Why choose IVF?
In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to treat infertility. For some couples who cannot conceive naturally, IVF technology has become the best choice for them to achieve their reproductive aspirations. The following will elaborate on why to choose IVF from four aspects: medical technology, fertility success rate, genetic disease screening and psychological needs.
Development of medical technology
With the continuous progress of science and technology, medical technology has also been developed rapidly. As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF provides a new way for couples who cannot conceive naturally. With the application of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology, infertile patients have more opportunities to successfully conceive and give birth to healthy babies. In view of infertility, IVF technology has become a mature and reliable treatment method, enabling more and more couples to realize their dream of becoming parents.
Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the hospital has an experienced and professional medical team equipped with advanced reproductive technology equipment. Through high-quality medical technology and comprehensive treatment scheme, the success rate of IVF technology has been significantly improved.
Improvement of fertility success rate
With the continuous development of IVF technology, the fertility success rate has been significantly improved. Through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology, doctors can select the best quality fertilized eggs for transplantation, thus improving the probability of embryo implantation. In addition, the application of new assisted reproductive technologies has also increased the success rate of IVF, such as the use of embryo incubators, the application of gene screening technology, etc.
According to the data from the American Fertility Society, the success rate of IVF has increased year by year, and now it has reached 38% of the global average. In Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the success rate of this technology is close to 50%. These data show that the selection of IVF technology can improve the chance of success in childbirth, and bring hope and confidence to infertile patients.
Ability to screen for genetic diseases
IVF technology can not only help infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations, but also eliminate or reduce the risk of genetic diseases. Through genetic screening of embryos, doctors can detect whether embryos carry certain genetic diseases, so as to select healthy embryos for transplantation and reduce the risk of disease.
For example, the whole embryo genome sequencing technology implemented by the Third Hospital of Peking University can comprehensively scan the genetic information of embryos and screen for genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities. The application of this technology, to a certain extent, has reduced the birth rate of neonatal congenital genetic diseases and provided more reliable genetic information for patients.
Meet psychological needs
IVF technology can also meet the psychological needs of infertile couples. For those couples who aspire to become parents but cannot conceive naturally, IVF technology gives them the opportunity to realize their dreams and reduces their psychological pressure and anxiety.
The IVF technology provides a scientific and effective solution to the infertility of women, men, and couples. Through IVF, infertile couples can realize their desire to conceive their own children, establish a complete family, and obtain physical and mental satisfaction and happiness.
Summary
There are several important reasons for choosing IVF technology: the development of medical technology has given more opportunities to infertile patients; The improvement of fertility success rate brings hope and confidence for infertile couples to realize their fertility aspirations; Genetic disease screening technology can reduce the risk of genetic diseases in newborns; At the same time, IVF technology can also meet the psychological needs of couples, bringing physical and mental satisfaction and happiness.
