Is IVF safe and reliable?
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. However, because it involves human reproduction, many people have doubts about the safety and reliability of IVF. This article will discuss the safety and reliability of IVF in detail from four aspects: hospital professional level, technical progress, medical risk and success rate.
1、 Hospital professional level
First, the safety and reliability of IVF is closely related to the professional level of the hospital. At present, there are many professional reproductive hospitals in China, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the Reproductive Medicine Center of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. These hospitals have first-class technical equipment and professional medical teams, and can provide high-quality IVF services. In addition, these hospitals usually have rich clinical experience and successful cases to provide safe and reliable reproductive services for patients.
Secondly, the professional level of the hospital is also reflected in the continuous innovation of IVF technology. With the development of science and technology, the IVF technology has been continuously upgraded. There are more advanced technologies such as single sperm microinjection, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, etc. Some domestic reproductive hospitals have made breakthroughs in these technologies, improving the success rate and safety of IVF, and bringing more hope to couples who cannot conceive naturally.
In addition, the professional level of the hospital also involves considerate care and all-round service for patients. Reproductive hospitals usually provide psychological counseling, nutritional guidance, postoperative rehabilitation and other services for patients to ensure their physical and mental health. The provision of these services can reduce the anxiety and doubt of patients and increase the safety and reliability of IVF process.
2、 Technical progress and safety
With the continuous development of biomedical technology, the safety of IVF has been significantly improved. First of all, in vitro fertilization technology has been very mature, which can efficiently complete the combination of eggs and sperm. Secondly, the accuracy and success rate of embryo transfer technology have also been greatly improved, reducing the risk of embryo implantation failure. Moreover, the application of genetic diagnosis technology before embryo transfer can eliminate some embryo abnormalities, improve the success rate of embryo implantation, and reduce the risk of early pregnancy abortion.
In addition, some new technologies have emerged in recent years, such as embryo blastocyst culture technology. This technology uses special culture media and instruments, which can better simulate the uterine environment, improve the quality and survival rate of embryos, and thus increase the success rate of IVF. The application of these technologies has brought new breakthroughs to the safety and reliability of IVF.
3、 Control of medical risks
The safety of IVF is closely related to the control of medical risks. In the process of IVF, although there are certain medical risks, the risks can be minimized through strict detection and control.
First, the hospital will conduct a comprehensive physical examination and genetic screening for couples to assess their suitability and risk level for IVF. IVF will only be recommended if the doctor has assessed it as appropriate and the risk is low.
Secondly, in the process of IVF, doctors will formulate personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of the couple, including using appropriate drugs and doses to control the risks of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, multiple pregnancy and so on. The doctor will closely monitor the patient's physical condition, adjust the treatment plan in time, and avoid potential medical risks.
In addition, the hospital will carry out strict quality inspection on embryos to exclude embryos with serious defects. Only qualified embryos will be transferred, reducing the risk of embryo implantation failure and early pregnancy abortion.
4、 Proof of success rate
The success rate of IVF is also one of the important indicators to evaluate its safety and reliability. According to the statistics of some famous reproductive hospitals in China, the success rate of IVF has increased year by year. For example, the data from the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital shows that the success rate of IVF pregnancy has exceeded 55%, and the multiple birth rate and complication rate have been controlled to the greatest extent.
In addition, many successful cases of IVF have also proved its safety and reliability. A large number of examples in life show that through IVF technology, many couples have successfully realized their desire to have children, and their children grow up healthily. These successful cases provide strong evidence for the safety and reliability of IVF.
Summary
In conclusion, the safety and reliability of IVF has been guaranteed by the hospital's professional level, technical progress, medical risk control and success rate. By choosing a reproductive hospital with high professional level and advanced equipment, using advanced reproductive technology, reasonably controlling medical risks, and fully understanding successful cases, couples can safely choose IVF technology to achieve their fertility aspirations.
