Advantages of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. After the fertilized egg is cultivated to a certain degree in the laboratory, it is transplanted back to the mother's uterus for pregnancy. IVF can help many infertile couples achieve their fertility aspirations, and its advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Solve the problem of infertility
Ligation is a common contraceptive measure. The fallopian tube or vas deferens are occluded by surgery to achieve contraceptive effect. However, when couples decide to have children, the consequences of ligation are obvious. In this case, IVF technology provides a solution. Women with tubal ligation can use their own eggs for fertilization and pregnancy through IVF technology. Similarly, men with vasectomy can use their own sperm for fertilization and pregnancy through IVF technology.
For those couples with genetic diseases, IVF technology can also provide a choice. Through genetic screening, embryos without genetic disease genes can be screened for transfer, so as to reduce the risk of disease and bring healthy babies to couples.
In addition, IVF technology is also applicable to women who have insufficient egg quality or quantity due to physical conditions or age and other factors. By using donated high-quality eggs, these women also have the opportunity to realize their mothers' dreams.
2. Increase the pregnancy success rate
IVF technology helps to increase the success rate of pregnancy by cultivating the fertilized eggs in the laboratory to a certain extent and then transplanting them. In the laboratory, doctors can monitor the development of the fertilized eggs and choose the best time for transplantation. In addition, chromosome screening can be carried out to exclude abnormal embryo transfer and further improve the success rate.
Through IVF technology, embryos can be evaluated under different culture conditions, and the most promising embryos can be selected for transfer. This not only improves the success rate of pregnancy, but also reduces the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy will bring risks to the health of both mother and fetus, and selecting the best embryo for transfer will help to avoid these problems.
3. Help to postpone the childbearing age
In modern society, many women will choose to postpone the childbearing age due to personal and career reasons. However, the fertility of women gradually decreases with age, which leads to a higher proportion of infertility. IVF technology can help these women delay the birth of time. Women can collect eggs at a younger age and freeze them. Then, when appropriate, thaw the frozen eggs and use IVF technology for fertilization and transplantation.
This technology can provide women with a larger time window, so that they can have better arrangements for career and personal growth, and realize the role of mother at the best time.
4. Psychological support and hope
For those couples who have not been able to conceive naturally for a long time, IVF technology also brings psychological support and hope. During the IVF cycle, couples will receive the care and guidance of medical staff, which is particularly valuable under the uncertainty and pressure of the process. In addition, in the IVF cycle, couples often experience one or more transplant failures and retries, but each failure will bring more firm hope and effort.
In conclusion, IVF technology has obvious advantages in solving the problem of infertility, increasing the success rate of pregnancy, helping to postpone the age of childbearing, and providing psychological support and hope. For those couples who want to have healthy babies, IVF technology is an important choice.
