What are the effects of PGD IVF on children?
With the progress of medical technology, PGD test tube baby technology is more and more widely used. PGD test tube baby is a technology to predict genetic abnormalities and genetic diseases of embryos before implantation by means of genetic detection and embryo gene analysis after in vitro fertilization embryo development reaches a certain stage. The influence of PGD test tube baby technology on children is multifaceted.
1. Avoid transmission of genetic diseases
PGD test tube baby technology carries out gene analysis at the early stage of fertilization embryo development, which can eliminate the risk of some genetic diseases. For couples with genetic disease mutations in their families, PGD test tube baby technology can avoid the transmission of genetic diseases. For example, some rare genetic diseases, chromosome abnormalities, hereditary cancers, etc., through the screening of PGD technology, healthy embryos can be selected for transplantation to reduce the risk of children affected by genetic diseases.
In addition, PGD test tube baby technology can also help couples predict the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, bond defects, etc. If chromosomal abnormalities are detected in the embryo, the couple can choose not to transplant, so as to avoid the influence of chromosomal abnormalities on the child and improve the health of the next generation.
2. Prevention of multiple pregnancy risk
In traditional IVF technology, multiple embryos are often implanted at one time during transplantation, in order to improve the implantation rate. However, multiple pregnancy has a high health risk to children, which not only increases the probability of complications during pregnancy, but also increases the health burden of newborns.
PGD test tube baby technology can evaluate the quality and health of embryos through gene analysis, select high-quality embryos for transplantation, and avoid the occurrence of multiple embryos transferred at one time. This can not only reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, but also improve the healthy birth rate of infants.
3. Improve the fertility success rate
PGD test tube baby technology can also evaluate the implantation ability and implantation potential of embryos and improve the fertility success rate of test tube babies while analyzing embryo genes. Selecting healthy embryos for transplantation can reduce the probability of embryo implantation failure and improve the success rate of embryo implantation.
In addition, PGD IVF technology is also in the process of ovulation induction, egg retrieval, embryo transfer and other steps. Through careful operation and monitoring, the level of IVF assisted reproductive technology has been improved. This has also indirectly improved the fertility success rate of IVF, providing more opportunities for couples to realize their dreams and have healthy children.
4. Increase psychological pressure
Although PGD IVF technology provides a means of diagnosis and screening, for couples, selecting the right embryo and waiting for IVF results is still a process full of anxiety and pressure. Couples may face such problems as the difficult decision of embryo transfer, the uncertainty of waiting for pregnancy, and the fear of failure.
In addition, couples who have experienced assisted reproductive technology for many times attach great importance to the success of IVF, because they came to PGD IVF technology after a long time and many attempts. Therefore, the failure of IVF may bring more psychological burden and frustration to couples.
In conclusion, PGD test tube baby technology has a positive impact on avoiding the transmission of genetic diseases, preventing the risk of multiple pregnancy, and improving the fertility success rate. However, it also adds psychological pressure to couples. Couples should consider various factors comprehensively when choosing PGD IVF technology, and make decisions under the guidance of professional doctors.
