Success rate of IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a reproductive medicine technology that has attracted much attention and been widely used in recent years. The fertilized eggs are cultivated to a certain stage of development through IVF, and then healthy embryos are transferred to the female uterus to achieve the goal of fertility. However, the success rate of IVF is not high, with an average of 30% to 40%. The following will elaborate on how to improve the success rate of IVF from four aspects: optimizing high-quality embryos, optimizing hormone therapy, reasonably adjusting embryo transfer time and improving living habits.
1. Select high-quality embryos
In the process of IVF treatment, the selection of embryos is very important, and the selection of high-quality embryos can improve the success rate of IVF. At present, there are some technologies that can help doctors to evaluate embryo quality, such as embryo morphology evaluation, gene detection, etc. By carefully observing the morphology and cell development of the embryo, better embryos can be selected for transplantation to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
In addition, some hospitals have also carried out embryo gene testing to screen abnormal embryos, so as to reduce the birth rate of children with abortion and chromosomal abnormalities. This technology is very important to avoid the transmission of genetic diseases and improve the success rate of IVF.
2. Optimize hormone therapy
Hormone therapy is an important part of IVF. Hormones can promote ovarian development, control follicular development and ovulation process. In order to optimize hormone therapy, individual adjustments can be made according to the specific conditions of patients. First, according to women's age, ovarian reserve and cycle characteristics, hormone programs are tailored for each patient. Secondly, sufficient hormone dosage should be guaranteed to promote follicular development and improve the quality. Finally, the hormone level and follicular growth should be monitored regularly, and the hormone program should be adjusted in time.
In addition, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) should pay special attention to optimizing hormone therapy when receiving IVF treatment. Avoid excessive hormone use as far as possible to prevent ovarian hyperreaction, leading to excessive follicle development and high androgen levels.
3. Reasonably adjust the time of embryo transfer
The choice of embryo transfer time has a direct impact on the success rate of IVF. In the process of IVF treatment, doctors will choose the right time for embryo transfer according to the maturity and quality of eggs. Generally speaking, embryo transfer can be carried out three to five days after fertilization.
Research shows that the success rate of embryo transfer on the fifth day is higher than that on the third day. This is because the embryo on the fifth day has developed to the blastocyst stage, which requires a higher internal environment of the uterus, so only high-quality embryos can develop to this stage, thus improving the pregnancy success rate.
4. Improve living habits
Healthy living habits also have an important impact on the success rate of IVF. First of all, patients should maintain good eating habits, eat balanced and nutritious food, and increase the body's nutrient reserves. Secondly, it is necessary to maintain proper exercise, improve physical fitness and stable emotional state. In addition, bad habits such as smoking cessation and alcohol abstinence also need to be resolutely avoided.
In general, the success rate of IVF can be improved by optimizing high-quality embryos, optimizing hormone therapy, reasonably adjusting the time of embryo transfer and improving living habits. With the continuous progress of medical technology and the change of living habits, I believe that the success rate of IVF will continue to increase, bringing hope and joy to more infertile couples.
