Basic conditions for IVF
IVF is an embryo that is cultivated in the laboratory and transferred to the mother through assisted reproductive technology. IVF technology has brought fertility hope to many infertile couples, but in order to ensure the health of infants and successful pregnancy, some basic conditions need to be met.
Appropriate age and physical condition
First, the mother and father of IVF need to be at the right age and in good health. Generally speaking, the best childbearing age is under 35 for women and 40 for men. This is because women's egg quality will decrease with age, and there may be more pregnancy complications. The quality of male sperm is also affected by age, which may reduce the ability to conceive.
In addition, the mother and father should undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that there is no serious disease or genetic history. Some chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, etc. may affect the success rate of pregnancy and pregnancy, so IVF technology should be considered under the treatment and control status.
At the same time, couples should have correct mental state and healthy living habits. IVF babies will experience a series of examinations and treatments during the process, which may cause some pressure on the couple's psychology and life, so they need to have good psychological adjustment and adaptability.
Good egg and sperm quality
The success rate of IVF is closely related to the quality of eggs and sperm. Egg quality is affected by female age and ovarian function. Good egg quality will improve the success rate of implantation and pregnancy. Sperm quality is affected by male lifestyle and reproductive system health, such as smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, etc., which will have a negative impact on sperm quality.
If women's own ovarian function is poor or men's sperm quality is low, they may need to choose donated eggs or sperm for pregnancy. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the provider also meets the same health and age conditions to ensure the quality and health of IVF.
In addition, there are some auxiliary technologies, such as sperm selection and egg quality assessment, which can further improve the success rate of IVF. These technologies need to be carried out in medical institutions, such as the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Adapted uterine environment
The embryos of test tube babies are cultivated in the laboratory, and then transferred to the mother's uterus through the embryos. Therefore, the maternal uterine environment is also an important factor affecting the success rate of IVF.
First, the endometrium should be of appropriate thickness and quality for embryo implantation and development. Women should also rule out endometriosis and other diseases to ensure the smooth progress of embryo implantation.
Secondly, we should check whether the shape and structure of the uterus are normal. The uterine malformation may affect the implantation of embryos and the feasibility of pregnancy, which requires surgical correction or other treatment methods.
Finally, the mother's cervix should have normal function and openness, so that the embryo can smoothly pass through the cervix into the uterine cavity.
Effective assisted reproductive technology team
The success of IVF requires a professional assisted reproductive technology team. The team should be composed of doctors, nurses, reproductive experts and laboratory technicians.
First of all, doctors should have rich experience in IVF operation, be familiar with various assisted reproductive technologies and operation processes, and be able to provide personalized diagnosis and treatment programs for couples.
Secondly, laboratory technicians need to be familiar with operation procedures such as embryo culture and embryo transfer, and can provide safe and high-quality embryos.
Finally, nurses and reproductive experts need to provide full process care and guidance to ensure that couples receive support and assistance in the process of IVF.
Summary
IVF is a complex and sophisticated technology, and its success needs to meet a number of basic conditions. Appropriate age and physical condition, good egg and sperm quality, adaptive uterine environment and effective assisted reproductive technology team are the key factors. Only when these conditions are met, IVF technology can better realize the fertility aspirations of infertile couples.
