Applicability of IVF treatment

Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for many infertile patients. The following details the scope of application of IVF treatment in terms of age, ovarian function, oviduct patency and male factors.

Age

IVF treatment is very helpful for older women. Generally, women's fertility will decline with age, especially after the age of 35. Therefore, IVF treatment is a feasible option for women over 35 years old who have difficulty in natural pregnancy. In addition, women over 40 years old have fewer opportunities for natural pregnancy, and IVF can bring these women a higher chance of pregnancy.

However, IVF does not mean that there is no age limit. If a woman is too young and her ovaries function well, she can try natural pregnancy or other uncomplicated treatments in other ways.

ovarian function

IVF treatment is suitable for some patients with abnormal ovarian function. Ovarian dysfunction may include premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. For these patients, the quality and quantity of eggs will be affected, and the chance of natural pregnancy is very low. IVF treatment can increase the chance of pregnancy by means of superovulation and in vitro fertilization.

In addition, for women with poor ovarian function who have not yet reached premature ovarian failure or polycystic ovary syndrome, IVF is also a feasible option.

Tubal patency

IVF treatment is also applicable to patients with abnormal tubal patency. Abnormal oviduct patency is one of the common causes of infertility. Problems such as tubal obstruction and tubal inflammation will prevent eggs and sperm from meeting smoothly, thus reducing the chance of pregnancy. IVF treatment can bypass the fallopian tube, combine the egg and sperm in vitro, and then transplant the fertilized egg into the uterus to improve the chance of pregnancy.

The inspection of oviduct patency and related treatment are also important steps before IVF treatment. If there is a serious problem with the fallopian tube, it may need to be solved by surgery or other means.

Male factors

IVF treatment is also applicable to infertility caused by male factors. Male factors may include poor sperm quantity or quality, and the presence of seriously deformed sperm in semen. For these problems, in vitro fertilization can be used to select high-quality sperm for combination to improve the chance of pregnancy.

However, under normal circumstances, male factors usually need to be determined through semen analysis and other relevant tests. If the infertility caused by male problems is very serious, it may be necessary to take other treatments or use third-party sperm.

summary

The IVF treatment in Peking University Hospital is applicable to infertility patients caused by older age, abnormal ovarian function, abnormal oviduct patency and male factors. IVF treatment can effectively improve the chance of pregnancy through in vitro fertilization. However, the situation of each patient should be analyzed in a specific way, so that it can be evaluated and suggested by professional doctors in detail.
