What are the chances of IVF success?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. The fertilized egg is cultivated to a certain stage of development through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and then implanted into the mother, helping couples who are difficult to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, the chance of IVF success is not 100%, which is affected by many factors. This article will discuss the chances of success of IVF from different perspectives.
Patient's age
The patient's age is an important factor influencing the success of IVF. With the growth of women's age, the quality and quantity of eggs will decline, and the uterine environment will also change. According to statistics, the success rate of IVF for women under 35 years old is about 40%, while the success rate for women over 35 years old will decline significantly. For example, the data from the People's Hospital of a city shows that the success rate of IVF reached 46.5% among the patients under 35 years old received by the hospital in 2019, while the success rate of IVF over 35 years old was only 29%.
In addition, the age of men will also have an impact on the success of IVF. The quality and quantity of male sperm will decline with age. Therefore, the age matching of the couple is also one of the important factors to improve the chances of success of IVF.
Patient health
The patient's physical health is also one of the factors that affect the success of IVF. Suffering from certain diseases or conditions that are not suitable for pregnancy, such as uterine malformations, endocrine abnormalities, etc., will reduce the possibility of success. Therefore, before IVF, patients need to undergo a comprehensive health examination to ensure that their physical condition is suitable for pregnancy.
In addition, the living habits of both couples will also have an impact on the success of IVF. For example, quitting smoking, drinking, eating healthy, and exercising moderately will help improve the chances of success.
Treatment operation technology
Treatment manipulation techniques are also affected by the success chances of IVF. In the process of IVF, doctors' technical level and experience play an important role. Choose a formal professional hospital for IVF operation, and the doctor's experience and technology will be more mature and stable.
A famous reproductive hospital in China has carried out a study on the success rate of babies with test tubes. This study shows that the survival rate of embryos implanted by experienced doctors in vitro culture environment is higher, and the success rate of successfully embedding into the uterine wall is also higher. Therefore, choosing a hospital with rich experience in IVF, combined with doctors' educational background and practical experience, can greatly improve the chances of IVF success.
Psychological condition
The psychological status of couples also has an important impact on the chances of IVF success. In the process of IVF, many times of treatment and waiting are needed, and psychological pressure is inevitable. Anxiety, tension, depression and other emotions will have a negative impact on the body, thus affecting the chances of success.
Therefore, maintaining a good psychological condition is crucial to the success of IVF. Talking, seeking psychological counseling and support, and relaxing are all effective ways to maintain good mental health.
Summary
To sum up, the chances of success of IVF will be affected by the patient's age, health status, treatment techniques, psychological status and other factors. Although the success rate is not 100%, choosing a suitable age for pregnancy, maintaining good physical health, selecting professional doctors and hospitals, and maintaining good psychological conditions can greatly improve the chances of success of IVF. When choosing IVF, couples should consider their personal conditions comprehensively, consult professional doctors, and work with them to develop treatment plans to increase the chances of success.
