Key aspects of IVF success rate
In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF), the fertilized egg is transferred to the female uterus to develop into an embryo. This technology has developed rapidly in the past decades, and has achieved many successes. However, the success rate of IVF is still affected by many factors. The key to success rate of IVF will be elaborated from four aspects as follows.
Hospital technology and equipment
The level of technology and equipment in hospitals is one of the important factors that affect the success rate of IVF. A first-class hospital will have high-tech laboratories and advanced equipment, which can provide the best quality environment for embryo culture and monitoring. This helps to ensure the quality of eggs and sperm, and improve the implantation rate of fertilized eggs and the success rate of embryonic development.
In addition, the technical level of hospital professionals is also the key factor to determine the success rate. The IVF process requires a team of experienced doctors, biologists and nurses to operate and monitor. Their professional knowledge and technical ability are crucial for judging the quality of fertilized eggs, the timing of transfer and the regulation of embryo culture conditions.
For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, as a famous IVF hospital in China, has internationally advanced laboratories and first-class professional teams, and its success rate has always been in the leading position in China.
Patient's age and personal health
The patient's age and personal health status have a significant impact on the success rate of IVF. Age is the most important factor, and female fertility will gradually decline as the age increases. Research shows that the success rate of IVF for women before 35 years old is higher than that after 35 years old. Therefore, early IVF can improve the success rate.
In addition to age, the patient's personal health is also very important. For women, normal endometrial thickness and hormone level, as well as good ovarian function are the key to success rate. For men, good sperm quality and quantity are also necessary.
Therefore, patients need to receive comprehensive physical examination and assessment before IVF to ensure that their health is suitable for IVF.
Embryo quality
Embryo quality is another key factor in the success rate of IVF. The quality of embryos is affected by the quality of fertilized eggs, the conditions of embryo culture and the time of transfer. The quality of fertilized eggs depends on the quality of eggs and sperm, and the conditions of embryo culture include the selection of culture medium and the control of culture environment.
In the past few years, the development of micro implantation technology (PGS/PGT-A) has provided a new means for selecting high-quality embryos. Through genome analysis of embryos, embryos with chromosome abnormalities can be screened, which can improve the implantation rate and success rate of embryo development.
Psychological and lifestyle influences
The IVF process is a long-term and complex treatment process, which may bring some psychological pressure to patients. Psychological status has certain influence on the success rate of IVF. Some research results found that emotional stress and anxiety may affect the hormone level and immune system function of patients, thus reducing the success rate.
Therefore, patients need to learn to deal with pressure and anxiety effectively and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. Exercising, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, improving sleep quality, seeking psychological support and other methods have positive effects on the success rate of IVF.
Summary
The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including the level of technology and equipment in the hospital, the age and health status of patients, the quality of embryos, and psychological and lifestyle factors. The success rate of IVF can be improved by selecting high-quality hospitals and professional teams to carry out IVF in a timely manner and maintain good physical and mental conditions.
