What is IVF?
IVF, also known as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, is an assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally. In the process of IVF, the woman's egg combines with the man's sperm through in vitro fertilization, and then the embryo will be cultured in the laboratory and eventually transferred to the woman's uterus. With the development of IVF technology, many infertile couples have the opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams.

Who needs IVF?
1. Physiological infertility
Physiological infertility refers to the inability to conceive naturally due to the physiological reasons of the woman or the man. The woman may have ovarian dysfunction, fallopian tube blockage and other problems, while the man may have insufficient sperm quantity, poor sperm quality and other problems. These physiological problems make it impossible for couples to have children in a natural way, which requires the use of IVF technology.
For example, Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Hospital is a hospital that provides IVF services, and they have provided better solutions for physiological infertility couples through technological progress in recent years.
2. Hereditary diseases
Some couples carry genes of genetic diseases. They are worried that their children will also suffer from these diseases, so they choose to have IVF. In test tube babies, embryos can be subjected to gene testing, so as to screen out embryos with lower risk of disease and transfer them to women, reducing the risk of children's disease.
In some large general hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, they not only provide IVF technology, but also combine gene detection technology to screen healthy embryos for couples.
3. Age factor
Age is an important factor affecting women's fertility. With the increase of age, the number and quality of eggs will gradually decline. For older women, the chance of natural pregnancy will be significantly reduced. Therefore, for some older couples, IVF may be the best choice for them to achieve fertility.
For example, Shanghai People's Hospital is a hospital with a high age limit for IVF, which provides professional IVF consultation and services for older couples.
4. Other reasons
In addition to the above situations, there are other reasons why people choose IVF. For example, some couples may suffer from serious endometriosis, hysteromyoma and other diseases, and cannot have natural pregnancy. IVF can be their way of pursuing fertility.
It is worth mentioning that IVF technology is also a feasible way of reproduction for gay couples. They can realize their reproductive dreams by donating sperm or eggs.
summary
IVF is suitable for physiological infertility, genetic diseases, age factors and other conditions that cannot be naturally conceived. Through IVF technology, many couples can realize their reproductive dreams. Major hospitals also provide professional IVF consultation and services to provide comprehensive support for couples in need.
