Prerequisites for IVF
IVF is a method of assisted reproduction through in vitro fertilization, which is applicable to couples with certain fertility disorders. However, not all couples can succeed in IVF. The following will elaborate the necessary conditions for IVF from four aspects.
1. Physical condition
Couples who carry out IVF first need to have certain physical conditions. The woman should have a good uterus and ovulation function to ensure the successful implantation of fertilized eggs and embryos. At the same time, the woman also needs to keep healthy without obvious illness, such as uterine malformation, severe endometriosis, etc. The man needs to maintain normal testicular function and good sperm quality. The examination and assessment of the physical health of both spouses are usually carried out by professional reproductive doctors.
In terms of physical conditions, it needs to be clear that couples who conduct IVF should carry out a series of physical examinations and assessments in reproductive hospitals to determine whether they have the basic conditions for IVF. These physical examination and evaluation results will guide doctors to develop appropriate treatment plans.
2. Mental state
To carry out IVF, both husband and wife should have good mental state. As the treatment and waiting during IVF may last for a long time, both husband and wife need to have enough patience and firm belief. In the face of various possible uncertainties and pressures, both husband and wife need to maintain a positive attitude, support and understand each other. In addition, both husband and wife also need to fully understand the process and risks of IVF and be prepared psychologically.
Mental status is critical to the success of IVF. Couples can deal with possible anxiety, tension and mood fluctuations through communication and support with professional psychological consultants. The reproductive department of some large hospitals has set up psychological counseling services to provide professional psychological support for patients.
3. Economic conditions
Couples also need to have certain economic conditions for IVF. The cost of IVF treatment is high, including reproductive medical examination, drugs, surgery, laboratory testing and other costs. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the possible multiple attempts and follow-up care costs. The husband and wife also need to consider whether they need to ask for leave or reduce working hours to cooperate with the treatment, which may result in economic losses.
Therefore, in terms of economic conditions, couples first need to have a clear understanding and planning of the cost of IVF, and fully consider the economic pressure and burden. Both husband and wife also need to know about the relevant social insurance and medical insurance policies, and whether they meet the conditions to enjoy the relevant policies.
4. Age appropriate conditions
Couples carrying out IVF should meet the age requirements. The best childbearing age of the woman is between 20 and 30 years old, while the man generally has no age limit. With the increase of age, the ovarian function and uterine status of the woman will gradually deteriorate, and her fertility will decline. Therefore, the success rate can be improved if the woman carries out IVF treatment within the appropriate age range.
Age appropriate condition is one of the important restrictions for IVF. Both husband and wife should consult a fertility doctor in time to understand their fertility and age range. If it is beyond the age range, couples can consider other fertility methods or choose appropriate assisted reproductive technology.
summary
To carry out IVF, both husband and wife need to have physical conditions, good mental state, economic conditions and age appropriate conditions. Only on the basis of these prerequisites can couples start IVF treatment in appropriate hospitals. Therefore, before deciding to carry out IVF, both husband and wife should consider their own conditions comprehensively and make rational decisions under the guidance of professional doctors.
