Can IVF cases improve pregnancy rate?
IVF is a kind of modern medical assisted reproduction technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams by cultivating the fertilized eggs in vitro and transplanting them into the mother's body. However, many people have doubts about whether IVF can really improve the probability of pregnancy. This article will elaborate the influence of IVF cases on pregnancy probability from many aspects.
1. Optimize fertilization environment
IVF technology can provide an optimized fertilization environment, thus improving the probability of pregnancy. In the process of in vitro culture, doctors can control various factors of the fertilization environment, such as temperature, humidity, gas content, etc., to ensure that the growth environment of the fertilized egg is the most suitable. In addition, doctors can add nutrients and hormones to the culture medium to promote the development of embryos and increase the probability of successful transplantation.
Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the IVF technology they use uses the most advanced incubator and medium to provide the best growth conditions for the fertilized eggs. Statistics show that among couples receiving IVF treatment in the hospital, the probability of pregnancy is significantly higher than that of traditional natural pregnancy.
2. Screening healthy embryos
Test tube baby technology can also screen healthy embryos for transplantation through gene testing of embryos, thus improving the probability of pregnancy. Through PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) technology, doctors can detect whether an embryo carries certain genetic diseases or chromosome abnormalities to avoid the transmission of genetic diseases. At the same time, PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) technology can detect whether the chromosome number of embryos is normal, and exclude the transfer of embryos with abnormal chromosomes.
A study conducted by the Children's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University shows that after embryo screening with PGD, the probability of successful IVF transplantation is significantly increased. The study also pointed out that the pregnancy rate of transplanted healthy embryos was about 20% higher than that of those without PGD screening.
3. Provide personalized treatment plan
Another advantage of IVF cases is to provide personalized treatment plans and formulate targeted treatment strategies according to the specific conditions of the couple, so as to improve the probability of pregnancy. The doctor will decide what kind of assisted reproductive technology to use, and adjust the dosage of drugs and the time of transplantation according to the factors such as the woman's ovarian function, uterine condition and the man's sperm quality.
A study conducted by the General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region shows that personalized IVF treatment can significantly improve the pregnancy rate. In the study, different assisted reproductive technologies were used according to the different conditions of the husband and wife, and the drug dose was adjusted according to the follicle size and hormone level during the treatment process, which ultimately achieved a high success rate of IVF.
4. Psychological support and adjustment
The psychological factors in the process of IVF also have a certain impact on the probability of pregnancy. Stress and anxiety may lead to hormone imbalance in the body, which affects fertilization and embryonic development. Therefore, providing psychological support and regulation is also an important link to improve the pregnancy rate of IVF.
A study conducted by the Children's Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University shows that through professional psychological support and adjustment, the psychological status of couples has been improved, and the probability of IVF pregnancy has increased significantly. In this study, couples received psychological counseling and relaxation training and other interventions during IVF treatment, and finally achieved a high success rate.
Summary:
To sum up, IVF cases can improve the probability of pregnancy by optimizing the fertilization environment, screening healthy embryos, providing personalized treatment programs, and providing psychological support and regulation. However, it is worth noting that the success of IVF depends on the combined effect of multiple factors due to the different circumstances of each couple. Therefore, when conducting IVF treatment, couples should choose a regular hospital, fully communicate with doctors, and develop appropriate treatment plans to increase the success rate of IVF.
