What are the new developments of IVF technology in Shanghai?
IVF technology is a kind of reproductive assistant technology to help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. As China's medical center and scientific and technological innovation highland, Shanghai has made remarkable new progress in IVF technology. This article will elaborate from four aspects: embryo selection, female fallopian tube recovery, male sperm quality improvement and implantation rate improvement.
Embryonic selection
Embryo selection is a key step in IVF technology. Previously, scientists primarily judged the development potential of embryos by observing their appearance, but this method was subjective and inaccurate. Some hospitals in Shanghai have begun to introduce gene sequencing technology to screen embryos with high potential for transplantation by analyzing the genome information of embryos, so as to improve the success rate of IVF. In addition, some hospitals also combine time interpretation models and artificial intelligence technology to more accurately predict the development of embryos and help doctors choose the best embryos.
New progress has made embryo selection more accurate and reliable, reducing the risk of fertility failure caused by poor embryo quality. This provides better fertility opportunities for infertile couples.
Female fallopian tube recovery
The patency of female fallopian tube is very important to the success of IVF. In traditional technology, tubal lesions generally need surgical treatment, but there is still a high recurrence rate after surgery. In order to solve this problem, some hospitals in Shanghai have introduced minimally invasive treatment technology. This technique can repair the diseased fallopian tube, restore its patency, improve the pregnancy rate, avoid surgical trauma and postoperative recovery period, and alleviate the pain of patients through vaginal implantation of fallopian tube stent.
The application of this new technology has greatly reduced the recurrence rate of tubal diseases, improved the success rate of IVF, and brought new hope to infertile couples.
Improvement of male sperm quality
The quality of male sperm directly affects the success rate of IVF. Some hospitals in Shanghai have carried out a series of studies to improve the quality of male sperm. Among them, a common method is to combine high-quality sperm with eggs through sperm separation technology to improve the development potential of embryos. In addition, some hospitals have also developed sperm quality assessment systems, which can provide a basis for doctors to formulate more accurate treatment plans by assessing sperm vitality, morphology, concentration and other indicators.
The application of these new technologies not only improves the quality of male sperm, but also increases the chances of success of IVF, bringing more possibilities for infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams.
Increased implantation rate
A key link in IVF technology is embryo implantation. Some hospitals in Shanghai have carried out a series of studies to explore how to improve the implantation rate of embryos. Among them, the optimization of embryo culture medium is an important direction. Scientists have improved the composition and formula of the culture medium to make it closer to the intrauterine environment, increase the survival rate of embryos in vitro culture, and improve the implantation ability of embryos. In addition, some hospitals have also explored the technology of embryo positioning in the uterus to ensure the correct position of the embryo and improve the implantation rate of the embryo.
These new developments can significantly increase the implantation rate of embryos, reduce the loss of embryos in the transfer process, and improve the success rate of IVF.
Summary
In Shanghai, IVF technology has made many new progress in embryo selection, female fallopian tube recovery, male sperm quality improvement and implantation rate improvement. The introduction of embryo selection technology has improved the accuracy of embryo evaluation, the minimally invasive treatment technology for female fallopian tube recovery has reduced the recurrence rate of surgery, the improvement of male sperm quality has made the development potential of fertilized eggs higher, and the improvement of implantation rate has increased the success chance of IVF. The application of these new technologies provides more opportunities for infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams.
