Introduction to IVF technology
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which can realize the fertility desire of infertile couples by cultivating the fertilized eggs in vitro and then implanting healthy embryos into the mother's uterus. The development of IVF technology has a history of many years, and now it has been successfully applied around the world, helping countless couples realize their beautiful dreams in life.
Common IVF technology
IVF technology will use different assisted reproductive technologies under different circumstances. The following are some common IVF technologies.
Conventional IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the earliest IVF technologies, and also one of the simplest assisted reproductive technologies. In this technology, doctors will artificially fertilize the germ cells of both women and men in vitro by extracting their eggs and sperm. The fertilized eggs will be cultured and developed in a petri dish for several days, and healthy embryos will be selected for implantation.
This technique is applicable to a variety of infertility symptoms, including female fallopian tube obstruction, male low sperm quality and other problems. On the basis of in vitro fertilization technology, there are further technological developments, such as embryo monitoring and screening technology, to improve the implantation rate of transferred embryos.
Egg Donation
For women who cannot produce healthy eggs, egg donation technology is a solution. In this technology, healthy women donate their own eggs, and after in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, healthy embryos are implanted into the donated women's uterus.
Egg donation technology is often applicable to older women with low ovarian function or hereditary diseases. Through egg donation, these women can enjoy the happiness of their mothers and reduce the risk of genetic inheritance.
Embryo Cryopreservation
Embryo freezing technology is to freeze and save surplus healthy embryos for use in subsequent cycles. Through this technology, couples can choose the best time for embryo implantation in the future.
Embryo freezing technology can also be used to improve the success rate of IVF technology. Sometimes, after a test tube baby cycle, some embryos may not be implanted. Cryopreserve these embryos for the next implantation.
Embryo Implantation
Embryo wedging technology plays an important role in IVF technology. In this technology, doctors will choose the right time to implant healthy embryos into women's uterus. After successful implantation, the embryo will be implanted in the uterus and continue to develop.
The success rate of embryo wedging depends on many factors, such as embryo quality, endometrial status, etc. Doctors will make customized treatment plans and technical choices according to individual conditions to achieve the best eugenic effect.
Summary
Test tube baby technology is an outstanding product of modern medical technology, which provides hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Common IVF technologies include in vitro fertilization, egg donation, embryo freezing and embryo wedging. Through scientific operation and doctor's guidance in formal medical institutions, these technologies can help couples realize their reproductive dreams and create good opportunities for the coming of new life.
