What is IVF?

Adult IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, also known as IVF. It refers to the process of fertilizing male and female germ cells in the laboratory, and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the female uterus for pregnancy. IVF technology provides hope for many couples who cannot conceive naturally due to infertility and other reasons.

The process of IVF pregnancy

The formation of IVF involves several steps. First of all, doctors will conduct physical examinations on couples to understand their reproductive health. After that, women receive ovulation promoting drugs to increase the amount of ovulation. Later, doctors use ultrasound to monitor women's ovulation process and take out eggs during ovulation.

After taking the eggs, the doctor places the female eggs and the male sperm together in the laboratory dish for in vitro fertilization. If fertilization is successful, the resulting embryos will be cultured in the laboratory for several days. The doctor will evaluate the quality and development of the embryo, and then select the best embryo to transfer to the uterus of the woman. After embryo transfer, women may need hormone therapy to promote implantation and pregnancy.

Success rate and risk of IVF pregnancy

The success rate of IVF is largely affected by many factors, such as female age, reproductive health and embryo quality. Generally speaking, the success rate of young women is higher, but the older the age, the lower the success rate.

However, there are certain risks in IVF pregnancy. For example, the process of egg retrieval may cause side effects such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Hormone therapy can also lead to mood swings and other discomfort. In addition, there are certain risks of embryo transfer failure, multiple pregnancy and premature delivery.

Clinical application and development of adult IVF

The technology of adult IVF has made great development and application all over the world. Many famous hospitals and reproductive centers provide IVF services, such as Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States and London Zurich Hospital in the United Kingdom.

In addition to adjuvant treatment of infertility, IVF technology can also be used for genetic disease screening and gene editing. By screening and modifying the genome of the fertilized egg, couples can avoid the transmission of genetic diseases and increase the probability of healthy babies.

summary

Adult IVF is a method of using in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve pregnancy. It has gone through many steps, including in vitro fertilization of eggs and sperm, embryo culture and transplantation. Although the success rate is limited, adult IVF has been widely used around the world and has achieved remarkable results. In the future, with the further development of science and technology, IVF technology is expected to bring fertility hope to more couples.
