Basic requirements for IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their fertility aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. However, IVF is not applicable to all couples, but only when certain conditions are met. The basic conditions of IVF will be described in detail from four aspects.
good health
First of all, the health of the couple is one of the basic conditions for IVF. Physical health involves the basic physiological conditions and disease history of the couple. Women need to have normal reproductive system structure and function, such as normal ovulation, unobstructed fallopian tubes and healthy uterus. Men need to have normal semen quality, including sperm quantity, vitality and morphology. At the same time, couples should not suffer from serious genetic diseases, such as chromosome abnormalities, congenital malformations, etc., in order to reduce the health risk of offspring.
Secondly, couples should not suffer from serious chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, etc., because these diseases may affect the development of embryos and the safety of pregnancy. In addition, mental health is also one of the conditions, because couples need to have the ability to cope with the psychological pressure and burden of treatment.
Finally, age is also an important indicator of physical health. The fertility of women begins to decline after the age of 35, while that of men will gradually decline after the age of 40. Therefore, age also affects the appropriate time for couples to choose IVF to some extent.
economic condition
IVF needs to pay high costs, including medical costs, medication costs, auxiliary examination costs, etc. Therefore, couples need to have certain economic strength to bear these costs. In addition, since IVF is not a one-time success, couples need to be financially prepared for possible multiple attempts.
In addition, in the process of IVF, some complications or accidents may be encountered, which also requires that couples have the financial ability to cope. Therefore, before deciding to carry out IVF, couples need to make a full economic assessment and ensure that they have the appropriate economic conditions.
Time and Recovery
It takes a certain amount of time and effort to carry out IVF. The couple needs to go to the hospital for various examinations and operations according to the doctor's arrangement. Women, in particular, may need to inject drugs on time every day, and conduct regular ultrasound and blood sampling tests to ensure that the ovaries are in a proper state. In addition, after IVF surgery, women also need a period of rest and recovery, so as to improve the chance of successful pregnancy.
Therefore, when choosing to carry out IVF, couples need to ensure that they have enough time to cooperate with the doctor's guidance and maintain good rest and recovery after the operation.
psychological support
IVF surgery is a stressful process. Couples may face physical and psychological difficulties and challenges. Therefore, couples need the support of family and friends, as well as the professional guidance of doctors and psychological consultants. Understanding the possible problems and risks in IVF and making psychological preparations in advance can help couples cope with difficulties and pressures better and increase the chances of success.
In conclusion, IVF requires couples to have good physical health, stable economic conditions, enough time and recovery ability, and good psychological support. Only when these basic conditions are met, can couples choose to carry out IVF to improve the success rate of fertility.
