Concept of IVF
IVF, or in vitro fertilization embryo transfer, is an assisted reproductive technology designed to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. The process of IVF needs to go through the stages of egg retrieval, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, among which scientific selection and treatment of eggs and sperm is one of the important links for the success of IVF.
First of all, it is critical to carry out IVF operation in a strong hospital. For example, Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one of the most famous medical institutions in China. It has an experienced team and can provide the most advanced reproductive technology and equipment in China.
Secondly, preparation is very important. Couples should have a comprehensive physical examination before IVF to ensure their health. Doctors will make personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of each couple. Under the guidance of the doctor, the woman needs hormone therapy to promote ovarian development and prepare for egg retrieval. At the same time, the man needs to provide semen samples.
In the process of IVF, egg retrieval is a crucial step. The doctor will take out the mature eggs in the ovary through ultrasound guided puncture technology. These eggs will be fertilized with sperm in vitro, usually in a greenhouse in vitro. The embryos formed after fertilization will be selected, the best quality embryos will be transferred to the woman's uterus, and other embryos can be stored in freezing for future use.
Success rate of IVF
The success rate of IVF is related to many factors, including age, constitution and other potential physiological and genetic factors. Young women usually have a higher success rate because their ovaries are stronger and their eggs are of better quality.
In addition, the level of technology and equipment of the hospital is also an important factor in determining the success rate. Take Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example. Their laboratory equipment is advanced, and doctors have rich experience, so their success rate is high.
It is worth mentioning that for those couples who failed to transfer the fertilized eggs of IVF, they can consider carrying out second child IVF. Because through the first IVF experience, doctors can better understand the situation of the couple, and make adjustments in the next treatment to improve the success rate.
The changes brought by IVF
The development of IVF technology has brought hope to couples who cannot conceive naturally. Through IVF, they have the opportunity to have their own children and realize their dreams as parents. In addition, IVF technology has also played a significant role in the treatment of some diseases that cannot be naturally conceived.
In addition, the continuous development and improvement of IVF technology has also promoted medical progress. Through careful research on eggs and sperm, IVF technology is expected to play a greater role in solving other fertility problems, bringing joy and hope to more families.
Summary
IVF is a way to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of procreation through assisted reproductive technology. The strength of the hospital, preparation, egg retrieval process and embryo transfer are all important factors affecting the success of IVF. Young couples and powerful hospitals usually have higher success rates. IVF not only brings opportunities to change the lives of couples, but also promotes the development of medicine. The continuous progress of IVF technology will bring hope and happiness to more families.
