Realization process of IVF
IVF technology means that the fertilized eggs are cultured in vitro through assisted reproduction technology, and then embedded into the female uterus to achieve pregnancy. However, for women without uterus, the realization process of IVF is different. Next, we will elaborate on how to realize IVF for women without uterus from four aspects.
Selective surrogacy
Surrogate is a feasible way to realize IVF for women without uterus. Surrogate refers to inserting the fertilized egg into another woman's uterus to make her bear the responsibility for pregnancy and childbirth. This process requires the applicant and the surrogate mother to reach an agreement and ensure the rights and interests of both parties through legal procedures. Once the surrogate mother is pregnant, she will become the gestator of the baby, while women without a uterus can enjoy the treatment of the mother and participate in the middle of pregnancy and delivery together.
In China, Beijing 301 Hospital is one of the earliest hospitals with surrogacy technology research and medical services. The assisted reproduction expert team of the hospital provided full guidance and technical support for women without uterus.
Uterine transplantation
Uterine transplantation is another option for women without uterus to realize IVF. This operation involves implanting the donor's uterus into the recipient's body so that she can become pregnant and give birth. The operation process is relatively complex and requires the cooperation of a high-level medical team. KAROLINSKA Hospital in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is the first hospital in the world to successfully perform uterine transplantation and deliver.
The operation of uterine transplantation requires a comprehensive evaluation by doctors to ensure that the women receiving the operation have appropriate health conditions. After surgery, regular follow-up and medication are necessary to ensure the health of the uterus and the success of pregnancy.
Egg donation
If a woman without a uterus has poor egg quality or is unable to obtain eggs, she can choose to donate eggs. This is a common assisted reproductive technology, which is carried out under the agreement between the donor and the recipient. Donors undergo rigorous medical evaluation to ensure that the quality and quantity of their eggs meet the requirements.
A number of clinical hospitals in China have provided donation and IVF related services. Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital is one of them. Their assisted reproduction expert team not only has rich experience in egg donation, but also provides comprehensive technical support.
embryo transfer
Once healthy eggs and sperm are obtained, embryo transfer is the last step in the process of IVF. Before embryo transfer, doctors will screen and cultivate embryos to ensure that the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer.
Nanjing Maternity Hospital is one of the pioneers of assisted reproductive technology in China. It has the most advanced embryo transfer equipment and technology and provides professional embryo transfer services.
Summary
For women without uterus, there are several feasible options for IVF. Such technologies as surrogacy, uterine transplantation, egg donation and embryo transfer provide these women with opportunities to realize their mothers' dreams. Through appropriate medical programs and the support of the hospital team, women without uterus can also successfully achieve IVF.
