Radical treatment of test tube infant malformation
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization or embryo transfer. However, IVF also faces the risk of malformation. For IVF, people are concerned about whether it can be eradicated. This article will discuss this problem from many aspects.
1. Genetic disease screening and genetic counseling
One of the main causes of IVF malformation is genetic factors. In order to minimize the risk of genetic diseases, the IVF Center will screen couples for genetic diseases. Through genetic testing, couples carrying gene mutations can be found, and the risk of birth malformations can be assessed. When high risks are found, couples can accept genetic counseling to make more informed decisions.
In addition to screening and counseling before IVF, geneticists can also conduct genetic diagnosis before embryo transfer, which is called embryonic genetic diagnosis (PGD). PGD can screen chromosome abnormalities, single gene disease variations and polygene diseases in embryos, so as to select normal and healthy embryos for transplantation and minimize the risk of malformation.
In conclusion, genetic disease screening and genetic counseling are important means to prevent IVF malformations, which can reduce the probability of malformations through scientific methods.
2. Careful pre pregnancy health care and monitoring
Pre pregnancy health care and monitoring of IVF are also very important to reduce the risk of malformations. The IVF Center will conduct a comprehensive physical examination and assessment of women before surgery to ensure that they are in good health. In addition, the center will provide nutrition guidance and lifestyle advice to help couples maintain healthy living habits.
In the process of IVF, doctors will closely monitor the physical condition of pregnant women. Through regular prenatal examination, blood testing and ultrasonic monitoring, doctors can timely detect the possible risks of fetal malformation and take intervention measures. For example, in the case of abnormal fetal development, the doctor may recommend special examinations such as amniocentesis for pregnant women to further confirm the fetal situation and determine follow-up treatment measures.
To sum up, close pre pregnancy health care and monitoring can timely detect the possible risk of fetal malformation and take corresponding measures to intervene.
3. Advanced embryo screening technology
With the development of science and technology, embryo screening technology has become more and more advanced. In addition to embryonic genetic diagnosis (PGD), there is a new method widely used, called non-invasive prenatal gene testing (NIPT). NIPT screened fetal genes by extracting fetal free DNA from maternal blood.
The advantage of NIPT is that it is non-invasive and does not require invasive examination in traditional methods such as embryo transfer or amniocentesis, which can greatly reduce the risk of maternal physical trauma and fetus. NIPT can detect most trisomy syndromes, some chromosomal abnormalities and some gene mutation diseases at an early stage to help couples make more clear decisions.
To sum up, the advanced embryo screening technology provides a more feasible way to reduce the risk of IVF malformation, so that couples can more confidently carry out the IVF process.
4. Comprehensive treatment system of general hospital
In China, some general hospitals provide a comprehensive comprehensive treatment system for IVF, help couples reasonably choose appropriate IVF programs, and provide one-stop diagnosis and treatment services.
Among them, the IVF Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a comprehensive hospital with international advanced level. The center has advanced equipment and professional team, which can conduct high-quality embryo culture, embryo selection, artificial implantation and other operations. In addition, the center also carries out genetic counseling, pre pregnancy health care programs jointly developed by pediatricians and obstetricians, and pregnancy risk assessment.
The comprehensive treatment system of the general hospital can provide all-round services and care, providing couples with more secure IVF selection and treatment experience.
Summary
Through genetic disease screening and genetic consultation, intimate prenatal care and monitoring, advanced embryo screening technology and comprehensive treatment system of general hospitals, the radical treatment of IVF is gradually becoming feasible. Couples can choose appropriate treatment plans under the guidance of professional doctors, and minimize the risk of deformity through different screening and intervention means. Of course, due to the different physical conditions and genetic backgrounds of each couple, we still need to continue our efforts and exploration to eradicate the deformity.
