Birth of IVF technology
IVF technology is an innovation with important milestone significance in human assisted reproductive technology. This technology was born in Cambridge University, England in 1978, and was successfully applied to human reproduction for the first time by Dr. Crosby and Professor Edwards. The core of IVF technology is in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, which has brought great hope and change to infertile patients.
The birth of IVF technology stems from the in-depth study of infertility. Scientists have found that infertility is often caused by abnormal function of male or female reproductive system. In order to help these couples achieve their reproductive aspirations, researchers began to explore a way to solve the problem of infertility through in vitro fertilization and embryo culture.
The success of IVF technology is inseparable from the progress of several key steps and medical equipment. First, by using drugs to stimulate female ovulation, enough eggs can be obtained for in vitro fertilization. Then, men provide semen samples, and sperm and eggs are fertilized in vitro in the laboratory to form embryos. *Later, doctors implanted the embryo into a woman's uterus in the hope of successfully implanting and developing into a healthy baby.
The development of IVF technology is also inseparable from the progress of medical devices and laboratory equipment. Accurate temperature control system, high-quality culture medium and improvement of embryo screening method have greatly improved the success rate of IVF technology. In addition, with the development of gene detection technology, IVF technology can also help couples prevent the inheritance of some genetic diseases, so that they can give birth to healthy babies.
The help of IVF technology to infertile patients
Test tube baby technology provides the possibility of realizing fertility desire for infertile patients. The following is the help of IVF technology for infertile patients:
First of all, IVF technology can help those infertility problems caused by blockage or abnormal function of female fallopian tubes. By directly implanting the fertilized egg into the uterus, the problem of the fallopian tube is bypassed, and the chance of pregnancy is brought to women.
Secondly, IVF technology can also help those infertility caused by male sperm quality problems. Through in vitro fertilization, high-quality sperm can be selected for fertilization to improve the probability of pregnancy.
In addition, IVF technology can also help couples with genetic defects. Through gene testing of embryos, embryos without genetic diseases can be screened and implanted into the uterus to avoid passing on genetic diseases to the next generation.
*Later, IVF technology is also very helpful for older women. With the growth of age, the quality and quantity of female eggs will gradually decline, leading to infertility. Through IVF technology, these women can use eggs from young donors for fertilization and embryo culture, which improves their chances of success.
Model hospital: The First Hospital of Jilin University
The First Hospital of Jilin University is one of the demonstration hospitals in the field of assisted reproductive technology in China, and also one of the hospitals in China that carry out IVF technology early. The hospital has a special reproductive medical center, equipped with advanced equipment and important laboratories, and has an experienced team of experts.
The Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Hospital of Jilin University provides comprehensive infertility diagnosis and treatment services, including IVF technology, artificial insemination, egg and sperm freezing, etc. The center is famous for its efficient, safe and successful technology, and has helped countless couples achieve their reproductive aspirations.
Summary
As an important assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology has brought hope and change to infertile patients. Through in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, infertile patients have the opportunity to achieve fertility. The help of IVF technology to infertile patients is mainly reflected in solving fallopian tube blockage, male sperm quality problems, genetic diseases and aging. The First Hospital of Jilin University, as a demonstration hospital of assisted reproductive technology in China, has rich experience and high-level technology in IVF technology, providing help and support for many infertile patients.
