve the probability of pregnancy. For example, the Medical Center of the University of Sydney in Australia has successfully helped many male infertile patients realize their dreams of fertility.
4、 Success rate
The success rate of IVF is related to many factors, including age, type of infertility, medical institutions and technical level. According to statistical data, the global average success rate of IVF is about 40%. However, different medical institutions and technical levels will vary, and the success rate of some top hospitals can even exceed 60%.
In short, IVF technology plays an important role in infertile couples, and continuous medical innovation and technological progress provide more opportunities for couples to realize their reproductive dreams. In the future, with the continuous improvement of technology, the success rate of IVF will be further improved.
Summary
Successful cases of IVF technology can be observed from four aspects: medical institutions, technological innovation, types of infertility and success rate. Many famous medical institutions around the world have made important breakthroughs in the field of IVF, such as Boston Reproductive Medicine Center in the United States, St. Bartholomew Hospital in London in the United Kingdom, and the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Tokyo Medical Department in Japan. Technological innovation also provides more opportunities for the success rate of IVF, such as embryo screening technology, frozen embryo technology and male infertility treatment technology. Different types of infertility can be effectively solved through IVF technology, such as infertility due to tubal obstruction, infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome and male infertility. Although the success rate is affected by many factors, the global average success rate of IVF is about 40%, and high-level medical institutions can even reach more than 60%. In the future, with the further improvement of technology, the success rate of IVF will continue to improve.
