The influence of family history on the success rate of IVF
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in infertile couples. However, family history may affect the success rate of IVF to some extent. This article will elaborate on this from four aspects.
1. Genetic diseases
The existence of genetic diseases in the family history will undoubtedly increase the risk of genetic diseases in IVF. Some genetic diseases, such as hereditary chromosome abnormalities, single gene genetic diseases, can be screened through gene testing. If these diseases exist in the family, the success rate of IVF will be affected.
Hospitals such as the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital will carry out detailed genetic counseling and gene testing before IVF, so as to know whether couples carry genes related to hereditary diseases. This will help doctors to design reasonable fertility programs and reduce the impact of genetic diseases on the success rate of IVF.
2. Internal environment
Family history will also affect the internal environment of IVF. If there are some diseases in the family, such as diabetes, hypertension, etc., these diseases may be passed on to offspring, thus affecting the embryonic development environment of IVF.
The poor internal environment may lead to the decline of embryo quality, increase the risk of embryo implantation failure and spontaneous abortion, and thus affect the success rate of IVF. Therefore, the internal environment problems in the family history need to be paid attention to and actively managed.
3. Psychological influence
Diseases in the family history may have a negative impact on the couple's psychological status. If the elders or relatives of the couple have ever suffered from serious diseases or misfortunes, the couple will bear the psychological pressure brought by the family diseases, resulting in anxiety and depression.
Psychological instability will affect the success rate of IVF. On the one hand, anxiety and depression may lead to excessive psychological burden on couples and lack of active participation and cooperation in the IVF process; On the other hand, psychological pressure will affect the normal function of the endocrine system, interfere with the balance of hormone levels, and then affect the quality of eggs and embryonic development.
4. Treatment scheme selection
Family medical history also has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF, which is reflected in the choice of treatment scheme. According to different family history, the hospital will choose different assisted reproductive technologies and treatment programs.
For example, if there are repeated cases of embryo implantation failure or early abortion in the family, doctors may choose the gene detection technology of gametes or embryos to screen out abnormal embryos or gametes and improve the success rate of IVF.
summary
Family history does have an impact on the success rate of IVF. The existence of genetic diseases will increase the risk of genetic diseases in IVF; Bad internal environment may lead to the decline of embryo quality; Psychological pressure will affect the success rate and implementation process of IVF; Family medical history also affects doctors' decisions on treatment options. Therefore, before IVF, couples should actively cooperate with doctors to carry out comprehensive genetic counseling and gene testing, and deal with their psychological state to improve the success rate of IVF.
