Selection of IVF in recent years
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is an in vitro fertilization (IVF) baby, which has been gradually popularized worldwide since the 1980s. In recent years, more and more couples choose IVF to achieve their fertility aspirations. This article will elaborate on the selection of IVF in recent years from four aspects: hospital professionalism, success rate, cost and ethics.
Hospital professionalism
Choosing a professional hospital is the first step for couples to carry out IVF. Having advanced equipment and experienced doctors is an important guarantee to ensure the success rate of IVF. In China, well-known hospitals such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the Reproductive Medicine Center of Shanghai Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital have high reputation in the field of IVF. The number of couples who choose these hospitals for IVF is increasing year by year, which also shows that hospital professionalism is an important factor in their choice.
In addition, there are also many well-known IVF hospitals in the world, such as Boston Children's Hospital in the United States, Surrey Fertility Center in London in the United Kingdom, etc. Because these hospitals have rich experience and advanced technology in the field of IVF, they attract couples from all over the world to seek help. According to statistics, in recent years, the number of couples who choose to go to overseas hospitals for IVF is also increasing.
Success rate
The success rate of IVF is one of the key factors for couples to choose. With the continuous progress of medical technology, the success rate of IVF is also increasing year by year. According to the data of some domestic hospitals, the success rate of IVF is usually between 40% and 60%. The improvement of the success rate is mainly due to the gradual improvement of assisted reproductive technology, such as the improvement of embryo culture technology and genetic screening. The application of these technologies has significantly improved the pregnancy rate and pregnancy rate of IVF.
However, the success rate of IVF is still uncertain. Some factors, such as female age and disease, will affect the success rate of IVF. Therefore, when choosing to carry out IVF, couples usually first conduct a comprehensive physical examination and consultation to assess their suitability and success rate.
cost
The cost of IVF is an important consideration. Because IVF needs a series of examinations, drug treatment, surgery, etc., the cost is high. According to the price difference of different hospitals and countries, the cost of IVF is generally between tens of thousands yuan and hundreds of thousands yuan. In China, some hospitals also provide certain IVF medical insurance to ease the economic pressure on couples.
Due to the high cost of IVF, some couples choose to go to foreign hospitals for IVF when economic conditions permit. For example, carrying out IVF in the United States may cost more, but because of the high level of technology and service in hospitals, some couples still choose to go to the United States to seek help.
Ethics
The ethical and moral issues of IVF have attracted much attention. The development of IVF technology has expanded the reproductive rights of couples, but also triggered a series of ethical disputes. For example, some countries prohibit sex selective IVF to avoid gender imbalance. At the same time, IVF also involves potential ethical issues such as embryo screening and multiple pregnancy.
In order to protect the ethical rights and interests of IVF, many countries and regions have formulated a series of relevant laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are intended to limit the use of IVF and protect the rights and interests of embryos and infants. When couples choose IVF, they also need to follow these ethical regulations to ensure the legitimacy and morality of the baby.
summary
In recent years, IVF has been widely used worldwide. The main factors that couples choose include hospital professionalism, success rate, cost and ethics. Professional hospitals provide advanced technology and experienced doctors, which improves the success rate of IVF. However, there is still some uncertainty and pressure on the success rate and cost of IVF. At the same time, ethical and moral issues are also important factors that couples need to consider when choosing IVF. The continuous development of IVF technology and the establishment of ethical norms will provide better choices and protection for couples.
