Is the success rate of IVF related to illness?
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has helped many infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, many people are worried about whether there is a correlation between the success rate of IVF and whether children are susceptible to diseases. In this article, we will elaborate on the relationship between IVF success rate and illness from four aspects.
First aspect: genetic disease screening
In the process of IVF, genetic disease screening is usually carried out to exclude the risk of genetic disease. This is achieved by genetic testing of couples and embryos. If one or both of the couples carry pathogenic genes, doctors can choose not to use these embryos, thus improving the healthy success rate of IVF. Therefore, by screening embryos with genetic bombs, the risk of IVF suffering from genetic diseases will be greatly reduced.
In addition, with the development of science and technology, gene editing technology is also expected to be applied in the process of IVF. This technology will be able to accurately repair or replace genetic defects in embryos, further reducing the risk of disease.
The second aspect: IVF and congenital defects
In addition to the risk of genetic diseases, whether there is a relationship between IVF and congenital defects is also of great concern. Research shows that the risk of IVF babies suffering from congenital defects at birth is slightly higher than that of naturally conceived babies. This is mainly due to factors such as IVF technology itself and maternal age.
In vitro culture, embryo transfer and other aspects of IVF technology may be interfered by some environmental factors, thus increasing the risk of congenital defects. In addition, the age of the mother is also an important factor that affects IVF to suffer from congenital defects. As women grow older, the quality of their eggs will decline, increasing the risk of conceiving babies with congenital defects. Therefore, in the process of IVF, selecting healthy embryos and paying attention to maternal age and other factors will help reduce the risk of congenital defects.
Third aspect: medical technology and hospital level
The success rate of IVF is closely related to the selected hospital and medical technology level. Experienced doctors and high-end equipment can provide better assisted reproductive technology services, thus improving the success rate of IVF and reducing the risk of disease.
For example, some medical institutions may have advanced technology and equipment in embryo culture, embryo transfer and other aspects, and can provide better IVF services. In addition, doctors' experience and technical level are also one of the factors that affect the success rate and risk. Therefore, factors such as professional background and successful cases should be considered when selecting hospitals and doctors to ensure the success and safety of IVF.
Fourth aspect: lifestyle and preparation before pregnancy
The success rate of IVF is also related to the couple's lifestyle and preparation before pregnancy. Good living habits and adequate nutrition play an important role in pregnancy and embryonic development. Quitting smoking, limiting drinking and caffeine intake, and reducing stress can all improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, receiving pre pregnancy diagnosis and treatment is also an important link to prevent disease risks. Some couples with chronic diseases should receive comprehensive physical examination and disease management before IVF to ensure the best physical condition.
summary
Although the success rate of IVF may be related to the disease, the comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as genetic disease screening, healthy embryo selection, medical technology level and good lifestyle can reduce the risk of disease and improve the success rate of IVF. Therefore, for infertile couples, IVF technology is still a feasible and effective choice.
