The success chance of IVF treatment for patients with premature ovarian failure
Premature ovarian failure (POF) refers to a disease in which women's ovarian function declines before the age of 40, leading to irregular menstrual cycles and the decline or disappearance of ovarian ovulation function. For women of childbearing age, premature ovarian failure may bring problems to their fertility. Test tube baby technology provides an opportunity for patients with premature ovarian failure, but its success needs to be evaluated according to the specific situation.
Influence of age
In the treatment of patients with premature ovarian failure, the age of patients is an important factor. With the growth of age, the quality and quantity of female eggs will gradually decrease. According to statistics, the success rate of IVF treatment for women over 35 years old is low, because their ovarian function has been damaged to a greater extent. Nevertheless, even in patients with premature ovarian failure, as long as the ovaries have normal eggs, IVF treatment may still be successful.
Under the guidance of doctors, patients can receive ovulation induction therapy to increase the number of eggs and the chance of ovulation in the ovary. At the same time, patients can also use assisted reproductive technologies, such as the donation of eggs or oocytes, to improve the chances of success of IVF treatment.
Ovarian function assessment
Before IVF treatment, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of ovarian function. The ovarian function of patients with premature ovarian failure is usually damaged, and it is difficult to conceive naturally. The evaluation included measurement of follicle stimulating hormone (AMH) level, basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level and ovarian ultrasound examination. These tests can help doctors determine whether the patient's ovarian function can still support IVF treatment.
If the ovarian function is good, the patient has a higher chance of pregnancy. However, if the ovarian function is poor, doctors may need to use higher doses of ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate the ovary in order to increase the number of eggs.
Select the right hospital and doctor
It is very important to select appropriate hospitals and doctors for IVF treatment of patients with premature ovarian failure. First of all, patients should choose doctors with rich experience and professional knowledge. Especially for patients with premature ovarian failure, doctors need to have a higher level of technology. Secondly, patients should choose hospitals with advanced equipment and good medical conditions to ensure the quality of diagnosis and treatment.
Real hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine have rich experience in IVF treatment and first-class medical facilities. In these hospitals, patients can get professional diagnosis and treatment programs, which greatly improves the chances of success of IVF treatment.
Summary
There is a chance of success in IVF treatment for patients with premature ovarian failure, but the situation of different patients will be different. Age, ovarian function, selection of appropriate hospitals and doctors and other factors will affect the success of IVF treatment.
Therefore, it is vital for patients with premature ovarian failure to seek professional medical advice and treatment as soon as possible. Only under the guidance of doctors, through comprehensive assessment and reasonable treatment, can we improve the chances of success of IVF treatment and help patients achieve their reproductive aspirations.
