Why choose artificial pregnancy or test tube baby?
With the progress of modern medical technology, more and more couples choose artificial pregnancy or test tube baby to achieve their reproductive aspirations. Artificial insemination or IVF is a complex medical process, but it provides a chance for many infertile couples to obtain healthy children. This article will explain why we choose artificial pregnancy or IVF from four aspects: psychological pressure, genetic disease, age limit and medical progress.
1. Reduce psychological pressure
Infertile couples often bear heavy psychological pressure because they cannot have a child as naturally as other couples. Choosing assisted pregnancy or IVF can reduce this pressure, because it means they still have the chance to become parents. By introducing modern medical technology, they can skip the process of natural pregnancy and directly conduct assisted reproductive technology to increase the chances of successful pregnancy.
In addition, artificial pregnancy or test tube baby also provides a hope for couples. They can get professional guidance and support from doctors to understand their physical conditions and choose the most suitable fertility method. This hope and support is very important for the couple's mental health, which can help them overcome the plight of infertility.
2. Risk of genetic diseases
Hereditary disease refers to the disease passed from parents to children. Some couples carry the genes of genetic diseases, and choose to reduce the risk of these diseases through artificial pregnancy or test tube baby. In the process of IVF, doctors can detect embryos carrying disease genes through genetic screening, and select healthy embryos for implantation. This screening can greatly reduce the risk of children suffering from genetic diseases and give them a healthier future.
In addition, IVF technology can also help patients with single gene disease to achieve fertility aspirations. If both husband and wife carry the same genetic disease, their children have a high probability of suffering from this disease. By screening embryos and selecting healthy embryos for implantation, they can avoid passing on disease genes to the next generation and achieve healthy children that ordinary couples cannot have.
3. Age limit
The reproductive capacity of women decreases with age, and it is more difficult for women over 40 years old to conceive. Therefore, some older couples choose artificial pregnancy or IVF to increase their chances of pregnancy. Through assisted reproductive technology, doctors can help these couples make full use of their physical resources and improve the probability of successful pregnancy.
In addition, in the process of IVF, doctors can adjust the ovulation cycle and ovarian function of women through hormone therapy to make them conform to the optimal pregnancy state. This adjustment can improve the chance of pregnancy, so that those older women can also achieve their reproductive aspirations.
4. Medical progress
With the continuous progress of medical technology, the success rate of artificial pregnancy or IVF is also increasing. More and more hospitals and professional teams are committed to the research and development of new assisted reproductive technologies to increase the fertility success rate of couples. For example, the emergence of new methods such as preimplantation embryo genetic screening and embryo freezing technology has greatly improved the success rate of IVF.
In addition to technological progress, the improvement of medical facilities and environment has also played a positive role in promoting couples to choose artificial pregnancy or IVF. At present, many hospitals provide special assisted reproductive departments with advanced equipment and experienced doctors to provide patients with the best medical services.
Summary
As a modern assisted reproduction technology, assisted pregnancy or test tube baby provides many infertile couples with an opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams. Choosing artificial pregnancy or test tube baby can reduce the psychological pressure of couples, reduce the risk of genetic diseases, overcome the age limit, and benefit from the improvement of technology and facilities brought about by medical progress. Through these explanations, we can see why more and more couples choose artificial pregnancy or IVF.
