What is hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy refers to the complete or partial removal of a woman's uterus. Under certain circumstances, doctors may recommend that women undergo hysterectomy. These conditions include uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, uterine malignancies, etc. Hysterectomy is one of the common gynecological operations. Although it may affect the reproductive function of women after surgery, it does not mean that the entire fertility will be deprived.
Fertility after hysterectomy
For those women who wish to continue their pregnancy, hysterectomy may cause some problems. Due to the removal of the uterus, natural pregnancy is no longer feasible. However, the development of modern medical technology makes IVF a feasible choice.
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which helps couples with fertility difficulties achieve their fertility aspirations by cultivating the fertilized eggs in vitro to a certain stage, and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus. Even if women have undergone hysterectomy and their ovaries function normally, they can still conceive and give birth through IVF technology.
In IVF technology, women need to receive ovulation promoting drugs to increase the number and quality of ovulatory follicles. Then through in vitro fertilization, the male sperm is combined with the female egg. The fertilized egg is cultured in a culture dish, and after successful development, it is transplanted into the uterus of the mother for embedding development. Although preoperative treatment and operation may be relatively complex and expensive, IVF technology provides a glimmer of hope for women who still desire to have children after hysterectomy.
Success rate of IVF technology
The success rate of IVF technology is affected by many factors, including women's age, ovarian function, number and quality of eggs, and the quality of male sperm. Generally speaking, young and healthy women have a higher success rate.
According to the World Health Organization, the success rate of IVF technology is usually between 30% and 50%. The improvement of the success rate depends on advanced assisted reproductive technology and the professional knowledge and experience of doctors. Therefore, it is very important to select a formal and qualified medical institution for IVF operation.
In China, well-known medical institutions such as Beijing 301 Hospital and Shanghai Ruijin Hospital have set up reproductive centers to provide professional IVF services. These hospitals provide advanced equipment and technology, have rich clinical experience, and can maximize the success rate of IVF technology.
summary
Hysterectomy does not mean that women's fertility is completely lost. With the support of modern medical technology, women still have the opportunity to achieve their reproductive aspirations through IVF technology. The success rate of IVF technology is affected by many factors, but under the guidance of professional medical institutions, women can be more confident to welcome the healthy birth of IVF.
