Who is satisfied with IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a technology that cultivates embryos after in vitro fertilization, and then transfers healthy embryos to the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy. The development of this technology provides a new life opportunity for those couples who cannot conceive naturally. So, who are the satisfied people of IVF? This article will elaborate from four aspects: age, fertility, genetic diseases and infertility.
Age limit
Age is an important factor in the selection of IVF. The reproductive capacity of women will decline with the increase of age, especially after the age of 35, the difficulty of pregnancy will increase significantly. Therefore, couples over 35 years old often choose IVF technology to achieve pregnancy. In addition, some young couples may choose IVF because of other fertility problems.
However, age also has some limitations. Generally speaking, if a woman is over 45 years old, it is difficult to conceive successfully even through IVF technology. In addition, the age of men also affects the success rate of IVF. With the increase of age, the quality and quantity of male sperm will be affected, so it needs careful consideration.
Fertility
Many couples may have fertility problems, such as women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome, fallopian tube blockage, endometriosis and other diseases, or men suffering from sperm quality problems. For these couples, the chance of natural pregnancy is very limited, and IVF technology has become their hope to realize their dreams.
IVF technology can help couples solve fertility problems through artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and other methods. For example, for women with blocked fallopian tubes, in vitro fertilization can be used to combine eggs with sperm and culture embryos, and then transfer the embryos into the uterus. These technologies can successfully help couples achieve their desire to become pregnant.
Genetic disease
Some couples may carry genes with genetic diseases, and they are worried that these genes will be passed on to the next generation. In this case, they can choose to use IVF technology to avoid passing on genetic diseases to their offspring through gene screening and genetic diagnosis.
IVF technology can perform genetic diagnosis on embryos before fertilization. Doctors can extract a small number of cells for gene testing at the early stage of fertilized egg culture to confirm whether the embryo carries genetic diseases. Only healthy embryos will be selected for transplantation into the mother's womb to ensure the health of the baby.
Infertility
Infertility refers to the condition that couples cannot conceive naturally or experience multiple abortions for a long time. This may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as male sterility, endometriosis, egg quality problems, etc. For these couples, IVF technology is an effective solution.
IVF technology can extract eggs and sperm, and then conduct in vitro fertilization in the laboratory to produce healthy embryos, and finally transfer the embryos to the uterus. This technology can help those infertile couples realize their dream of having a healthy baby.
Summary
IVF technology has played a huge role in modern medicine, providing a new way for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Whether couples over 35 years old or couples with fertility problems, genetic diseases or infertility problems, IVF technology can become their hope to achieve pregnancy. However, every couple should conduct a comprehensive consultation and evaluation before choosing IVF technology to determine whether it is suitable for this technology, so as to maximize the chance of successful pregnancy.
