The influence of smoking on the success rate of IVF pregnancy
More and more couples choose IVF technology to achieve their fertility aspirations. However, many people do not know whether smoking will affect the success rate of IVF pregnancy. This article will elaborate on the relationship between smoking and IVF from the following four aspects.
1. Smoking and female reproductive system
Smoking will directly affect the female reproductive system. Studies have found that smoking will lead to the decline of female egg quality, increase the risk of ovarian dysfunction, and may cause premature ovarian failure. These problems will reduce women's chances of successful pregnancy. In addition, smoking also affects the function of the endometrium, making it unsuitable for embryo implantation.
In addition to directly affecting the reproductive system, smoking will also increase the risk of women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which will seriously interfere with women's menstrual cycle and ovarian function, thus affecting the success rate of IVF.
2. Smoking and male reproductive system
Smoking is harmful not only to women, but also to the male reproductive system. Smoking will lead to a decline in the number and quality of sperm, increase the proportion of deformed sperm, and reduce sperm activity. These problems will directly affect male fertility. In addition, smoking can also lead to erectile dysfunction in men, thus affecting the possibility of successful IVF.
3. Smoking and embryonic development
Smoking also has a significant impact on embryonic development. Research has found that smoking will increase the risk of embryo stop development, implantation failure and abortion. The harmful chemicals in tobacco can destroy the DNA of embryos, leading to gene mutation and chromosome abnormalities. In addition, smoking also affects the speed of cell division and development of embryos, thereby reducing the quality of embryos. These problems will directly affect the success rate of IVF pregnancy.
In addition, smoking also affects the process of embryo implantation in the uterus. Studies have shown that harmful substances in tobacco can affect the blood supply and nutrition supply of the endometrium, making it difficult for the embryo to take root in the endometrium.
4. Smoking and IVF cycle
Smoking also has adverse effects on the operation of IVF. Before IVF technology, doctors usually advise patients to quit smoking for a period of time. Smoking will reduce women's response to ovulation promoting drugs, increase the difficulty of extracting superconductors, and increase the risk of complications in the IVF cycle.
Although IVF technology can help some couples with fertility difficulties realize their dreams, smoking will have a significant impact on the success rate of pregnancy. Smoking will directly affect the reproductive system of women and men, damage the quality of eggs and sperm, affect the development and implantation of embryos, and also affect the smooth progress of IVF cycle. Therefore, for those couples who plan to carry out IVF, smoking cessation is an important step to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
Please do not ignore the influence of smoking on the success rate of IVF pregnancy. If you need IVF technology, please give up smoking in advance and consult a professional doctor for advice. Giving up smoking will pave a more smooth way for your IVF.
