What is IVF treatment?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who are difficult or unable to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams by artificially fertilizing eggs and sperm in the laboratory and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the female uterus.
IVF treatment can help solve a variety of infertility problems. Here are some diseases suitable for IVF treatment from different perspectives.
Feminine factors
1. Ovarian function decline:
Ovarian function decline refers to the premature aging of women's ovaries, resulting in the reduction of the number and quality of eggs. This may be one of the main reasons for infertility. IVF treatment can select the best quality eggs for transplantation through artificial fertilization to improve the pregnancy success rate.
2. Fallopian tube problem:
The fallopian tube is the place where eggs and sperm meet and fertilize. If there is a problem in the fallopian tube that hinders the process of fertilization, IVF can bypass the fallopian tube and directly transplant the fertilized eggs into the uterus to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
3. Endometriosis:
Endometriosis refers to the growth of endometrium outside the uterus, often accompanied by irregular menstruation, abdominal pain and other symptoms. In this case, IVF treatment can help pregnancy and reduce the impact of endometriosis on embryo implantation.
Male factors
1. Abnormal semen:
Male semen abnormalities may include too few sperm, poor sperm motility or abnormal sperm in semen. IVF treatment can improve the success rate of pregnancy by selecting the best sperm for IVF.
2. Low sperm vitality:
Low sperm motility refers to the low motility of sperm, which is not enough to penetrate the egg cell wall to complete the fertilization process. IVF treatment can improve the chance of successful pregnancy through artificial injection of eggs.
3. Other factors:
Other diseases that cause male infertility, such as testicular injury and testicular dysfunction, are also suitable for IVF treatment. In this case, IVF treatment can improve the chance of pregnancy through artificial fertilization.
Genetic disease
1. Single gene genetic disease:
Some diseases are caused by single gene mutation, such as congenital hereditary scoliosis, cystic fibrosis, etc. For those couples with genetic disease genes, IVF can select healthy embryos for transplantation through genetic screening, embryo gene testing and other means to reduce the probability of transmission of genetic diseases.
2. Chromosome abnormalities:
Chromosome abnormalities such as Down's syndrome and Edwards' disease can also be screened and prevented through IVF treatment. IVF can screen chromosomes during fertilization, select embryos with normal chromosomes, and improve the probability of giving birth to healthy babies.
3. Other genetic factors:
In addition to single gene diseases and chromosome abnormalities, there are also some genetic related diseases such as multiple muscular atrophy, spinal muscular dystrophy, etc. IVF treatment can carry out embryo gene testing and screening, reduce the transfer of embryos at risk of genetic diseases, and improve the probability of having healthy offspring.
Other factors
1. Repeated artificial insemination or IVF treatment failure:
For those couples who have tried artificial insemination or IVF treatment for many times but failed, it may be necessary to further evaluate the causes of infertility and develop personalized treatment plans. IVF treatment can provide a more targeted and successful method.
2. Age factor:
The fertility of women will gradually decline with the growth of age, especially after the age of 35. Therefore, for older women, IVF treatment can provide better opportunities to realize their reproductive dreams.
3. Other factors:
In addition to the above factors, there are also some infertility problems caused by other reasons, such as immune infertility, male sperm antibody, etc. In view of these special circumstances, IVF treatment can provide personalized treatment programs to help couples achieve their reproductive aspirations.
Summary
IVF treatment is applicable to a variety of infertility causes, including female ovarian function decline, fallopian tube problems, endometriosis and other factors; Male semen abnormalities, low sperm motility and genetic diseases such as single gene genetic diseases and chromosome abnormalities; And the treatment or age factors that have failed many times. Under the close monitoring of appropriate medical institutions, IVF treatment can help couples realize their reproductive dreams.
