The success rate of IVF is related to female age
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples with fertility difficulties achieve their fertility aspirations. However, the success rate of IVF is not 100% guaranteed, and it is affected by many factors. One of them is the age of women.
The reproductive capacity of women will gradually decline with age. Dr. Wang Xiaoqing, a famous doctor in the Reproductive Department of Anzhen Hospital, pointed out that women's ovarian reserves will decrease with age, and the number and quality of follicles will also decrease. This means that when women are over 35 years old, they are more likely to experience ovarian dysfunction, reducing the chance of successful in vitro fertilization. In addition, aging also increases the risk of embryo shedding and chromosomal abnormalities.
Because of the influence of women's age, the success rate of IVF usually decreases with age. According to the research data from the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the success rate of IVF for women under 35 years old is 46.5%, but for women over 40 years old, the success rate is only 14.8%. Therefore, for older women, the success rate may be low.
However, young women are not entirely risk free. Even in the 25-30 age group with the strongest fertility, the success rate of IVF fluctuates between 40% and 50%. Therefore, every woman should fully understand the impact of her fertility potential and age on the success rate of IVF before considering IVF.
The success rate of IVF is affected by embryo quality
In addition to female age, the success rate of IVF is also affected by embryo quality. Embryo quality mainly depends on the following factors.
The first is the quality of the fertilized egg. Only when the quality of the fertilized egg is in the best state, can it be successfully embedded into the endometrium and develop into a healthy embryo. Therefore, in the process of IVF, the quality of fertilized eggs plays a decisive role in the success rate.
The second is the selection of implanted embryos. In the process of embryo culture, doctors will evaluate the quality of the embryo, such as the speed of cell division, the appearance of the embryo, etc. High quality embryos are selected for implantation, thus improving the success rate of IVF.
Finally, the quality of endometrium. The endometrium is the implantation site of the embryo, and its quality directly affects the implantation and development of the embryo. If the thickness and smoothness of the endometrium are insufficient, the embryo may not be embedded normally, leading to the failure of IVF.
The success rate of IVF is related to lifestyle
Lifestyle also affects the success rate of IVF. Here are some lifestyle factors that may affect the success rate.
The first is diet. A balanced diet is essential for the development of high-quality eggs and embryos. In the process of IVF, women should avoid high sugar and high-fat diet and take more food rich in vitamins and minerals.
The second is weight control. Obesity or being too thin may have a negative impact on the success rate of IVF. Research shows that women with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30 or less than 18.5 are more likely to have IVF failure.
In addition, we should reasonably control the intake of caffeine and alcohol, quit smoking and alcohol, and maintain moderate exercise. These lifestyle adjustments help to improve the success rate of IVF.
The success rate of IVF is affected by the experience of hospitals and doctors
The success rate of IVF is also affected by the experience and technical level of the hospital and doctors.
In China, some well-known reproductive hospitals, such as the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the Reproductive Center of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, have rich clinical experience in IVF and advanced technical equipment, with a high success rate.
In addition, doctors' experience and technical level are also important factors that determine the success rate of IVF. Experienced doctors can better understand the specific situation of each patient and develop personalized treatment plans. They can more accurately judge the quality of fertilized eggs and embryos, and accurately control the implantation timing.
In conclusion, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors. Female age, embryo quality, lifestyle and hospital and doctor experience may have a positive or negative impact on the success rate. Therefore, before IVF treatment, couples should make a comprehensive assessment based on their own conditions and select appropriate hospitals and doctors for treatment to improve the success rate of IVF.
