Can IVF short protocol achieve individualized treatment?
With the continuous progress of medical technology, IVF has become the gospel of infertile couples. The success rate of IVF continues to improve, but the existing programs still have some limitations, and cannot achieve individualized treatment. This article will discuss the individualized treatment of IVF in terms of genetic screening, artificial assisted reproduction technology, embryo transfer and infant rearing.
Genetic screening
Genetic screening is an essential part of the short program of IVF. Through genetic gene testing of embryos, embryos carrying some serious genetic diseases can be screened out and eliminated, thus reducing the risk of disease. However, the existing genetic screening technology often can only detect some specific single gene genetic diseases, but can not cover all genetic diseases.
In addition, genetic screening still has certain risks and disputes. Human intervention in the genome of embryos may cause some unknown problems, and even more genetic diseases. Therefore, individual genetic screening still needs in-depth research and strengthened supervision.
Artificial assisted reproduction technology
Assisted reproductive technology is one of the core links of IVF short program. At present, the common assisted reproductive technologies include in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), etc. Although these technologies can indeed solve the problem of infertility, there is no individualized treatment for specific diseases.
Individualized assisted reproductive technology requires in-depth research on the specific conditions of patients, including reproductive system problems, immune system status, and genetic diseases. Only by carrying out individualized artificial assisted reproduction technology according to different individual conditions can better therapeutic effects be achieved.
embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the most critical step in the short term IVF program, which directly affects the success rate of pregnancy and embryo health. At present, single embryo transfer or multiple embryo transfer is often used according to the quality of embryos and the condition of patients. But this simple division cannot meet the needs of individualized treatment.
Individualized embryo transfer needs to develop a transfer program according to different causes and specific conditions of patients. For example, in some cases with genetic diseases, if we can screen out embryos carrying normal genes and carry out personalized embryo transfer, it will greatly improve the success rate of pregnancy and the probability of infant health.
Infant care
Individualized treatment of IVF also includes infant rearing methods. The individualized treatment of infants in the short program of IVF mainly involves health management, nutrition intake and early education.
Individualized infant rearing needs to take into account the genetic characteristics and disease risks of infants, and improve their immunity and intellectual development through scientific and reasonable diet arrangements and early education.
Summary
To sum up, although the current IVF short protocol has played an important role in infertility treatment, it still cannot fully meet the needs of individualized treatment. Individualized IVF short program requires in-depth research and innovation in genetic screening, artificial assisted reproduction technology, embryo transfer and infant rearing. Only through comprehensive evaluation of individual conditions of each patient and personalized treatment can we achieve individualized treatment of IVF and improve the treatment effect and infant health level.
