Current status of IVF technology
Test tube baby technology is an assisted reproduction technology, which combines eggs and sperm in test tubes to cultivate embryos, and then implant the embryos into women's uterus to achieve the fertility aspirations of infertile families. Since its first successful application in 1978, this technology has made many progress and breakthroughs. The current situation of IVF technology will be described in detail from four aspects: fertility rate, technology improvement, hospital practice and social recognition.
1、 Increase in fertility
In the past decades, IVF technology has achieved remarkable success, and the fertility rate has been increasing. According to the statistics of the International IVF Association, the global average success rate of IVF in each cycle has exceeded 30%, and the success rate of some top hospitals has even exceeded 50%. This achievement is inseparable from the progress of science and technology and the continuous improvement of medical technology.
The experts effectively improved the fertility of IVF by optimizing the culture medium, adjusting the embryo culture time, improving the embryo implantation technology and other measures. In addition, the application of technologies such as gene screening and embryo selective implantation also enables couples with genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities to have access to healthy babies.
However, although the fertility rate of IVF technology continues to increase, the success rate is still low and the attempts of multiple cycles still fail. Therefore, patients should fully understand relevant information and maintain a positive attitude and reasonable expectations before IVF.
2、 Breakthrough in technical improvement
The continuous improvement of IVF technology is very important to improve the success rate and reduce risks. The medical community has learned from the experience of other relevant technologies and carried out innovative research in the field of IVF. For example, the use of new culture media and culture technologies can improve the quality and survival rate of embryos and reduce the risk of early abortion.
In addition, IVF technology is also combined with other reproductive technologies, such as frozen embryo transfer, frozen preservation of eggs or sperm, which can improve the success rate of pregnancy to a certain extent. The application of closed assisted pregnancy technology also makes infertile couples have more choices.
In the future, with the development of gene editing, artificial intelligence and other technologies, IVF technology will be further improved. The introduction of these technologies is expected to help solve some existing problems and improve the health level of infants.
3、 Experience accumulation of hospital practice
In the development of IVF technology, experienced expert teams in some hospitals play an important role. For example, London Thames Project Center in the UK and Boston IVF Center in the US have accumulated rich clinical experience.
These hospitals have invested a lot of resources in the construction of medical equipment, technical level and medical team, which can provide all-round treatment and care for IVF patients. Their successful cases and good reputation have attracted patients from all over the world to come for consultation and medical treatment.
At the same time, some domestic hospitals are also actively introducing IVF technology. The Reproductive Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University Children's Hospital and the Reproductive Center of Peking University Third Hospital also have certain strength and reputation in the field of IVF technology.
4、 Improvement of social recognition
With the progress of science and technology and the continuous development of medical technology, the acceptance of IVF technology in society is also increasing. More and more infertile couples choose to try IVF technology to realize their fertility dreams.
On the one hand, the efforts of the medical community and technological progress have enhanced people's confidence in IVF technology. On the other hand, society's concern and support for reproductive rights have also contributed to the development of IVF technology.
In general, IVF technology has made remarkable progress in fertility, technology improvement, hospital practice and social recognition. In the future, with the continuous innovation and improvement of technology, IVF technology is expected to bring hope and joy to more infertile couples.
Summary
The current situation of IVF technology has made remarkable progress in four aspects: fertility rate, technology improvement, hospital practice and social recognition. The fertility rate of this technology is constantly improving, the technology is constantly improving and making breakthroughs, the hospital has rich practical experience, and the social recognition of this technology is increasing. Despite some problems and challenges, with the development of technology and social support, IVF technology is expected to bring good news to more infertile families and realize their reproductive dreams.
