Number of IVF in China
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are the products of scientific and technological progress in the field of fertility. In recent years, with people's desire for reproductive freedom and the continuous development of technology, IVF technology has been widely used in China. This article will describe the number of test tube babies in China from four aspects to meet user needs.
1. Total number of test tube babies
According to statistics, the number of test tube babies in China is increasing year by year. Take Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example. The hospital has a large number of IVF cases every year. In 2019, the hospital completed 1391 IVF operations, an increase of 15% over the previous year. Similarly, Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is also a well-known IVF clinic in China, with 1572 IVF operations completed in 2019. These data show that the number of test tube babies in China is increasing year by year.
On the one hand, it benefits from the continuous progress of medical technology. With the maturity of IVF technology, the application of IVF, ICSI and other technologies has been widely promoted, making IVF technology more mature and efficient.
On the other hand, with the increasing demand of society for freedom of reproduction, more and more couples choose IVF technology to achieve their reproductive aspirations. In a modern society with a tight pace of life and high pressure, many couples marry late and have children late, while IVF technology provides a solution.
2. Difference in the number of test tube babies in different regions
The number of IVF babies varies from region to region in China. Taking the economically developed first tier cities as an example, Beijing, Shanghai and other places have relatively large numbers of IVF babies, which is related to the dense population and sufficient medical resources in cities. In addition, the medical level in these areas is relatively high, the reproductive medical center is fully equipped, and there are more professional and technical personnel, which can better meet the needs of users.
However, the number of IVF in rural areas is relatively small. This may be related to the unbalanced allocation of medical resources and the relatively low level of medical care. However, with the continuous promotion of the national health poverty alleviation policy, measures such as rural doctor training, medical equipment updating, and diagnostic technology improvement are expected to further promote the development of IVF technology in rural areas.
3. Success rate of IVF
The success rate of IVF is an important indicator to measure the satisfaction of user needs. According to the data, the average success rate of IVF in China is about 30% to 40%. However, there are some differences between different hospitals and individuals.
Taking Tianjin First Central Hospital as an example, the success rate of IVF in this hospital is far higher than the average level, reaching more than 50%. This is due to the professional strength and equipment advantages of the hospital's reproductive medical center. Similarly, there are some well-known medical institutions such as Shanghai Oriental Gynecology Hospital.
However, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, such as female age, patient's physical condition, egg and sperm quality, etc. Therefore, a comprehensive physical examination and assessment should be carried out before IVF, and appropriate hospitals and technologies should be selected.
4. Relevant policies and problems of IVF
The development of IVF technology also faces some policy and ethical issues. Since 2017, the National Health Commission has started to standardize the management of IVF technology and strengthen the supervision of medical institutions and technicians.
In addition, IVF technology has also triggered some ethical and moral disputes, such as the moral rationality of IVF and the problem of artificially selecting the sex of embryos. This requires the continuous attention and thinking of all sectors of society and experts and scholars to maintain the legitimate and reasonable application of IVF technology.
Summary
IVF technology has been widely used in China, and its number is increasing year by year. There are differences in the number of IVF babies in different regions. There are more IVF babies in first tier cities and less in rural areas. The success rate of IVF is about 30% to 40%, which is affected by many factors. The development of IVF technology faces some policy and ethical issues, which need further regulation and discussion.
