IVF reduction
IVF reduction means that after IVF conception, if multiple embryos are implanted, the doctor will choose to retain the healthiest one or several embryos and remove other implanted embryos, thereby reducing the risk of multiple pregnancy. However, some people believe that IVF reduction may lead to infertility problems. This article will discuss whether IVF reduction will lead to infertility from four aspects: embryo quality, manual operation risk, drug use and hospital technology level.
Embryo quality
IVF reduction is generally carried out in the early stage of multiple pregnancy. Doctors will evaluate the quality of the embryo and select the healthiest embryo to keep. In fact, multiple pregnancies pose a high risk to both mother and embryo, including premature delivery, low birth weight and other complications. Therefore, reducing these risks by reducing the number of embryos can improve the success rate of pregnancy. The quality of retained embryos is better, and their implantation and survival rates are higher, which is beneficial to the subsequent pregnancy process.
In addition, the development of modern IVF technology makes embryo quality assessment more accurate. Through non-invasive gene testing of embryos, we can screen out embryos with genetic defects and avoid the problem of infertility caused by selecting embryos with poor quality.
Manual operation risk
IVF reduction is a highly specialized operation operated by experienced doctors. The introduction of new technologies and the improvement of professional skills have greatly reduced the risk of fetal reduction surgery. In regular hospitals and clinics, doctors will strictly follow the operating procedures and make preparations before surgery. The aseptic operating environment and advanced medical equipment ensure the safety of the operation.
In addition, modern IVF technology can also provide advanced embryo monitoring and implantation technology, reducing the risk of embryo damage caused by surgery. Therefore, through professional operation and technical support, the risk of infertility of IVF is relatively low.
drug use
In IVF fetal reduction surgery, drug assistance may be used, such as anesthesia and hemostatic drugs. However, these drugs are strictly evaluated and tested before surgery to ensure the safety of patients and the effectiveness of drugs. The doctor will select appropriate drugs according to the patient's physical condition and needs, and adjust according to the patient's response. Therefore, the correct use of drugs will not lead to infertility problems.
Hospital technical level
The IVF reduction operation needs to be carried out in formal hospitals or clinics, and the technical level and equipment conditions of hospitals have an important impact on the results of the operation. Choosing a hospital with rich experience and comprehensive strength for IVF reduction surgery can significantly reduce the risk of infertility. Some well-known IVF hospitals at home and abroad, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, have advanced technology and rich clinical experience in IVF technology.
To sum up, IVF reduction surgery itself will not lead to infertility problems. On the contrary, it can reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy and improve the success rate of pregnancy. Through scientific embryo screening and non-invasive gene testing, as well as professional surgical operations and advanced medical equipment, the safety and effectiveness of surgery can be ensured. Choosing a hospital with rich experience and comprehensive strength for IVF reduction surgery can further reduce the risk of infertility.
