Can we choose IVF after ligation?
Ligation is a common method of contraception. The vas deferens or fallopian tubes are ligated by surgery to achieve the purpose of long-term contraception. However, with the progress of science and technology and the development of IVF technology, some couples who have undergone ligation begin to consider whether they can choose IVF to realize their desire to have another child. This article will discuss whether IVF can be selected after ligation from the aspects of physiological condition, medical feasibility, psychological considerations and legal provisions.
Physiological condition
Ligation achieves the purpose of contraception by blocking the fallopian tube or vas deferens, which will have a certain impact on fertility. For women, it is difficult to recanalize the fallopian tube after ligation, so it is more likely to achieve a second birth through tubal hydrotubation or test tube baby technology. For men, the success rate of ejaculation after ligation is high, so semen extraction and IVF technology can be considered for fertility.
However, it should be noted that the success rate of ligation is not 100%, and there is a certain failure rate. Therefore, couples who want to choose IVF should fully understand the success rate and possible complications of ligation when considering their physiological conditions, so as to make reasonable decisions.
Medical feasibility
Test tube baby technology is a relatively complex reproductive medicine technology, which needs to be carried out in hospitals or clinics. Therefore, for couples who want to choose IVF, whether there are qualified medical institutions is also an important consideration.
At present, many well-known hospitals at home and abroad provide IVF services, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, California Reproductive Medicine Center, etc. These medical institutions have professional doctor teams and advanced equipment, which can provide couples with comprehensive IVF diagnosis and treatment services. Therefore, if couples want to choose IVF after ligation, the medical feasibility can be guaranteed.
Psychological considerations
The psychological status of the couple should also be taken into consideration when selecting IVF after ligation. Ligation is often used to avoid having another child. The couple may have made a decision on fertility. If you suddenly change your mind and choose IVF, it may have a certain impact on the couple's psychological state.
Therefore, before making a decision, couples should fully communicate with each other, clarify their fertility intentions, and consult a psychologist for advice. Sometimes, taking part in family therapy is also a beneficial choice, which can help couples better cope with psychological pressure and maintain a good attitude.
Legal provisions
In different countries and regions, there are also differences in the legal provisions on the selection of IVF after ligation. Some countries allow IVF technology after ligation, but need to meet certain conditions and procedures; Other countries have restrictions on this.
In China, there is no clear legal provision on whether IVF can be selected after ligation. However, as a typical medical method, IVF technology is legally recognized in China. Therefore, as long as medical conditions and procedures are met, IVF can be selected after ligation.
Summary
Choosing IVF after ligation is a common reproductive choice, which has certain medical feasibility for couples who want to have another child. However, before making a decision, couples need to consider physiological conditions, medical feasibility, psychological factors, legal provisions and other factors to make a rational choice.
