Concept of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, also known as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), which refers to the process of artificial fertilization of female eggs and male sperm in the laboratory, and then transplanting well developed embryos into the female uterus to achieve pregnancy and fertility. The development of IVF technology has provided an expectation for infertile couples. It is through IVF technology that Michelle Reis realized her fertility desire.
The process of IVF
The process of IVF technology mainly includes the following steps:
First, women receive drug treatment to promote ovarian ovulation, and the growth of follicles is monitored by ultrasound technology.
Next, mature eggs are obtained from the female body through minor surgery. After the eggs are obtained, they are fertilized in vitro with male sperm in the laboratory, or if the male suffers from severe infertility, they can be donated by eggs or sperm.
In the laboratory, professional technicians will cultivate and classify the fertilized eggs to select the most promising embryos. Usually, they will breed for 2-5 days, and then select the best embryo for transfer.
Finally, the well developed embryo is transported to the female uterus through the cervical or uterine cavity catheter to achieve pregnancy. The remaining embryos can be frozen for future use.
Indications of IVF technology
The technical indications of IVF may vary slightly in different countries and hospitals, but usually include the following situations:
1. Male infertility: male suffers from problems in the quantity, vitality or quality of sperm, and is unable to conceive naturally.
2. Female infertility: women cannot conceive naturally due to obstructive fallopian tube, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and other reasons.
3. Elderly infertility: women are too old, which leads to the decline of egg quality and reduces the chance of natural pregnancy.
4. Macroscopic chromosomal abnormalities: couples with chromosomal abnormalities, in order to avoid passing on the disease to their offspring, carry out embryonic gene screening through test tube baby technology.
Li Jiaxin's IVF Hospital
Michelle Reis is a famous actress in Hong Kong. She realized her desire to have children through IVF technology. It is reported that Li Jiaxin chose a private hospital in Hong Kong for IVF treatment. The hospital has advanced assisted reproductive technology equipment and professional medical team to provide comprehensive assisted reproductive services for patients.
Summary
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. The technology includes ovarian stimulation, egg collection, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation. Indications mainly include male infertility, female infertility, elderly infertility and macro chromosome abnormalities. Michelle Reis successfully realized her wish to have a baby by choosing a private hospital in Hong Kong for IVF treatment.
