1、 Principles and indications of IVF
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to infertility and other reasons to achieve their reproductive dreams. Its basic principle is to fertilize female eggs and male sperm in vitro in the laboratory, and then transfer the fertilized eggs to the female uterus for pregnancy.
The indications of IVF include female oviduct obstruction, abnormal ovulation, endometriosis, poor quality of male semen and other infertility symptoms. If there is no obvious disease on both sides of the couple, IVF technology can also be considered to improve the pregnancy rate. With the development of modern medicine, IVF technology has become an effective means to solve the problem of infertility.
