Medical principle and technology of IVF

IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations. Its medical principles and technologies mainly include in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. After years of development and continuous improvement, IVF technology has made significant progress and breakthroughs.

In vitro fertilization (IVF)

In vitro fertilization is one of the core steps of IVF process. First, the ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple mature follicles through hormone therapy. Then, the doctor uses an injection needle to take out the egg and put it into a test tube. Next, sperm samples are extracted from semen provided by men and processed to obtain high-quality sperm. Subsequently, sperm and eggs are fertilized in vitro in a culture dish. The fertilized egg continues to develop in the culture dish and forms an embryo.

embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF technology. Embryos cultivated during in vitro fertilization will be evaluated in culture dishes to assess their quality and development. The best embryo will be selected and implanted into the female uterine cavity with a thin tube. After embryo implantation, patients who wish to conceive need to rest and continue drug treatment to help the embryo implantation and development in the uterus.

Progress and breakthrough

With the progress of science and technology and the deepening of medical research, IVF technology has made many breakthroughs and progress. First of all, the culture conditions during in vitro fertilization have been improved to promote better embryo development. The improvement of culture medium and auxiliary equipment in culture dish has effectively improved the survival rate and quality of embryos. Secondly, the application of gene detection technology makes it possible to screen embryos at risk of genetic diseases. Through gene testing of embryos, doctors can select healthy embryos for transplantation, thus reducing the risk of transmission of certain genetic diseases. In addition, the development of frozen embryo technology makes the time of embryo preservation and transfer more flexible. The proposed method enables female patients to carry out multiple embryo transfer operations and improves the success rate of IVF. Finally, the popularization of assisted reproductive technology and the improvement of medical equipment make IVF technology more safe and reliable. More hospitals and specialized institutions provide this technology to help more couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams.

summary

The medical principles and technologies of IVF mainly include in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Through years of development, this assisted reproductive technology has made significant progress and breakthroughs. The improvement of culture conditions during in vitro fertilization and the application of gene detection technology have improved the accuracy of embryo quality and genetic disease screening. The development of frozen embryo technology and the improvement of equipment make IVF more feasible and increase the success rate. With the continuous improvement and popularization of IVF technology, more and more couples can realize their reproductive aspirations.
