Test tube babies are suitable for people
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in couples who cannot conceive naturally. The applicable population for IVF technology has clear medical indicators and conditions. The following will elaborate on the population suitable for IVF from four aspects.
1. Applicable population for in vitro fertilization
In vitro fertilization is one of the main operation steps of IVF technology, which is applicable to the following populations:
First, couples who cannot conceive naturally. For example, women have fallopian tube problems and can not smoothly combine eggs and sperm, or men have testicular diseases that lead to poor semen quality.
Secondly, couples who fail in repeated artificial insemination or other assisted reproductive technologies. If couples try to conceive by other means but fail, in vitro fertilization can be their choice.
In addition, couples with chromosome abnormalities or genetic risks of genetic diseases are also suitable for in vitro fertilization. Through in vitro fertilization, doctors can conduct genetic screening before embryo implantation to reduce the risk of disease.
2. Suitable people for egg or sperm donation
In some cases, IVF needs to use donated eggs or sperm. The following are applicable people who need to donate eggs or sperm:
First, female eggs are limited in number or quality. As women grow older, the number and quality of their eggs will gradually decrease, making it difficult to conceive naturally. At this time, they can choose to use donated eggs for IVF.
Secondly, the quality of male semen is poor. If the quality of male semen does not meet the standard of natural pregnancy, we can consider using donated sperm for IVF.
3. Suitable people for uterine donation
For some women who have uterine problems and cannot achieve pregnancy, uterine donation can be an optional method. The following is applicable to people who donate uterus:
First, women with abnormal or missing uterus. Some women are unable to accommodate embryonic development due to abnormal or missing uterine development due to congenital reasons. They can accept uterine donation surgery to create a growing environment for IVF babies.
Secondly, women with hysterectomy or functional defect. Through surgery or other reasons, a woman's uterus may be removed or its function may be damaged, and she cannot conceive naturally. And uterine donation can provide a feasible way for them to conceive.
4. Psychologically and economically applicable population
In addition to medical conditions, some psychological and economic reasons also make some people suitable for IVF technology:
First, some couples may choose IVF to realize their fertility wishes due to the psychological pressure and trouble caused by long-term infertility.
Secondly, social and economic reasons, such as restrictions on older pregnancies or single women's desire to become mothers alone, will also make some people turn to IVF technology.
In conclusion, IVF technology is widely applicable to couples who cannot conceive naturally. Applicable population includes couples who need in vitro fertilization, couples who need to donate eggs or sperm, women who need to donate uterus, and couples and individuals who choose IVF based on psychological and economic reasons. Through IVF technology, these groups have the opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams.
