What is the difference between IVF and natural pregnancy in China?
In the field of modern medicine, test tube baby technology (IVF) is widely used to solve the problem of infertility. Compared with traditional natural pregnancy, IVF has some obvious differences. The following will make a detailed comparison between domestic IVF and natural pregnancy from the perspective of treatment process, success rate, risk and social psychology.
Treatment process
Test tube baby is a complex treatment process, which requires doctors to perform multiple operations and controls. First, women need to receive ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple mature eggs. Then, the collected eggs are combined with the male sperm in the laboratory by surgery to form a fertilized egg. Finally, the fertilized egg is cultured in the laboratory until the embryo develops to a certain stage, and then the embryo is implanted into the female uterus for pregnancy.
In contrast, natural pregnancy is a natural process that does not require medical intervention. As long as men and women have normal sexual intercourse, they may become pregnant. This process is simpler and naturally easier to implement.
Success rate
Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF has a higher success rate. According to the statistics of a well-known hospital in China, the success rate of IVF can reach several thousandths to several tens, depending on the patient's age, the cause of pregnancy problems and other relevant factors. The success rate of natural pregnancy is relatively low, which depends on the fertility of both spouses and normal physiological cycle.
In addition, IVF technology allows genetic screening at the embryo culture stage to exclude some possible genetic diseases. This makes IVF more successful in genetics.
risk
There are some risks in the process of IVF, including surgical risks, drug side effects, multiple pregnancy, etc. Complications such as infection, bleeding and uterine perforation may occur during the operation, while ovulation promoting drugs may lead to adverse reactions such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). In addition, multiple embryos are usually implanted during embryo culture, which may increase the risk of multiple pregnancies.
In contrast, the risk of natural pregnancy is relatively low. Although there may be infertility caused by some physiological and genetic reasons, surgery and drug intervention are not required, so the risk is small.
social psychology
The treatment process of IVF requires the cooperation of both husband and wife, and bears long-term pressure and anxiety. With the progress of treatment, both husband and wife may experience various emotions such as hope, worry, anxiety and disappointment. However, when IVF treatment is successful, both husband and wife will feel great joy and satisfaction.
In contrast, the process of natural pregnancy is more natural and simple. Both husband and wife can try to conceive according to their own wishes and opportunities, reducing psychological pressure and anxiety.
summary
There are obvious differences in the treatment process, success rate, risk and social psychology between IVF and natural pregnancy in China. IVF needs medical intervention and complicated operation, but its success rate is relatively high; Natural pregnancy is a natural and simple process, but the success rate is low. There are risks in IVF treatment, but the risk of natural pregnancy is relatively small. In addition, IVF treatment may bring some psychological pressure and anxiety to both spouses. Therefore, when choosing the mode of pregnancy, both husband and wife should make wise decisions according to their own conditions and needs.
