What are the key factors of IVF success rate
Test tube baby technology is a medical technology that helps couples who are unable to conceive successfully to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the success rate of IVF is not fixed and is affected by many factors. The following discusses the key factors of IVF success rate from different perspectives.
1. Age
Female age is one of the most important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. The reproductive capacity of women will gradually decline with age. Generally speaking, it is more difficult for women to conceive after the age of 35. In fact, women over 35 years old have a relatively low probability of successfully implementing IVF because their ovarian function has begun to decline. In addition, women over 40 years old are more likely to have embryos with chromosomal abnormalities, increasing the risk of pregnancy.
However, the influence of male age on IVF success rate is relatively small. However, too old men may affect the quality and quantity of sperm, and thus affect the fertilization process. Therefore, if one of the couples is older, it may need more attempts to succeed.
2. Living habits and health conditions
Life habits and health conditions also have a greater impact on the success rate of IVF. First, bad habits such as smoking and drinking will have a negative impact on the quality of eggs and sperm, thus reducing the success rate of fertilization and embryo implantation. Therefore, couples should try to improve their living habits before IVF.
Secondly, many chronic diseases also affect the success rate of IVF. For example, diseases such as diabetes, thyroid problems and polycystic ovary syndrome may lead to unbalanced hormone levels, which in turn affect ovulation and embryo implantation. Therefore, couples should try to control these chronic diseases before IVF, and treat and monitor them under the guidance of doctors.
3. Hospital experience and technical level
Hospital experience and technical level are also important factors that affect the success rate of IVF. IVF technology requires accurate operation and professional diagnosis and treatment team. Only in hospitals with rich experience and advanced equipment can the success rate of surgery be guaranteed. When choosing a hospital, couples should consider such factors as the hospital's reputation, faculty, equipment, and past success rate.
For example, some well-known hospitals in China, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Tsinghua University Public Medical Research Center, have rich experience and advanced technology in the field of IVF. Choosing these hospitals can greatly improve the success rate of IVF.
4. Other factors
In addition to the above factors, the success rate of IVF is also affected by other factors. For example, the quality and quantity of eggs and sperm, the thickness and quality of endometrium, and the suitability of embryo implantation environment. These factors may affect the success rate of IVF, but they are different from person to person, so it is difficult to predict with certainty.
summary
The key factors of IVF success rate include women's age, living habits and health status, hospital experience and technical level, and other factors. Before deciding to accept IVF treatment, couples should fully understand these factors, and improve the success rate by improving living habits, controlling chronic diseases, selecting appropriate hospitals, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to clarify the limitations of IVF technology. For couples who cannot achieve their fertility goals through IVF technology, they should seek other suitable ways and methods to achieve their fertility aspirations as soon as possible.
