What should we pay attention to in vitro infant malformation?
The development of IVF technology has enabled many infertile couples to realize their dream of having their own children. However, IVF also has certain risks, one of which is that babies may be deformed. Before IVF, both husband and wife should fully understand and pay attention to the following aspects to ensure pregnancy preparation and baby health.
1. Select appropriate hospitals and doctors
Choosing the right hospital and doctor is an important factor to ensure the success of IVF. Patients can choose well-known reproductive hospitals, such as Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Reproductive Medical Center, Guangdong Women and Children's Hospital and other hospitals with rich experience and advanced technology. In addition, qualified and recognized professional doctors need to be selected for consultation and treatment.
The process of IVF requires very delicate and professional operation. Choosing a hospital with good equipment and professional team can greatly reduce the risk of infant malformation. When selecting hospitals and doctors, we can refer to their success rate and patient feedback, and try to choose institutions with high reputation.
2. Reasonable age selection and nutrition supplement
Attention should also be paid to the influence of the age of both spouses on IVF. Female fertility declines with age, so reasonable age selection is crucial to the success rate of IVF and the health of infants. Generally speaking, women who have IVF before the age of 35 can get better results.
During the preparation period, both husband and wife should also pay attention to the balance of diet and nutrition. Adequate intake of nutrients such as folic acid, vitamin D and iron can help improve embryo quality and reduce the risk of malformation. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid overeating and excessive weight loss to maintain weight stability.
3. Infectious disease screening and gene testing
Before IVF, both husband and wife need to conduct comprehensive infectious disease screening. Some infectious diseases, such as AIDS and syphilis, may lead to infection or deformity of infants if IVF is carried out without treatment.
In addition, gene detection is also a very important step. Both husband and wife carry some potential genetic disease genes, and their children may also be affected. Through gene testing, we can predict the risk of genetic diseases and help to make more reasonable decisions.
4. Follow the doctor's advice and check regularly
After IVF, both husband and wife need to follow the doctor's instructions and carry out relevant examinations on a regular basis. During pregnancy, regular prenatal examination and ultrasound examination can understand the fetal development and whether there are abnormalities.
If the fetus is found to be at risk of abnormality or deformity during pregnancy, the doctor can give reasonable suggestions and treatment plans according to the actual situation. Timely intervention is helpful to reduce the possibility of infant malformation.
Summary:
Test tube baby is an advanced reproductive technology, which has brought good news to many infertile couples. However, the risk of IVF malformation also needs to be paid enough attention. In order to ensure the health of IVF babies, it is necessary to select appropriate hospitals and doctors, reasonable age selection and nutrition supplementation, infectious disease screening and genetic testing, as well as following medical advice and regular examinations. Only comprehensive examination, reasonable planning and correct medical guidance can help reduce the risk of IVF malformation and ensure the physical and mental health of children.
