Why do we need IVF?
Test tube baby technology (artificial assisted reproduction technology) is a modern medical technology, which is widely used to solve the problem of infertility and help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. Through artificial assisted fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer, it brings hope and joy to couples with fertility difficulties.
Solve the problem of infertility
Test tube baby technology is one of the most effective methods to treat infertility at present. Many couples failed to conceive naturally after many years of trying, which may be caused by female fallopian tube obstruction, poor quality of male semen or other infertility factors. With IVF technology, doctors can artificially combine sperm and eggs, and then transfer the fertilized eggs back to the mother, increasing the chance of successful pregnancy. This provides many infertile couples with the opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams.
For example, the reproductive center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital uses high-tech equipment and advanced technology to provide IVF services to couples suffering from tubal obstruction or sperm abnormalities. Through in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other technologies, they have helped countless couples overcome the problem of infertility and achieved the birth of healthy babies.
In addition, IVF technology also provides opportunities for single women and same-sex couples who cannot conceive naturally. For those who have no fertility, IVF technology is a valuable choice.
Eugenics
Test tube baby technology can not only solve the problem of infertility, but also help couples to carry out eugenics. Through assisted reproductive technology, doctors can screen out embryos with genetic defects or genetic risks, and select healthy embryos for transplantation. This can reduce the incidence of genetic diseases and ensure the health of newborns.
For example, the IVF Center of Shanghai Huashan Hospital provides PGD (non-invasive genetic screening of embryos) services, which can help couples screen embryos carrying genetic diseases. They use single cell gene amplification technology to conduct genetic screening on embryos and ensure the selection of healthy embryos. This has caused many couples to worry about the natural inheritance of genetic diseases.
Age delayed childbearing
With the development of social economy, more and more women choose to delay childbearing. However, with the growth of age, female fertility will gradually decline, increasing the difficulty of pregnancy. IVF technology can help older women realize their desire to delay childbirth.
For example, the IVF Center of Shenzhen Peking University Hospital provides elderly women with assisted reproductive technology. They used in vitro fertilization and embryo culture technology to realize the dream of late childbirth for women over 40.
Summary
IVF technology provides opportunities for couples with fertility difficulties to realize their reproductive dreams through artificial assisted reproduction. It solves the problem of infertility, promotes good birth and reproduction, and helps older women delay childbearing. IVF technology plays an important role in modern medicine, bringing happiness and joy to many couples.
