What is the key to the health of IVF babies: understand the safeguard measures and doubts
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has made remarkable progress in the past decades. However, because it involves the creation and health of human life, special attention should be paid to the health of infants when using this technology. This article will elaborate on the health of IVF from two aspects: safeguard measures and doubts, and discuss the role of some real hospitals in this regard.
Safeguard measures
The development of IVF technology is inseparable from a series of strict safeguards. First of all, when selecting suitable patients for IVF treatment, doctors usually conduct detailed physical examination and medical history assessment for patients to ensure that they do not have serious genetic diseases or potential health problems. Secondly, doctors will strictly follow the aseptic operation, the use of fresh sperm and eggs and other norms in the process of in vitro fertilization to maximize the health of infants. In addition, IVF usually carries out gene testing before embryo transfer to screen out embryos carrying serious risk of genetic diseases, so as to reduce the incidence of genetic diseases.
Hospitals play an important role in ensuring the health of IVF babies. For example, Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China, as a well-known general hospital, has rich experience and advanced equipment in the field of reproductive medicine. The hospital strictly abides by relevant laws and regulations, and provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment services for patients, including the whole process monitoring of infants, rational drug use and postoperative rehabilitation guidance. Through these safeguard measures, the health of IVF is effectively guaranteed.
Doubtful points
Although IVF technology has taken a series of measures to ensure the health of infants, there are still some doubts that need attention. First of all, long-term hormone therapy and drugs used in the process of in vitro fertilization may have a certain impact on the health of patients. Secondly, there are certain operational risks in the process of manual operation, which may have a certain impact on the health of embryos. In addition, IVF technology has increased the risk of multiple births to some extent, and the birth of multiple births may increase the health problems of children.
In order to solve these doubts, some hospitals are constantly carrying out technological innovation and research. For example, the New York Presbyterian Hospital in the United States has adopted more advanced embryo culture technology, which makes embryos closer to the maternal environment in vitro culture environment, and helps to improve the health rate of infants. In addition, some hospitals are also actively carrying out long-term follow-up studies on IVF technology to assess the health of infants in terms of growth, development, cognition and behavior.
summary
The key to the health of IVF lies in ensuring measures and resolving doubts. By strictly selecting patients, following standard operation and gene screening and other safeguards, we can maximize the health of infants. At the same time, through technological innovation and long-term follow-up research to solve the existing doubts, further improve the success rate and health rate of IVF. Real hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and New York Presbyterian Hospital have played a key role in this regard.
