What factors affect the survival rate of IVF
IVF refers to in vitro fertilization and embryo cultivation through assisted reproductive technology, and then the embryo is implanted into the mother's uterus, so that women can become pregnant and have children. IVF technology has solved the problem of fertility for infertile couples, but its success rate is affected by many factors.
1. Age
Female age is one of the most important factors affecting the survival rate of IVF. The quality of female eggs decreases with the increase of age, especially for women over 35 years old, the quantity and quality of eggs tend to decrease. With the growth of age, the success rate of IVF will gradually decrease. One study found that the success rate of IVF was significantly reduced when women were over 35 years old.
In addition, male fertility will also decrease with age, especially in terms of sperm quality. Therefore, the age of both spouses is an important factor affecting the survival rate of IVF.
2. Health
The survival rate of IVF is also affected by the health status of both spouses. For women, there are many diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, abnormal uterine morphology, which will reduce the success rate of IVF. Similarly, men with semen abnormalities and testicular problems will also have a negative impact on the survival rate of IVF.
Therefore, before preparing for IVF, both the husband and wife need to receive a comprehensive health examination to ensure good health, so as to improve the success rate of IVF.
3. Implantation environment
The implantation environment of IVF embryos will also affect the success rate. The thickness of endometrium, nutrition supply and other factors will affect the implantation of embryos. Problems such as thin endometrium and poor blood circulation will reduce the survival rate of IVF.
In order to improve the implantation environment, doctors will choose appropriate interventions according to individual conditions, such as hormone therapy to regulate the endometrium, increase blood supply, and improve the success rate of IVF.
4. Medical equipment and technology
Medical equipment and technology are also important factors affecting the survival rate of IVF. The success of IVF is closely related to the equipment and technical level of hospitals and clinics. Advanced laboratory equipment, sophisticated embryo culture technology and professional medical team can improve the success rate of IVF.
In some high-level medical institutions, such as the Asian Reproductive Center and the People's Hospital of Peking Union Medical College, they are committed to continuously improving IVF technology, researching and applying advanced embryo culture technology and hormone intervention to improve the survival rate of IVF.
How to improve the success rate
In order to improve the success rate of IVF, some measures can be taken:
First of all, the couple can maintain good living habits, eat a balanced diet, exercise moderately, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, and avoid exposure to harmful substances to improve health indicators.
Secondly, couples can actively participate in IVF pretreatment diagnosis and treatment, including adjusting ovarian function, optimizing embryo culture technology, and using hormone intervention to improve the quality of eggs and embryos.
In addition, it is also very important to choose a strong medical institution. When selecting IVF hospitals, we should pay attention to their equipment and technical level, and understand their success rate and doctors' experience and qualifications.
Finally, couples should maintain a positive attitude, reasonably arrange treatment plans, and accept the guidance and suggestions of professional doctors to improve the success rate of IVF.
The survival rate of IVF can be improved through the improvement of age, health status, implantation environment, medical equipment and technology. Choose a suitable medical institution and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment. I believe that more infertile couples will realize their reproductive dreams in the future.
