Who is the IVF technology applicable to?
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which is suitable for some specific people. The following will elaborate on the population applicable to IVF technology from four aspects: age factors, reproductive system diseases, infertility and genetic diseases.
Age factor
The age of women is one of the important factors affecting fertility. With the increase of age, the ovarian function of women will gradually decline, leading to the reduction of the quality and quantity of eggs. Therefore, IVF technology is applicable to older women, especially those over 40 years old. For these women, the quality and quantity of eggs may not be enough for natural pregnancy. Through IVF technology, multiple eggs can be collected for in vitro fertilization to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
In addition, the age of men also affects fertility. Compared with women, male fertility declines relatively slowly. However, older men may have a problem with declining sperm quality. For these men, IVF technology can also help them achieve their fertility aspirations through in vitro fertilization.
Reproductive system diseases
Some reproductive system diseases will affect women's fertility, making it difficult for them to conceive naturally. For example, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, fallopian tube blockage and other diseases will lead to ovulation dysfunction, fertilized eggs cannot be successfully implanted or fertilized eggs cannot reach the uterus through the fallopian tube. For patients with these diseases, IVF technology can help them achieve pregnancy and pregnancy through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
At the same time, some male reproductive system diseases, such as insufficient sperm number and low sperm vitality, can also lead to infertility. For these patients, IVF technology can improve the success rate of pregnancy by collecting and processing sperm in semen and selecting high-quality sperm for in vitro fertilization.
Infertility
Infertility refers to the condition that couples do not use contraception and are not pregnant after a certain period of time under certain sexual life conditions. IVF technology is widely applicable to couples suffering from infertility problems. IVF technology can provide a choice of assisted reproduction whether it is caused by female factors, male factors or both factors.
Genetic disease
Some couples carry potential genetic diseases, which may be passed on to the next generation through natural pregnancy. For couples with genetic diseases, IVF technology can conduct genetic screening, select healthy embryos for transplantation, and reduce the risk of passing on genetic diseases to the next generation.
In conclusion, IVF technology is applicable to older women, patients with reproductive system diseases, infertile couples and couples with genetic diseases. Through in vitro fertilization embryo transfer and other technical means, IVF technology provides these people with a choice of assisted reproduction and helps them realize their reproductive dreams.
