Prevention and avoidance of IVF malformation
IVF baby is a child born by IVF assisted reproduction. Although IVF technology has helped many infertile couples realize their desire to have children, the incidence of malformations is relatively high in the process of IVF. In order to reduce the occurrence of IVF malformation, the following four aspects are described in detail.
1. Select appropriate hospitals and doctors
When selecting IVF hospitals and doctors, we first need to ensure that they have legal qualifications and rich clinical experience. Qualified hospitals and doctors can provide more professional, safe and effective services for couples through formal IVF technology. For example, well-known hospitals such as Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center and Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital Assisted Reproductive Medicine Center have good reputation and top technical level.
In addition, we should also have a basic understanding of the hospital, including checking whether its facilities and equipment are advanced and whether it has a perfect management system. Appropriate hospitals and doctors can not only provide high-quality services, but also effectively avoid and prevent the occurrence of IVF malformations.
2. Do a good job in gene detection and embryo screening
In the process of IVF, gene detection and embryo screening are the key steps to prevent malformations. Gene testing can help couples understand whether they carry genes of genetic diseases, so as to avoid passing on genetic diseases to the next generation. Embryo screening can detect the chromosome number and structure of the embryo, screen the embryo, and select healthy embryos to implant into the uterus.
At present, gene detection and embryo screening have been widely used, and the technology is more and more mature. For example, you can choose to test in a genetic testing laboratory recognized by the World Health Organization to ensure the accuracy of the results. In addition, non-invasive genomics screening technology in embryo screening has greatly improved the prevention effect of IVF malformations.
3. Control the risks of hormone medication
In the process of IVF, hormone drugs are usually used to promote ovarian development and ovulation. These drugs increase the risk of IVF malformation to some extent.
In order to minimize the risk of hormone medication, IVF couples should strictly follow the doctor's recommendations and drug instructions. At the same time, couples should pay close attention to physical changes during medication, and report any abnormalities to the doctor in time. In addition, by increasing drug monitoring and adjusting the medication program, we can further reduce the risk of hormone medication and prevent the occurrence of malformations in test tube babies.
4. Carry out a comprehensive pre pregnancy examination
Before IVF, couples should have a comprehensive pre pregnancy examination in order to find and deal with existing health problems as soon as possible and reduce the occurrence of malformations. Pre pregnancy examination includes but is not limited to: physical health, reproductive system examination, various disease detection, genetic disease screening, etc.
Through pre pregnancy inspection, couples can timely obtain comprehensive information about their own health status, and carry out corresponding treatment and adjustment under the guidance of doctors to ensure optimal physical condition and reduce the risk of IVF malformation.
Summary
In order to prevent and avoid the occurrence of IVF malformations, we can start from selecting appropriate hospitals and doctors, doing a good job in gene testing and embryo screening, controlling the risk of hormone drugs and conducting comprehensive prenatal examinations. Reasonable selection of medical institutions and doctors, scientific gene testing and embryo screening, attention to the regulation and monitoring of hormone use, and comprehensive prenatal examination can effectively reduce the risk of IVF malformation and provide guarantees for couples to realize the dream of healthy children.
