Under what circumstances is IVF obstetrics applicable?
IVF obstetrics is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in many different situations of couples. The following will elaborate on the application of IVF obstetrics from four aspects: infertility, congenital genetic diseases, female age and male fertility.
sterility
IVF obstetrics is an effective way to solve the problem of infertility. Infertility refers to the condition that couples cannot conceive naturally for a long time. Some couples may be infertile due to female ovulation disorders, fallopian tube problems or endometrial abnormalities. In IVF obstetrics, sperm and eggs are combined in the laboratory through artificial pregnancy, and then embryos are transferred to the female uterus for pregnancy, so as to solve the problem of infertile couples.
For couples with male infertility or unable to conceive naturally, IVF obstetrics is also a feasible option. If men have problems such as insufficient sperm quantity, poor sperm quality or genetic diseases, IVF obstetrics can improve the success rate of pregnancy by selecting the most suitable sperm for artificial pregnancy.
Congenital genetic disease
IVF obstetrics is also very suitable for couples with genetic disease genes. Some couples may carry the gene of some hereditary disease, and if they are naturally pregnant, they may pass this disease on to the next generation. IVF obstetrics can conduct gene detection during embryo culture, select healthy embryos for implantation, and thus reduce the risk of transmission of genetic diseases.
In addition, if a couple already has one or more children with serious genetic diseases, they may want to screen embryos through IVF obstetrics and select embryos that do not carry disease genes for implantation to reduce the risk of disease in the next generation.
Female age
The age of women is also an important applicable factor in IVF obstetrics. Women's fertility will decline with age. Generally speaking, women have the strongest fertility between 25 and 35 years old, but with the growth of age, the fertility will gradually weaken. For older women, IVF obstetrics can provide an opportunity to solve the problem of infertility.
In addition, for those women who delay childbearing due to work or other reasons, IVF obstetrics is also an option to save existing eggs for future use. By freezing eggs, women can freeze and retain their eggs before the best time to give birth, so as to perform IVF surgery when needed.
Male fertility
Finally, IVF obstetrics can be applied to male fertility. Some men may have insufficient sperm quantity, poor sperm quality or other fertility disorders. With IVF obstetric technology, the best sperm can be selected for pregnancy, thus improving the success rate of pregnancy.
In a word, IVF obstetrics is applicable to infertility, congenital genetic diseases, female age and male fertility. This assisted reproductive technology provides a hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally to solve the problem of infertility. By selecting healthy embryos and the best sperm, we can reduce the risk of transmission of genetic diseases and improve the success rate of pregnancy.
