Polycystic ovary syndrome and test tube baby
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological disease, which is characterized by polycystic ovary, hormone imbalance and ovulation problems. For many women with PCOS, pregnancy may become difficult. However, IVF technology can help these patients achieve their dream of motherhood.
1. PCOS and IVF
PCOS usually causes ovulation difficulties in women, so the possibility of natural pregnancy is low. IVF technology helps women with PCOS to become pregnant through assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. First, doctors will give patients hormone therapy to stimulate ovarian ovulation. Then, the mature eggs are collected through the process of egg retrieval, and are fertilized in vitro with the partner's sperm in the laboratory. Finally, the embryo will be cultured in a petri dish for several days and implanted into the patient's uterus through embryo transfer to promote the occurrence of pregnancy.
Although PCOS will lead to difficulties in pregnancy, the success rate of IVF technology is high, because doctors can improve the possibility of egg fertilization by regulating the physiological environment of patients.

3. Success rate of IVF technology
The success rate of IVF technology will be affected by many factors, including age, reproductive history, egg and sperm quality, etc. However, for women with PCOS, IVF technology can improve the possibility of pregnancy. According to statistics, the success rate of IVF technology is generally between 40% and 60% worldwide.
Although the success rate of IVF technology is high, there are still some risks and challenges. Women with PCOS should fully discuss with their doctors and understand the possible risks and consequences before accepting IVF technology.
