Aspect 1: Influence on fertility after ligation
Ligation is a common method of contraception. The purpose of contraception is achieved by ligating or blocking the fallopian tube or spermatic cord to prevent the combination of sperm and egg. However, ligation is not completely irreversible, and some people may want to restore fertility after a period of time, especially when divorce, remarriage or family status changes after ligation.
Before considering whether IVF is feasible, we should first evaluate the impact of ligation on fertility. The success rate of restoring ligation depends on many factors, including the type of surgery, the time after surgery, and individual differences of patients. Some medical institutions provide ligation reversal surgery to restore fertility by repairing the patency of the fallopian tube or spermatic cord. However, the success of reversal surgery does not guarantee a successful pregnancy.
Therefore, if the chance of fertility recovery is low after ligation surgery or natural pregnancy is still impossible after successful reversal surgery, IVF may be a feasible option.
Aspect 2: Principles of IVF technology
IVF technology is a kind of medical assisted reproduction technology, which realizes pregnancy and delivery by culturing the fertilized eggs in vitro to reach a certain development stage, and then implanting them into the mother's uterus. IVF technology can help those who are unable to conceive naturally for a variety of reasons to achieve fertility aspirations.
The basic steps of IVF technology include: egg collection, sperm extraction, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. Egg collection is usually performed by ultrasound guided transvaginal puncture or laparoscopic surgery. Sperm can be obtained by natural ejaculation, semen collection or sperm biopsy. In vitro fertilization is the artificial fertilization of eggs and sperm in a culture dish. Embryo culture is usually carried out in the laboratory. After at least eight cell stage or blastocyst stage, the embryo is transferred to the uterus of the patient.
With IVF technology, pregnancy can be achieved even if the fallopian tube or spermatic cord cannot work normally after ligation. However, IVF technology is not applicable to everyone, and every patient needs to be consulted and evaluated according to their individual conditions.
Aspect 3: Risks and complications of ligation and IVF
Ligation is a relatively safe operation, but it still has certain risks and complications. Ligation may lead to infection, bleeding or tissue damage at the operation site. Reverse surgery itself may also bring certain complications, such as fallopian tube stenosis or varicocele.
IVF technology also has certain risks and complications. The process of egg collection may lead to endometrial effusion, ovarian cysts or abdominal bleeding. In vitro fertilization and embryo culture may be at risk of abnormal embryonic development or low survival rate. Complications such as endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy or multiple pregnancy may occur after embryo transfer.
Considering IVF after ligation, patients need to fully understand these risks and complications, and consult and discuss with doctors in detail to make wise decisions.
Aspect 4: The success rate and hospital selection of IVF after ligation
The success rate of IVF after ligation is related to multiple factors, including age, basic health status, type of ligation and success of reversal surgery. Generally speaking, the younger the patient is, the higher the success rate of ligation reversal is, the higher the success rate of IVF may be.
The selection of appropriate hospitals and professional doctors is also crucial to the success of IVF. When choosing hospitals, patients can refer to the hospital's reputation, doctors' experience and successful cases, and try to choose formal and qualified medical institutions for consultation and treatment.
To sum up, it is a feasible choice to carry out IVF after ligation, but it is necessary to fully consider the impact of surgery on fertility, the principle of IVF technology, the risks and complications of surgery and IVF, as well as the success rate and hospital selection. After a comprehensive evaluation, the patient and the doctor can jointly decide whether to choose IVF to achieve their fertility aspirations.
