What is the fourth generation of IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their fertility aspirations. With the progress of science and technology, IVF technology is also developing. The fourth generation of IVF refers to the most advanced assisted reproductive technology. Compared with traditional IVF technology, this technology has made significant progress in pregnancy success rate and embryo selection.
Improve pregnancy success rate
The fourth generation IVF technology has significantly improved the probability of successful pregnancy by combining various auxiliary technologies and means. First, the optimization of technology makes the culture environment of embryos more stable, which is conducive to the development of embryos. Secondly, the fourth generation IVF technology has introduced methods such as gene screening and embryo evaluation, which can more accurately select better quality embryos for transplantation. In addition, through individualized treatment plan, customized treatment was carried out according to the specific situation of the couple, which further improved the pregnancy success rate.
For example, West China Hospital in China is one of the hospitals adopting the fourth generation IVF technology. The hospital conducts a comprehensive assessment of the cases of each couple and formulates specific treatment plans for each couple from the perspective of individualization. In the process of embryo transfer, the hospital adopts minimally invasive surgery technology, which can reduce injuries and improve the pregnancy rate.
Breakthrough in embryo selection
The fourth generation IVF technology has made breakthrough progress in embryo selection. Traditional IVF technology can only evaluate the quality of embryos by simple indicators such as appearance and development speed. The fourth generation IVF technology introduces advanced technologies such as gene screening and embryo evaluation, which can more accurately assess the genetic status of embryos and potential disease risks.
For example, the Garden Fertility Clinic in the UK is one of the hospitals adopting the fourth generation IVF technology. The clinic uses gene screening technology to detect whether an embryo carries a genetic disease, and screen before transplantation to ensure the health of the selected embryo and reduce the risk of disease.
Reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy
The fourth generation IVF technology has made significant progress in controlling the risk of multiple pregnancy. The traditional IVF technology is easy to lead to multiple pregnancies due to the transfer of multiple embryos in one cycle. The fourth generation IVF technology can select the best embryo for transfer through accurate embryo evaluation and transfer, thus reducing the risk of multiple pregnancy.
For example, the Jenner Fertility Clinic in the United States introduced the fourth generation of IVF technology. Through embryo screening and evaluation, the best number of embryos can be accurately determined according to the situation of each couple for transfer, so as to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy.
Summary
With the help of new technology, the fourth generation IVF technology has significantly improved the success rate of pregnancy. Through embryo gene screening and evaluation, select the best embryo for transplantation to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy. West China Hospital, Garden Fertility Clinic and Jenner Fertility Clinic are all medical institutions that implement the fourth generation IVF technology. They have brought higher hopes and opportunities to couples who cannot conceive naturally through personalized treatment programs and advanced embryo selection technology.
