Who is suitable for IVF technology?
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF can help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological reasons realize their reproductive dreams. The following is a detailed description of the population suitable for IVF technology from four aspects.
Medical factors
IVF technology is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to medical reasons. For example, women may have fallopian tube diseases that lead to the inability of eggs to be fertilized through the fallopian tube, abnormal or resected uterus, and the inability to conceive naturally. Men may have poor sperm quality or infertility. IVF technology can help these couples realize their reproductive dreams by fertilizing sperm and eggs in vitro and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's womb.
Even for couples who have experienced multiple spontaneous abortions, IVF technology can provide solutions. In IVF technology, doctors can conduct gene screening on fertilized eggs, select healthy embryos for transplantation, and reduce the risk of miscarriage.
Age factor
IVF technology is particularly helpful for older women. The number and quality of female eggs will decline with age, thus increasing the difficulty of pregnancy. Through IVF technology, donated young women's eggs can be used for fertilization and transplantation to improve the chance of successful pregnancy.
In addition, in the legal provisions of different countries and regions, age factors are also included in the scope of application of IVF technology. Some countries have restrictions on the age of women, and usually require women to be under 45 years old to carry out IVF technology.
Genetic factor
IVF technology is applicable to couples with a family history of genetic diseases. In IVF technology, doctors can conduct genetic testing to screen whether an embryo carries the gene of a genetic disease. If there is a risk, embryos that do not carry this gene can be selected for transplantation to reduce the transmission of genetic diseases in future generations.
In addition, IVF technology can also help single parents or same-sex couples realize their dreams of childbearing. Through the use of donated sperm or eggs, combined with IVF technology, these people can also enjoy the joy of childbirth.
psychological factor
IVF technology is applicable to couples who have experienced long-term infertility. The inability to conceive naturally will bring certain negative effects on the psychological health of the couple, and may even lead to tension in the relationship between the couple. IVF technology can help these couples regain hope, reduce psychological pressure and improve the quality of life.
At the same time, IVF technology is also applicable to those couples who cannot achieve natural pregnancy due to other reasons. For example, some women may not be able to conceive naturally because of congenital absence of uterus or diseases related to reproductive organs. IVF technology can provide an alternative solution to help these couples realize their reproductive dreams.
Summary
To sum up, IVF technology is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to medical reasons, including fallopian tube diseases, uterine abnormalities or excision, low sperm quality, etc. Age is also a consideration of the scope of application, especially for older women. IVF technology can also help couples solve genetic problems, and is applicable to single parents or same-sex couples. In addition, psychological factors are also considered, which can help couples regain hope and reduce psychological pressure. With the progress of modern medicine, IVF technology provides a feasible solution for people who cannot conceive naturally.
