What factors affect the success rate of second-generation IVF?
The development of second-generation IVF technology has made many infertile couples have the hope to realize their fertility dreams. However, the success rate of second-generation IVF is not completely certain, and is affected by many factors. The success rate of second-generation IVF will be described in detail in the following four aspects: embryo quality, patient age, treatment experience and hospital selection.
1、 Embryo quality
Embryo quality is one of the most important factors for the success rate of second generation IVF. In the process of embryo culture, doctors will evaluate the development and quality of embryos and select the most promising embryos for transplantation. The good embryo quality usually shows that the cells are uniform, the number of cells is appropriate, and there are no obvious fragments and abnormalities. Therefore, the better the embryo quality, the higher the possibility of successful transfer.
However, embryo quality is affected by many factors. The age of the patient, the quality of eggs and sperm, in vitro fertilization and culture technology, and the process of embryo freezing and thawing will all affect the quality of embryos. Therefore, in the process of second-generation IVF, doctors need to consider these factors comprehensively to select the best embryo.
In addition, the number of embryos transferred will also affect the success rate. In general, transferring multiple embryos will increase the success rate, but also increase the risk of multiple pregnancies. Therefore, doctors need to decide the number of embryos transferred according to the specific conditions and risks of patients.
2、 Patient's age
The patient's age is one of the important factors that affect the success rate of the second generation IVF. The number and quality of female eggs will decline with the increase of age, especially for women over 35 years old. Higher age will increase the difficulty of egg fertilization and embryo implantation, thus reducing the success rate. Statistics show that the success rate of the second generation IVF is more than 40% for women under 35 years old, while the success rate of women over 35 years old is significantly reduced.
For men, the influence of age on sperm quality also exists. With the increase of age, the number and mobility of sperm will decline, which will have a certain impact on the ability of fertilization. Therefore, the age of men also has an important impact on the success rate of the second generation of IVF.
3、 Treatment experience
The experience and professional level of doctors and technical teams are also important factors affecting the success rate of second-generation IVF. Doctors have rich experience in appropriate embryo culture conditions, embryo selection and transfer timing, which can improve the success rate. In addition, doctors' operating skills and the formulation of individualized treatment plans for patients will also affect the success rate.
Therefore, when selecting hospitals and doctors, patients should consider the professional level and quality assurance system of hospitals. For example, hospitals with rich experience and good reputation such as the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the Reproductive Center of Shanghai Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital can provide high-quality second-generation IVF services.
4、 Hospital selection
In addition to doctors' experience, hospital equipment and technology will also affect the success rate of second-generation IVF. Advanced laboratory equipment and advanced embryo culture technology can improve the quality of embryo culture, thereby improving the success rate. In addition, the size and resource allocation of hospitals will also have an impact on the efficacy of second-generation IVF.
summary
In conclusion, the success rate of second-generation IVF is affected by many factors, such as embryo quality, patient age, treatment experience and hospital selection. Good embryo quality, younger patient age, experienced doctors and technical teams, and advanced medical equipment and technology all contribute to improving the success rate of second-generation IVF. When selecting the second-generation IVF technology, patients should take these factors into consideration and select appropriate hospitals and professional teams to improve the probability of success.
