What progress has been made in the successful technology of IVF?
As a medical means, IVF technology aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of childbirth. In recent years, with the continuous development of science and technology, IVF technology has also made significant progress. This article will describe the technological progress of IVF success from four aspects: optimizing embryos, improving in vitro fertilization technology, advanced embryo implantation technology and auxiliary technology to enhance the success rate.
1. Preferred embryo
In IVF technology, embryo selection plays a crucial role. Embryos created by traditional in vitro fertilization often have the risk of abnormal development and chromosome abnormalities, which reduces the probability of success of IVF. However, in recent years, the application of PGS (embryonic chromosome screening) and PGD (single gene genetic disease screening) combined with gene detection technology has gradually become a trend. PGS and PGD technology can help doctors screen healthy embryos, greatly improving the success rate of IVF.
In addition, selective embryo freezing technology also plays a positive role in selecting embryos. By cryopreservation of high-quality embryos, the mother can have enough time to recover, reduce the impact of hormone therapy on the mother, and improve the good conditions of the pregnancy environment, thus increasing the success rate of IVF.
2. Improve in vitro fertilization technology
In vitro fertilization has always been one of the core steps of IVF technology. In recent years, the technology has been continuously improved and optimized. On the one hand, the means of sperm treatment and sperm quality assessment in IVF technology have made scientific and technological progress, including magnetic separation and gravity separation, which have improved sperm quality, fertilization rate and embryo development quality. On the other hand, the embryo culture medium and culture conditions in IVF technology have also been improved, making the survival and development of embryos better guaranteed.
In addition, the application of in vitro fertilization technology combined with ICSI (single sperm injection technology) has also brought great help to the success of IVF. ICSI technology can directly inject a single sperm into the egg cell to overcome the low quality fertilization problem caused by sperm vitality or quantity problems.
3. Advanced embryo implantation technology
Embryo implantation technology is one of the decisive steps for the success of IVF. In recent years, after continuous research and improvement, embryo implantation technology has also made important progress. First of all, through the use of assisted incubation technology, including the application of phase automatic chimeric culture and the development of film technology, we can better monitor the development of embryos, select the best time for implantation, and improve the success rate of embryo implantation.
Secondly, the selective embryo freezing technology in the process of embryo implantation has also been further studied. Through freezing technology, embryos can be implanted at the most appropriate time without interference from other factors, which increases the probability of success of IVF.
4. Auxiliary technology to enhance success rate
In order to enhance the success rate of IVF, many assistive technologies have been widely used. Endometrial implantation adjuvant therapy is a key technology. It can adjust the state of maternal endometrium through hormone therapy, improve the environment for embryo implantation, and increase the implantation rate. In addition, adjuvant immunotherapy, progesterone adjuvant therapy and ovulation induction technology also further enhance the success rate of IVF.
summary
Take optimizing embryos, improving in vitro fertilization technology, advanced embryo implantation technology and auxiliary technology to enhance success rate as examples, the successful technology of IVF has made significant progress. The application of these technologies not only improves the probability of success of IVF, but also brings new hope and happiness to couples who cannot conceive naturally.
