IVF growth: why do we need IVF?

IVF is a method of fertilizing and cultivating embryos in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology (ART), and then transferring the embryos to the mother's uterus. IVF has become the choice of more and more infertile couples, but some people are still confused about its effect and utility. This article will elaborate on IVF from the needs of infertile couples, medical progress, success rate and risks.

Medical progress promotes the demand of IVF

The emergence of IVF technology benefits from the progress of medical technology. With the change of living style, infertility problems such as late childbearing age and reproductive system problems are more and more common. IVF provides a hope for these couples to have their own children. In addition, IVF technology has also solved the transmission problem of some genetic diseases. Through accurate screening of embryos, healthy embryos can be selected to be implanted into the mother, reducing the risk of congenital diseases.

However, IVF is not a method that every couple must choose. Doctors will recommend appropriate treatment methods according to the reasons for infertility, age, physical condition and other comprehensive conditions. IVF is just one of the options.

Success rate of IVF

The success rate of IVF will be affected by many factors, including female age, disease, male sperm quality, etc. According to the data of Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, the authoritative fertility hospital in China, the success rate of IVF for women under 35 years old is relatively high, about 40% to 60%; The success rate of women over 35 years old will drop to about 20% to 40%.

The success of IVF not only refers to the birth of the baby, but also includes the duration of pregnancy, the health of the embryo and the development of the baby. For successful IVF infants, their growth and development are not very different from that of non IVF infants.

Risks and limitations of IVF

Although IVF provides opportunities for couples who cannot conceive naturally, it also has certain risks and limitations. First of all, IVF needs to carry out a series of assisted reproductive technology operations, such as egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo cultivation, etc., which will involve certain medical risks. Secondly, the success rate of IVF is not 100%, and it may take many attempts to succeed. In addition, the success rate of IVF for elderly women and women with serious diseases is relatively low.

In addition, the high cost of IVF technology is also a limiting factor, which may be a huge burden for some couples with limited economic conditions.

Summary

As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has solved the needs of some infertile couples. With the continuous progress of medical technology, the success rate of IVF has gradually increased, but there are still some risks and limitations. Therefore, when deciding whether to choose IVF, couples should know their personal situation in detail, consult doctors, consider various factors comprehensively and make a wise decision.
