How to improve the success rate of IVF?
Test tube baby technology (assisted reproductive technology) is a method to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations. However, different couples face different fertility problems, and their success rates will be different. In order to improve the success rate of IVF, the medical community has carried out a lot of research and practice, exploring various methods and technologies. The following will elaborate on how to improve the success rate of IVF from four aspects: optimizing IVF environment, selecting suitable embryos, improving embryo implantation technology and improving pre pregnancy preparation.
Optimize in vitro fertilization environment
The success rate of IVF depends largely on the quality of IVF environment. The hospital continuously optimizes the formula and culture conditions of IVF medium to provide a more suitable environment for fertilized eggs, thus increasing the probability of embryo development. At the same time, the hospital will precisely control the culture environment to maintain a stable temperature, humidity and pH value, so as to maximize the simulation of the physiological environment in the uterus.
In addition, by introducing auxiliary technologies, such as the EmbryoScope system, the development of fertilized eggs can be observed in real time, providing doctors with a more accurate basis for evaluation, and reducing the number of embryo transfers, thus improving the success rate of IVF.
Select the right embryo
The success rate of IVF is also affected by embryo quality. The possibility of successful pregnancy can be increased through accurate evaluation and screening of embryos.
Hospitals usually use a variety of methods for embryo screening, such as morphological evaluation, gene detection and metabolic detection. In morphological evaluation, doctors will observe the number of cells, cell size and cell arrangement of embryos, and select embryos with more normal morphology for transplantation. Gene testing and metabolic testing can further evaluate the genetic status and metabolic capacity of embryos, and select better embryos.
In addition, the hospital will also adopt the single embryo transfer strategy for certain specific situations, such as elderly mothers and patients who fail repeatedly. This can avoid the risk of multiple pregnancy and improve the success rate of IVF.
Improve embryo implantation technology
Embryo implantation is a very critical step in the process of IVF. The hospital continues to improve embryo implantation technology and reduce the possibility of injury and failure by improving operation skills and precise navigation.
Before embryo implantation, doctors will use ultrasound guidance to confirm the shape and size of the uterine cavity, to ensure that the embryo can be accurately implanted into the appropriate location. During implantation, doctors will use special catheters and micro manipulation instruments to ensure the safe placement of embryos.
In addition, some hospitals have begun to try to develop new technologies to assist embryo implantation, such as electromagnetic navigation and three-dimensional imaging technology. These technologies can provide more accurate embryo positioning and implantation navigation, and further improve the success rate of IVF.
Improve pre pregnancy preparation
Preparation before pregnancy also plays an important role in the success rate of IVF. The hospital will require the couple to have a comprehensive physical examination, including an assessment of their reproductive system and general health. According to the examination results, the doctor can formulate a personalized pre pregnancy preparation plan for each couple.
In the pre pregnancy preparation, the doctor will carry out a series of lifestyle interventions for the couple, such as smoking cessation, limiting drinking and improving eating habits. These measures can improve the reproductive environment of couples and increase the probability of successful pregnancy.
In addition, if couples have potential fertility problems, the hospital can also recommend them to take appropriate treatment, such as regulating ovarian function, dealing with fallopian tube problems or improving semen quality. These treatments can improve the fertility of couples and increase the success rate of IVF.
Summary
The success rate of IVF has been significantly improved through efforts in optimizing the IVF environment, selecting suitable embryos, improving embryo implantation technology and improving pregnancy preparation. The hospital continues to research and apply new technologies, and is committed to providing better birth choices for couples. However, it should be noted that the improvement of IVF success rate requires not only the efforts of hospitals, but also the cooperation and joint efforts of both spouses.
