Effect of ligation on IVF method
Ligation is a common contraceptive method, which can block the combination of sperm and egg by binding or removing the fallopian tube or vas deferens, so as to avoid pregnancy. However, some couples may consider trying the IVF method to realize their desire for fertility after making the decision of ligation. This article will discuss whether IVF can be tried after ligation from different aspects.
1. Effect of ligation on fertility
Ligation is usually considered as a permanent contraceptive method, but it is not completely irreversible. Some hospitals can restore the fertility before ligation through the reconstruction of vas deferens or fallopian tubes. Once the operation is successful, both the husband and wife can consider using IVF to achieve their fertility wishes.
However, reversal of ligation is not always successful. The success rate of surgery depends on many factors, including the type and duration of ligation surgery. Therefore, for couples who have undergone ligation surgery, they should first have a detailed consultation before trying the IVF method to understand its success rate and risks.
2. Accessibility of eggs or sperm by ligation
After ligation, the availability of eggs or sperm may be affected. When IVF treatment is carried out after ligation surgery, eggs need to be obtained through assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or egg donation. Sperm can be obtained through semen collection or sperm extraction. Therefore, ligation has a certain impact on the feasibility of IVF method.
In addition, the ovarian function of women after ligation may be affected to some extent, leading to the decline of egg availability. At this time, ovulation promoting drugs can be taken to stimulate the development of follicles and improve the rate of obtaining eggs. Male ligation has little impact on sperm availability.
3. Effect of ligation on embryo implantation
Ligation does not affect the process of IVF embryo implantation. Once the eggs and sperm are successfully obtained, after in vitro fertilization, the embryo will be cultured to reach the appropriate development stage. Then, after the embryo implantation operation, the embryo is transferred into the female uterus, so as to achieve pregnancy.
Ligation does not affect the success rate of embryo implantation. However, the success rate may vary depending on women's age, uterine condition and embryo quality. Therefore, before considering IVF treatment, women should receive detailed gynecological examination and evaluation to ensure that the uterus and vagina are in good condition, which is conducive to the smooth implantation of embryos.
4. Cost of reversal of ligation and IVF
Both reversal of ligation and IVF methods need financial support. The cost of ligation reversal surgery depends on the complexity of the surgery and the location of the hospital. Some real hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, may offer ligation reversal surgery at a high cost.
In addition, the cost of IVF method is also high. Cost support is required for in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo implantation. Therefore, both husband and wife need to consider the economic pressure when deciding whether to try the IVF method.
summary
Whether the IVF method can be tried after ligation depends on many factors, including the success rate of reversal, the availability of eggs or sperm, the success rate of embryo implantation, and financial support. For couples with fertility needs, they should consult a professional doctor before IVF treatment to understand their own conditions, the success rate and risk of surgical reversal, as well as the feasibility and cost of IVF, and make a decision after comprehensive consideration.
