How to prevent IVF malformation?
The development of IVF technology has enabled many infertile couples to realize their dreams of becoming parents. However, IVF also has certain risks, one of which is the occurrence of infant malformation. In order to reduce this risk, we can prevent it from the following four aspects.
1. Select a regular hospital for IVF
First of all, choosing a normal hospital for IVF is one of the important measures to prevent infant malformation. Regular hospitals have professional medical teams and advanced equipment, which can more accurately select and transfer embryos. For example, well-known hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine all have high technical level and rich clinical experience.
In addition, regular hospitals can also follow strict operating procedures and specifications to reduce human errors and deviations. Therefore, selecting a regular hospital for IVF can ensure the reliability and safety of the technology to the greatest extent and reduce the occurrence of infant malformations.
2. Carry out comprehensive genetic testing
In addition to selecting regular hospitals, comprehensive genetic testing is also an important step to prevent infant malformations. By testing the couple's genes, we can know whether there is a risk of carrying genetic diseases. If there is a risk of carrying, the embryos with low risk of disease can be screened for transfer through genetic relationship identification, embryo gene screening and other methods.
In addition, gene testing can also help identify chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. For embryos with chromosomal abnormalities, early screening and selection can avoid the birth of unnecessary malformations.
3. Healthy lifestyle
Healthy lifestyle is very important to prevent IVF malformation. First of all, the couple should adhere to a balanced diet to ensure nutrition intake. Adequate intake of vitamins and minerals is essential for the growth and development of embryos.
Secondly, couples should avoid smoking, excessive drinking and exposure to toxic substances, because these behaviors will increase the risk of embryo malformation. In addition, excessive physical labor and strenuous exercise should also be avoided to avoid damage to embryos.
Finally, couples should maintain mental health. The process of IVF is a complex process, which is easy to bring some psychological pressure. Couples can reduce the impact of negative emotions and create a good environment for the healthy development of embryos through active psychological adjustment and counseling.
4. Follow the doctor's advice and conduct regular prenatal examination
Finally, couples should follow the doctor's advice in the process of IVF and conduct prenatal examination regularly. According to the specific conditions of the couple, doctors can develop personalized treatment programs and counseling measures to reduce the risk of infant malformation.
In addition, regular prenatal examination can timely detect and deal with fetal abnormalities, such as intrauterine growth retardation, placental dysfunction, etc. Timely taking appropriate treatment measures can effectively reduce the incidence of infant malformations.
summary
We can effectively prevent the occurrence of IVF malformation by selecting regular hospitals, conducting comprehensive genetic testing, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following the doctor's recommendations. The progress of IVF technology has brought new hope to infertile couples. We should make full use of modern medical means to ensure that every IVF baby grows up healthily and happily.
