What are the conditions for IVF birth
IVF refers to the use of in vitro fertilization technology to combine eggs and sperm in the laboratory, and then transfer the fertilized eggs to the mother's womb. Through IVF technology, many couples have successfully realized their dream of procreation. However, the IVF process needs to meet some conditions. This article will elaborate on the conditions of IVF birth from four aspects: genetic conditions, medical indications, mental health and economic affordability.
Genetic condition
The success of IVF is directly related to the genetic quality of both sides. First of all, the husband and wife should have no obvious genetic disease or hereditary disease to ensure the health of the baby. Secondly, the gene matching between the two sides should be relatively stable, without carrying too many mutant genes or unstable genes. The genetic consultant will evaluate the genetic condition of both spouses by checking their family history and genetic testing to determine whether it is suitable for IVF.
In addition, age is also an important genetic condition. The fertility of women decreases with age, especially the success rate of pregnancy after the age of 35. Therefore, it is recommended that women carry out IVF before the age of 35.
In this case, the genetic condition of both husband and wife is one of the important factors for IVF.
Medical indications
IVF technology is generally used in the following situations:
First, infertility is one of the most common indications. Infertility caused by both male and female factors can be achieved by IVF technology. Moreover, IVF technology is the last choice for some couples who cannot succeed through other assisted reproductive technologies.
Secondly, female tubal abnormality or bilateral tubal obstruction is also a common indication. The IVF technology can bypass the fallopian tube to transfer the fertilized eggs into the uterus, whether due to abnormal development of the fallopian tube or infertility caused by fallopian tube obstruction.
In addition, male factor is also an important indication. If sperm quality or quantity is abnormal, IVF technology can be solved by sperm donation.
Medical indications are of great significance in deciding whether to carry out IVF.
mental health
IVF technology has certain requirements for the mental health of both spouses.
First, both husband and wife must face the genetic and non genetic factors of the baby calmly. IVF does not guarantee the birth of a completely healthy baby, so couples need to be prepared and accept the possible risks.
Secondly, both husband and wife need to have some patience and determination. The process of IVF is usually long and arduous, requiring multiple IVF cycles. Both husband and wife need to have enough patience and the ability to recover.
Therefore, the mental health status of both husband and wife should be fully considered before IVF.
Affordability
Test tube baby is an expensive medical technology, which requires both husband and wife to have certain economic capacity.
First of all, the medical costs of IVF are quite high, including diagnostic costs, IVF cycle costs, drug costs, etc. Both husband and wife need to have enough funds to cover these expenses.
Secondly, the uncertainty of IVF will also bring additional economic burden. Every IVF cycle may not be successful, and both husband and wife need to be prepared for many attempts.
Therefore, economic affordability is also one of the important conditions for IVF.
Summary
The birth conditions of IVF babies have requirements in genetic conditions, medical indications, mental health and economic affordability. The genetic conditions of both spouses, the judgment of medical indications, the maintenance of mental health and the preparation of economic affordability are important factors in deciding whether to carry out IVF. Therefore, before considering IVF, both husband and wife should comprehensively evaluate their own conditions, and fully communicate and consult with doctors to determine whether they have fertility conditions.
