Factors influencing the success rate of IVF
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has helped many infertile couples realize their dream of becoming parents. However, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors. The success rate of IVF will be described in detail from the following four aspects.
Select the right hospital
The success rate of IVF is closely related to the experience of selected hospitals and doctors. In China, some hospitals with rich experience and expertise, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the Reproductive Medicine Center of Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, have made remarkable achievements in the field of IVF. These hospitals have the most advanced equipment and technology, and are able to provide comprehensive testing and treatment for patients, thus improving the success rate of IVF.
At the same time, patients should also understand the hospital's medical records and success rate data. Choosing a hospital with a high success rate in IVF will increase the possibility of success.
In addition, the experience of doctors is also crucial. Experienced doctors know more about how to evaluate the condition of patients and formulate the best treatment plan, so as to improve the success rate of IVF.
Age and success rate
The age of women is an important factor affecting the success rate of IVF. With the growth of age, women's ovarian function will gradually decline, and the quality of eggs will also decline, which will directly affect the success rate of IVF.
According to statistics, the success rate of IVF for women under 30 years old is relatively high, about 40% to 50%. However, with the increase of age, the success rate gradually decreases. For women over 35 years old, the success rate of IVF is generally below 30%.
Therefore, for older women, early IVF treatment is the key to increase the success rate.
Patient's physical condition
The patient's physical condition will also affect the success rate of IVF. For example, women with polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis or tubal obstruction have a low success rate.
In addition, patients with other diseases or long-term drug treatment, such as diabetes, hypertension, may also affect the success rate of IVF. Therefore, before IVF treatment, patients should have a comprehensive examination to ensure that they are in good health.
Application of auxiliary technology
Auxiliary technology plays an important role in improving the success rate of IVF. For example, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is one of the most commonly used IVF technologies at present. Pregnancy is achieved by combining male sperm and female eggs in vitro, cultivating embryos, and then transferring the embryos to the mother's uterus.
In addition, some auxiliary technologies can be used to improve embryo selectivity, such as embryo chromosome screening and embryo quality assessment. These techniques can help doctors select the best embryos for transplantation and improve the success rate of IVF.
To sum up, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including the selection of appropriate hospitals and doctors, age, physical condition and the application of assistive technology. When patients are undergoing IVF treatment, they should fully consider these factors and choose the best treatment scheme to improve the success rate.
