Test tube baby taboo
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who are difficult to conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, not everyone is suitable for IVF. The following four aspects introduce some situations that are not suitable for IVF.
Age
Age is an important factor, which affects the quality and quantity of female eggs. Women's reproductive capacity will gradually decline as they grow older. Generally speaking, women over 35 years old need to pay special attention to the taboos of IVF. After the age of 35, the quality and quantity of female eggs will decrease sharply, which increases the risk of chromosomal abnormal embryos, leading to an increase in the probability of miscarriage or congenital abnormalities. Therefore, doctors will evaluate whether it is suitable for IVF according to women's age and ovarian function.
In addition, the age of men may also affect the success rate of IVF. The study found that too old men will lead to the decrease of sperm quantity and sperm quality, which will affect the ability of fertilization and embryonic development.
Physical health
IVF babies need to undergo a series of physical examinations and treatment processes. Therefore, health status is also an important consideration before IVF. IVF is not suitable for people with serious gynecological diseases, reproductive system abnormalities or other serious chronic diseases. For example, women with uterine malformations, severe endometriosis or severe tubal obstruction may lead to a decline in the success rate of IVF due to abnormal reproductive system.
In addition, some serious chronic diseases, such as heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes, may also affect the treatment safety during IVF and maternal reproductive risk. Therefore, couples with health problems need to consult a doctor before IVF to ensure their own safety.
Sperm and egg quality problems
The success of IVF is closely related to the quality of sperm and eggs of both men and women. If the number of male sperm is too small or the sperm quality is poor, the success rate of fertilization will decline. On the contrary, if the quality of female eggs is poor, it may affect the normal development of embryos. Therefore, before IVF, it is necessary to evaluate the germ cells of both sides. If the evaluation results show that there are major problems in the quality of sperm or eggs, it may not be suitable for IVF.
psychological factor
Test tube babies have higher requirements on the psychological endurance of couples. The treatment process is long and complex, which may require multiple attempts and be accompanied by emotional ups and downs. For those couples who cannot bear the relevant psychological pressure, IVF may increase the psychological burden, and even lead to emotional disorders. Therefore, mental health is also one of the factors that need to be considered before IVF.
To sum up, IVF is not suitable for all couples. Age, physical health, germ cell quality and psychological factors are all important factors affecting the indications of IVF. Before deciding to carry out IVF, couples should fully communicate and evaluate with professional doctors to ensure safety and improve the success rate.
