What fertility problems can be solved by three generations of IVF?
The third generation IVF age refers to the application of the third generation IVF technology to older patients, which has achieved remarkable success in many countries. For some couples who have failed to conceive for many years, the age of three generations of IVF babies can solve their fertility problems. The following will elaborate on the fertility problems that can be solved by three generations of IVF in terms of women's age, genetic disease screening, egg quality and reducing pregnancy complications.
1. Age of women
In modern society, more and more women choose to marry late and have children late, but with the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline. The age of three generations of test tube babies can help older women achieve their reproductive aspirations. Through assisted reproductive technology, doctors can take out follicles from women's ovaries, select high-quality eggs for fertilization, and then transfer the fertilized embryos back to women's uterus. This effectively increases the probability of pregnancy for women, and allows older women to have their own children.
However, it should be noted that female fertility will decline with age. When choosing the age of three generations of IVF, women should conduct a comprehensive assessment under the guidance of doctors to ensure their own safety and the health of the fetus.
2. Genetic disease screening
Three generations of test tube babies can be screened for genetic diseases, which is a major advantage of this technology. For some couples with hereditary diseases, they may worry that their children will suffer from the same disease in the future. Through the age of three generations of test tube babies, doctors can screen the genetic genes of embryos at the early stage of embryonic development, select healthy embryos for transplantation, and avoid transferring embryos with genetic diseases to the uterus.
Taking Pittsburgh Medical Center in the United States as an example, they adopted a technology called PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis), which can carry out gene screening on embryos, detect genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities early, and provide healthy embryo selection for patients.
3. Egg quality
With the increase of age, the quality of female eggs will gradually decline, which will lead to a decrease in the probability of pregnancy and an increase in the risk of miscarriage. Through the age of three generations of IVF babies, younger and healthy donated eggs can be used to increase the chance of successful pregnancy.
For example, the Assisted Fertility Center of the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Cambridge in the UK provides egg donation services. They will strictly screen the donors to ensure the quality and health of the eggs, and then combine the donated eggs with the patient's sperm for artificial insemination.
4. Reduce pregnancy complications
Older women are more likely to have complications during pregnancy, such as hypertension, diabetes and premature delivery. Through the age of three generations of test tube babies, doctors can choose high-quality embryos for transplantation to reduce the incidence of complications during pregnancy.
Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China as an example, their third-generation IVF age program provides the most suitable assisted reproduction program for patients through comprehensive assessment of their physical conditions. In this way, we can not only minimize the occurrence of complications during pregnancy, but also improve the health index of pregnant women and fetuses.
summary
As a kind of assisted reproductive technology, the third generation IVF can solve some fertility problems. It can help older women realize their reproductive aspirations, screen for genetic diseases, use high-quality donated eggs to improve the probability of pregnancy, and reduce the incidence of complications during pregnancy. However, the age of the third generation of IVF also needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors, and the specific conditions and potential risks of patients should be comprehensively considered.
