What are the technologies with high success rate for IVF?
In recent years, the technology of IVF has developed rapidly, providing an opportunity for infertile couples to realize their reproductive aspirations. Among the numerous IVF technologies, some with high success rates have attracted much attention. This article will elaborate on these high success rate technologies from four aspects: ultrasonic monitoring, embryo culture, single embryo transfer and PGD screening.
Ultrasonic monitoring
Ultrasonic monitoring is one of the important technical links in IVF. It can accurately observe and evaluate the development of follicles, guide doctors to choose the timing of egg collection, improve the quality and quantity of eggs, and thus improve the success rate of IVF ovulation. At present, many regular hospitals in China have advanced ultrasonic monitoring instruments and professional technical teams, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, which have made remarkable achievements in ultrasonic monitoring.
The high success rate of ultrasonic monitoring technology mainly benefits from its non-invasive and accuracy. Through ultrasonic monitoring, doctors can clearly observe the development of follicles and determine the best time for ovulation, thus improving the probability of successful pregnancy. In addition, ultrasonic monitoring can also help doctors find and deal with some ovarian abnormalities in time, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, and provide a strong basis for the treatment of infertility.
Embryo culture
Embryo culture is an important part in the process of IVF, which determines the quality and development of embryos. In recent years, embryo culture technology has been greatly improved and perfected, making the success rate of IVF significantly increased. Among them, the most interesting techniques are in vitro culture (IVC) and time gradient culture (TGC).
IVC technology means that fertilized eggs are placed in a specific culture medium for culture to simulate the intrauterine environment and provide high-quality nutrition and gas, thus increasing the possibility of embryo implantation. Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences has rich experience in embryo culture, and the success rate of using IVC technology is high.
TGC technology refers to setting different culture conditions and time according to the characteristics of embryo development, so as to gradually meet the needs of different stages of embryo development. Shenzhen Qianhai Reproductive Hospital is the first hospital in China to introduce and use TGC technology. The application of this technology has further improved the quality of embryos, and the success rate has also been significantly improved.
Single embryo transfer
One of the problems that IVF technology has always been criticized is the high incidence of multiple pregnancy, which has certain risks to the health of mothers and infants. In this regard, single embryo transfer technology provides an effective means to solve the problem of multiple births.
Single embryo transfer refers to the transfer of only one embryo into the uterus in the process of IVF to reduce the risk of multiple births. When selecting an embryo with the most development potential for transplantation, doctors can make judgments based on the quality assessment and genetic examination results of the embryo. Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital is one of the first hospitals in China to successfully implement single embryo transfer, and its success rate is in the leading position in the country.
PGD screening
PGD screening is an important technology in IVF. It can perform genetic examination on embryos, screen out embryos carrying certain disease genes, and avoid genetic diseases. At present, PGD screening is mainly used to detect chromosome abnormalities, monogenic genetic diseases and some hereditary cancers.
The high success rate of PGD screening technology benefits from its accuracy and reliability. Some well-known domestic hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, have implemented PGD screening technology and made significant progress, providing effective means for the prevention and treatment of genetic diseases.
Summary
The high success rate of IVF technology is closely related to many factors, among which ultrasound monitoring, embryo culture, single embryo transfer and PGD screening play an important role. These technologies have been widely used in famous hospitals, and remarkable achievements have been made. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous improvement of technology, it is believed that the success rate of IVF technology will continue to increase, providing hope for more infertile couples to realize their dreams of childbirth.
