Health conditions for IVF
IVF is a kind of baby developed through artificial assisted reproductive technology (ART), which fertilizes and cultivates embryos in the laboratory, and then transfers the embryos to the mother's uterus. The success rate of IVF depends on many factors, including the overall health of pregnant women and the quality of embryos. Before selecting a suitable donor and carrying out embryo transfer, the doctor will assess the health of the mother and donor. The following will elaborate on the health conditions that IVF needs to meet from four aspects.
1. Incubation environment
In order to successfully culture and develop embryos, the laboratory must provide a suitable incubation environment. This includes stable temperature, humidity and oxygen content. The laboratory usually uses an incubator with precise regulation function to ensure that the embryo develops in good conditions. Doctors and laboratory technicians must regularly check and adjust the parameters of the incubator to ensure that they are always within the appropriate range.
In addition, the laboratory must maintain a clean and sterile environment to prevent the impact of external pollution on embryos. Hospitals such as Alice Medical Center in the United States are a perfect IVF laboratory.
2. Health of sperm donors
The health status of sperm donors directly affects the quality of fertilized eggs. Donors should undergo detailed physical examination and disease screening to ensure that they have no genetic diseases or other health problems related to fertility. The doctor will also evaluate the living habits, drug use and vaccination of the donor. Only healthy and qualified donors can become donors of IVF.
3. Health of pregnant women
The success of IVF is closely related to the health status of pregnant women. Pregnant women usually need comprehensive physical examination and disease screening before receiving IVF treatment. Doctors will also evaluate the living habits, drug use and genetic disease history of pregnant women. Pregnant women must have sufficient uterine volume, normal endometrium and appropriate endocrine status to accept the implantation and development of embryos.
In addition, pregnant women also need to have a good psychological state to cope with the pressure and emotional fluctuations caused by IVF treatment. They need to fully understand the process of IVF and the possible risks of treatment, and maintain close communication and cooperation with doctors.
4. Embryo quality
The quality of embryos is one of the key factors in the success rate of IVF. Good embryo quality means that the embryo can normally develop into a healthy baby after transplantation. The quality of the embryo depends on the genetic quality of the donor and donor, as well as the process and technology of in vitro culture. The doctor will evaluate the morphology, cell number and progress of the embryo, and select the embryo with the best potential for transplantation.
To sum up, IVF needs to meet the incubation environment and the health conditions of sperm donors and pregnant women, and the quality of embryos must also be guaranteed. Only when these health conditions are met can the success rate of IVF be improved.
