What are the contraindications of IVF?

IVF is a kind of baby that is conceived by in vitro fertilization technology, combining eggs and sperm in the laboratory, and then implanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's body. However, not everyone is suitable for IVF, and some contraindications may make this technology inapplicable or risky. The following will elaborate on the contraindications of IVF from four aspects: genetic diseases, mother's physical condition, age factors and sperm quality.

Contraindications to genetic diseases

First, couples with genetic diseases are not suitable for IVF. These genetic diseases may be caused by chromosome abnormalities and gene mutations. Although IVF technology can screen genes during fertilization, not all genetic diseases can be screened in this way. If couples have some rare and difficult to screen genetic diseases, IVF may increase the risk of having sick babies. Therefore, in the case of high risk of genetic diseases, it is recommended that couples abandon IVF technology to avoid possible risks. In addition, some gene variations may also become contraindications of IVF. For example, some gene mutations may reduce the ability of embryo implantation or cause congenital abnormalities. In these cases, IVF technology may not be able to solve the problem, and may even lead to further genetic risks. Therefore, before IVF, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive genetic testing on both spouses to ensure that there will be no more risks of genetic diseases.

Contraindication of mother's physical condition

The mother's physical condition is also an important factor in selecting IVF babies. First of all, for women with severe uterine malformations or without uterus, IVF technology is invalid, because there is no uterus to conceive babies. Secondly, if the mother has serious physical problems such as severe heart disease and kidney disease, it may bring great risks during childbirth. IVF babies need to go through the process of pregnancy and childbirth, and have high requirements on the mother's body. Therefore, if the mother's physical condition is serious, IVF may not be suitable to reduce the risk of mother and baby.

Age related contraindications

Age is an important factor affecting female fertility. With the growth of age, the quality and quantity of female eggs gradually decline, which may lead to a decrease in the success rate of IVF. Statistics show that among women aged 35 and above, the success rate of IVF is generally low. In addition, irregular menstruation and hormonal changes before and during menopause will also affect the effect of IVF. Therefore, in the case of older women, it is recommended to consult a doctor in advance and conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether it is suitable for IVF.

Contraindications to sperm quality

Finally, male sperm quality is also an important consideration in selecting IVF. If men have problems such as decreased sperm count, low sperm motility or abnormal morphology, IVF may increase the risk of success. These problems may affect the quality and implantation ability of the fertilized eggs, thus leading to the failure of IVF or early abortion. Therefore, it is very important to conduct a comprehensive assessment of male sperm quality before IVF to ensure that this technology is effective and safe. To sum up, IVF is not suitable for everyone. In order to select IVF, we need to consider the contraindications of genetic diseases, mother's physical condition, age factors and sperm quality. By evaluating these factors, couples can help determine whether IVF is suitable and reduce possible risks. Choosing the right time and conditions for IVF can help couples realize their reproductive dreams.
