The effect of ligation on IVF
Ligation is a common sterilization method, which can effectively prevent couples who do not want children from becoming pregnant. However, some people may change their wishes after surgery and hope to achieve fertility through IVF technology. This article will elaborate the influence of ligation on IVF from different aspects.
1. Reversibility of ligation
First, we need to understand the reversibility of ligation. There are two types of ligation: vasectomy and tubal ligation, which are difficult to reverse after surgery. However, the development of modern medicine provides a method called ligation and rehabilitation surgery, which can try to restore the patency of the vas deferens or fallopian tubes. Ligation and rehabilitation operations are carried out in some professional reproductive hospitals, such as the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The success rate of ligation and rehabilitation surgery depends on many factors, including the time interval after surgery, surgical method, age and personal physical condition. Although there is a certain success rate, not all operations can achieve IVF through ligation and rehabilitation.
2. Applicability of IVF technology
IVF technology is a method to help infertile couples achieve fertility through in vitro fertilization. It is mainly applicable to the following situations:
First of all, for women, IVF technology can be considered in cases such as oviduct obstruction or removal, abnormal or missing uterus, ovulation problems or low ovarian function.
Secondly, for men, the IVF technology can also be considered when the number of sperm is insufficient, the quality of sperm is poor or the sperm cannot be discharged naturally.
In essence, ligation is a contraceptive method, which does not belong to the scope of application of IVF technology. If you want to give birth through IVF technology after ligation, you need to consider ligation rehabilitation surgery.
3. Risk of ligation rehabilitation surgery
Although ligation rehabilitation surgery can restore the patency of vas deferens or fallopian tubes to a certain extent, it is not without risks. The possible complications include infection of surgical wound, bleeding, postoperative pain, etc. In addition, after successful surgery, there is no guarantee of natural pregnancy or successful birth through IVF technology.
Therefore, for couples who want to give birth through IVF technology, the risk and success rate of ligation rehabilitation surgery should be carefully considered before surgery.
4. Other birth options
Ligation may be an irreversible decision for some couples. In addition to IVF technology, there are other options that can realize the desire for fertility.
For example, couples can consider adopting, adopting or finding suitable sperm/egg donors. These options can satisfy the desire to have children, while avoiding the risk of ligation and rehabilitation surgery.
Summary
In a word, the reversibility of surgery and the success rate of ligation rehabilitation surgery determine whether the IVF technology can be used for fertility after ligation surgery. The ligation and rehabilitation operation has certain risks and limitations, which cannot guarantee the successful birth. Therefore, before ligation, couples should seriously consider their future fertility choices, understand the reversibility of surgery and the advantages and disadvantages of other fertility methods, so as to make wise decisions.
