Definition and significance of IVF
IVF, the full name of artificial assisted reproductive technology baby, refers to the process of pregnancy and pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (commonly known as IVF). The development of IVF technology provides a hope for those couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological reasons.
IVF technology includes many steps, such as egg retrieval, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation. First of all, doctors will give ovulation promoting drugs to promote the successful ovulation of multiple eggs from the ovary according to the menstrual cycle of women. Then, under the guidance of ultrasound, the eggs are taken out and fertilized in vitro with the male sperm. The fertilized embryos will be cultured in the laboratory, and then high-quality embryos will be transferred to the female uterus to further promote the occurrence of pregnancy.
The development of IVF technology has brought new hope to couples who are unable to conceive naturally, and has enabled those who once thought it impossible to become parents to realize their dream of procreation. However, IVF technology is not 100% successful, and its success rate is affected by many factors.
Factors influencing the success rate of IVF
The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including female age, egg quality, uterine conditions and lifestyle. First, female age is one of the most important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. Statistics show that the success rate of IVF can reach 30% to 40% for women under 35 years of age, and only 10% to 20% for women over 40 years of age. In addition, the quality of female eggs will also affect the quality of embryos, thereby affecting the success rate.
Secondly, uterine conditions are also the key to the success of IVF. The thickness and quality of the endometrium, the shape of the uterine cavity, and the contractile function of the uterus all affect the implantation and development of the embryo. If the uterine conditions are not ideal, it is difficult for the embryo to successfully implant and develop, thus affecting the success rate.
In addition, the lifestyle of couples will also affect the success rate of IVF. For example, bad living habits such as smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and bad eating habits will have a negative impact on the ability to conceive, thus affecting the success rate of IVF.
Success rate of IVF in large hospitals in China
In China, there are many large hospitals that provide IVF technical services, and the success rate of IVF in these hospitals is also different. Take Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example. It is one of the famous top three hospitals in China and has a world-class reproductive medicine center. According to the statistics of the hospital, up to now, the success rate of IVF is 30% to 40%, which is the leading level in China.
Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is also one of the well-known IVF hospitals in China. The hospital has the world's advanced IVF technology and equipment, and can still maintain a relatively stable high success rate in the case of a large number of patients. According to the statistical data of Ruijin Hospital, the success rate of IVF is about 30%, with high reliability.
In addition, large hospitals such as Shanghai Sun Yat sen Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University in Guangzhou also have rich experience and high success rate in the field of IVF.
Summary
In general, IVF technology is an important means to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including female age, egg quality, uterine conditions and lifestyle. Among the large hospitals in China, the success rate of IVF is generally high, and some famous top three hospitals and specialized hospitals are leading the way. Although the success rate of IVF cannot be fully guaranteed, with the continuous progress of technology and the rich accumulation of medical experience, couples who are unable to conceive naturally still have hope to realize their reproductive dreams through IVF technology.
