Applicable population of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which has helped countless couples realize their dream of becoming parents. IVF is applicable to a wide range of people. The following will elaborate on economic conditions, reproductive health issues, age and medical advice.
1. Economic conditions
IVF technology involves a series of costs for diagnosis, treatment and infant contact, so economic conditions are a factor worth considering. The cost of IVF includes medical examination, drug treatment, surgical operation and infant contact, etc. The cost may vary depending on the hospital and other factors. Therefore, the people who are suitable for IVF are usually the couples with better economic conditions.
For example, Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China is a well-known hospital that provides IVF services, and its cost is about 100000 yuan to 300000 yuan. For some couples with limited economic conditions, this may be a relatively high cost.
In addition, other expenses related to IVF need to be considered, such as travel expenses, accommodation expenses, etc. Therefore, although IVF may be a good choice for couples with limited economic conditions to realize their dreams, it is also one of the factors to be considered.
2. Reproductive health issues
Test tube baby technology is a way to help couples solve fertility problems. The population suitable for IVF generally includes the following situations:
Infertile couples: IVF technology is an effective way to solve the problem of infertility. For example, women have problems such as fallopian tube obstruction, poor egg quality, ovarian dysfunction, and men have sperm quality problems.
Carriers of genetic diseases: Some couples may carry genetic diseases. In order to avoid passing on the disease to the next generation, they choose test tube babies and carry out embryonic genetic testing to screen out embryos without genetic diseases.
The above are typical reproductive health problems applicable to IVF. However, the specific applicable population should be determined according to the doctor's recommendations and diagnosis results.
3. Age limit
The age limit of IVF is relatively loose. Generally speaking, IVF is available for women under 45 years old and men under 65 years old. When a woman is over 45 years old, her ovarian function will gradually decline, while when a man is over 65 years old, his sperm quality may have problems.
However, with the progress of medicine and the improvement of technology, some hospitals have relaxed the age limit. For example, the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China allows women to carry out IVF under the age of 50 and men to carry out IVF under the age of 70.
4. Medical advice
Test tube baby is a complex medical technology, and not every couple is suitable for this process. Therefore, medical advice is very important. Regular hospitals will make a comprehensive assessment based on the couple's physical condition, reproductive health problems and other factors, and give corresponding suggestions.
Doctors will judge whether IVF is suitable for couples according to their physical examination results, reproductive system conditions and other factors. Sometimes, doctors may suggest couples to take other treatments, such as medication or surgery, instead of immediately choosing IVF.
Summary
The applicable population of IVF includes couples with rich economic conditions, couples with reproductive health problems, couples within a certain age range, and couples with medical advice. The applicable population should decide whether to carry out IVF according to the specific situation, and medical advice is a very important decision-making basis.
