Advantages of three generations of IVF
The third generation IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Compared with traditional IVF technology, three generation IVF has many advantages.
First of all, three generations of IVF can help couples solve their fertility problems. For those infertile couples with unknown factors, third-generation IVF can provide an effective treatment option. Through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, doctors can eliminate the fertility problems of both couples and increase the probability of successful pregnancy.
Secondly, the third generation of IVF can screen patients with genetic diseases and reduce the birth of children with chromosomal abnormalities. Through embryo gene detection, embryos with chromosome abnormalities can be screened and normal embryos can be selected for implantation, thus reducing the risk of pregnant women with chromosome abnormalities and improving the success rate of embryo implantation.
Third, the third-generation IVF technology helps to delay the childbearing age of women. Women's fertility will decline with age, but through three generations of IVF, women can choose to freeze eggs at a suitable time, delay the reproductive age, improve embryo quality and pregnancy success rate.
Risks of three generations of IVF
Although three generations of IVF have many advantages, there are also some risks.
First, in vitro fertilization may lead to multiple pregnancies. In order to improve the success rate of pregnancy, doctors often implant multiple embryos in a cycle, but this also increases the risk of multiple pregnancies and the incidence of maternal and infant complications.
Secondly, embryo gene detection is not 100% accurate. Embryonic gene detection can reduce the risk of birth of chromosomal abnormalities, but its accuracy is not high enough, and there are still some errors. In addition, for some rare genetic diseases, the current gene detection technology may not cover all mutations, and there are still some risks.
Third, the third generation of IVF technology and its related treatment process have caused some pressure on the couple's physical and mental health. For women, multiple oocyte retrieval operations and related treatments may affect ovarian function and increase the risk of premature menopause. For couples, a long treatment process may lead to increased psychological pressure, emotional fluctuations and other problems.
Application of three generations of IVF in real hospitals
Three generation IVF technology has been applied in many famous hospitals in China, and has achieved good results.
For example, in Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, third-generation IVF technology has become one of the important diagnostic and therapeutic projects of the hospital's reproductive center. Through this technology, many infertile couples have successfully achieved a second child birth, and have achieved family perfection and happiness.
In Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the third-generation IVF technology is also widely used in the treatment of infertile couples. The reproductive center of the hospital has advanced equipment and professional medical team to provide comprehensive treatment services for patients. Many couples have realized their dreams of procreation through this technology.
The above two hospitals are just examples of the application of third-generation IVF technology. In fact, many domestic hospitals provide this service, providing hope and opportunities for patients.
Summary
The advantages of the third-generation IVF technology include helping to solve fertility problems, screening patients with genetic diseases, and delaying women's reproductive age. However, the technology also has risks of multiple pregnancy, low accuracy of gene detection and possible stress on body and mind. In real hospitals, three generation IVF technology has been applied and achieved good results, bringing new hope to infertile couples.
