Is the success rate of IVF related to age?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which combines sperm and egg in the laboratory to form an embryo, and then implants the embryo into the female uterus to obtain pregnancy. However, is the success rate of IVF related to age? This issue will be discussed from different perspectives.

Physiological mechanism affects the success rate of IVF

Age is an important factor in determining female fertility. With the growth of age, women's ovarian reserve, egg quality and egg number gradually decrease, leading to a reduced chance of successful pregnancy. According to the statistics of the American Association for Reproductive Sciences, the success rate of women under 30 years old using their own eggs for IVF is about 50%, while the success rate of women over 40 years old is only about 20%.

In addition, the growth of female age also increases the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities. For example, the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in women over 35 years of age has increased significantly, and embryonic chromosomal abnormalities are one of the main reasons for the failure of IVF.

Therefore, in terms of physiological mechanism, age is an important factor affecting the success rate of IVF.

Treatment plan has an impact on the success rate of IVF

In addition to age, the treatment scheme of IVF will also affect the success rate. Different hospitals and doctors may adopt different treatment schemes, including drug treatment, embryo culture environment, embryo transfer time, etc.

For example, the use of ovulation promoting drugs can increase the number of eggs and the chance of successful pregnancy, but also increase the risk of multiple pregnancy. The choice of embryo transfer time will also affect the success rate. Depending on the specific situation, you can choose 3 days of implantation or 5 days of implantation.

Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a personalized treatment plan and adjust it according to the specific conditions of patients to improve the success rate of IVF.

The influence of assistive technology on the success rate of IVF

In addition to the basic IVF technology, some auxiliary technologies can also increase the success rate. For example, embryo chromosome screening technology (PGS) can screen embryos with abnormal chromosomes, so as to select better quality embryos for transplantation and improve the success rate.

In addition, frozen embryo transfer (FET) can also increase the success rate of IVF. By cryopreservation of surplus embryos and embryo transfer at an appropriate time, we can not only reduce the stimulation to women's bodies, but also select the best time and embryo.

Summary

In conclusion, the success rate of IVF is closely related to age. The growth of women's age will affect the quality and quantity of eggs and reduce the chance of successful pregnancy. At the same time, the choice of treatment plan and the application of auxiliary technology will also affect the success rate. Therefore, when conducting IVF treatment, it is necessary to comprehensively consider age factors, individual differences and treatment plans, and work closely with professional doctors to improve the success rate of IVF.
