What is IVF?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) technology. It combines sperm and egg in the laboratory, cultivates them into embryos, and then transplants the embryos into the female uterus to make them develop and become pregnant. This technique is usually used for couples who cannot conceive in a natural way. It may be because women have problems with fallopian tube disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, etc., or men have problems with sperm quality.
How to improve the success rate of IVF?
1. Optimize treatment plan and operation technology
The success of IVF treatment depends to a large extent on doctors' experience and operating skills. The doctor will make the most suitable treatment plan according to the couple's condition and individual characteristics, and ensure that each step is accurately controlled. For example, determine the best drug protocol to promote ovarian ovulation and control endometrial preparation, and ensure the optimal fertilization conditions of sperm and eggs in the laboratory.
At the same time, during embryo transfer, doctors will use ultrasound guidance technology to improve the accuracy and success rate of embryo implantation. The key to improve the success rate of IVF is to optimize the treatment scheme and operation technology.
2. Select high-quality embryos
In the process of IVF, doctors usually obtain multiple embryos, but not all embryos can successfully conceive. Therefore, selecting high-quality embryos is an important step to improve the success rate.
High quality embryos usually have the following characteristics: the embryonic cells are uniform, and the cells present regular shape and size; The embryo develops to an appropriate stage of cell division; The embryo envelope is intact without abnormal cells or fragments. By evaluating the appearance and cell characteristics of the embryo, doctors can select the embryo most likely to develop into a healthy baby for transplantation to improve the success rate.
In addition, embryo chromosome abnormalities may reduce the success rate of pregnancy. Therefore, for older women or couples at risk of genetic diseases, embryo chromosome screening can be considered to increase the success rate.
3. Focus on maternal health
Maternal health is another important factor in the success rate of IVF. Before receiving IVF treatment, women should receive a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that there is no potential disease or pathology affecting pregnancy. The common factors to be concerned are whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed, whether the endometrium is healthy, and whether there is endocrine disorder. The success rate of IVF can be improved by treating and recuperating these health problems.
4. Mental and psychological support
IVF treatment is a process full of expectations and challenges for couples. Long term treatment may cause stress and burden on the couple's psychology, which may adversely affect the success rate of treatment.
Therefore, in addition to the support of professional medical teams, couples also need the understanding and support of families and society in the process of IVF treatment. Mental and psychological support can help couples relieve stress, maintain a good attitude, and improve the success rate of IVF.
Summary
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. The success rate of IVF can be significantly improved by optimizing the treatment scheme and operation technology, selecting high-quality embryos, paying attention to maternal health and providing psychological support. However, each couple's situation is unique, and the success rate may vary from person to person. Therefore, it is recommended that couples should fully communicate with doctors when choosing IVF treatment, and formulate the most appropriate plan and expectation to increase the chances of success.
