Advantages of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology that has developed rapidly in recent years. It provides a way to realize the dream of their own children for those couples who are long-term infertile or infertile. The advantages of IVF are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Solve the problem of infertility
The emergence of IVF technology provides an effective solution for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to infertility. Infertility can be caused by many reasons, including female factors (such as polycystic ovary syndrome, oviduct obstruction, etc.), male factors (such as poor sperm quality, vas deferens obstruction, etc.) and other factors. IVF technology can bypass these problems, and through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, infertile couples have the opportunity to conceive and bear.
2. Improve the fertility success rate
Compared with traditional assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology has a higher success rate. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo culture can be used to screen better quality embryos and improve the probability of successful pregnancy. In addition, IVF technology can choose the best time for embryo transfer according to the needs of couples and doctors' suggestions to further improve the success rate.
3. Detection of embryo health
The early embryo detection of IVF technology can help couples screen out healthy embryos and reduce the birth risk of some genetic diseases and chromosome abnormalities. Through genetic testing of embryos, carriers of some hereditary diseases can be screened to avoid passing these diseases on to their children. In addition, IVF technology can also detect chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, to help couples choose healthy embryos for transplantation and reduce the risk of abortion caused by unhealthy embryos.
4. Delaying childbearing age
With the social progress and the improvement of women's education level, more and more women choose to marry late and have children late. However, women's fertility will decline with the growth of age, leading to difficulties in pregnancy. IVF technology can help women delay their childbearing age, save their young eggs by freezing eggs and other methods, and then conduct IVF when they want to be pregnant. In this way, women have a greater chance to still be able to successfully conceive when they are older.
Indications for IVF
IVF technology can effectively solve the fertility problems of the following types of couples:
1. Tubal blockage
Obstruction of fallopian tubes is one of the common causes of infertility, and IVF technology can help such couples achieve their reproductive dreams. Through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, the oviduct is bypassed so that sperm and eggs can meet and fuse in the incubator.
2. Poor quality of male sperm
Some men cannot conceive naturally due to poor sperm quality, and IVF technology provides hope for such couples. Through IVF technology, we can directly select high-quality sperm for IVF and improve the success rate of pregnancy.
3. Multiple artificial insemination failures
For couples who have failed in artificial insemination for many times, IVF technology is a feasible choice. The success rate of IVF technology is relatively high, which can bring new hope to such couples.
4. Older pregnancy
With the improvement of women's social status, more and more women choose to be pregnant at an advanced age. However, pregnancy at an advanced age will face many risks. IVF technology can help these women delay their childbearing age and reduce the risk of pregnancy.
summary
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has significant advantages in solving the problem of infertility, improving the success rate of fertility, detecting the health of embryos and delaying the age of fertility. At the same time, IVF technology is suitable for a variety of infertility situations, such as fallopian tube blockage, poor quality of male sperm, multiple artificial pregnancy failures and elderly pregnancy. IVF technology has brought new hopes and opportunities to couples who are eager to have their own children.
