Can we do IVF after ligation?
Ligation is a surgical method to avoid pregnancy by removing the male or female vas deferens or fallopian tubes. So, can a person who has been ligated achieve fertility through IVF technology? The following will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.
Basic principles of IVF technology
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can realize the process of pregnancy and delivery by fertilizing male and female germ cells in the laboratory and cultivating embryos, and then implanting the embryos into the female uterus. Test tube baby technology has been widely used in clinical practice, which has solved the birth problems of many infertile couples.
Effect of ligation on women
For women, ligation is to cut off the fallopian tube to block the combination of eggs and sperm, so as to avoid pregnancy. However, salpingectomy will affect the delivery of eggs, making natural pregnancy impossible. However, ligation will not affect women's ovarian function, and their eggs can still be fertilized and implanted through IVF technology.
Therefore, the ligated women can achieve fertility through IVF technology. They can receive relevant treatment in professional institutions such as the University of California Los Angeles Medical Center in the United States and the Hilton Clinic in London in the United Kingdom.
Effect of ligation on men
For men, ligation is to cut off the vas deferens to block the discharge of sperm. Like women, ligation will affect sperm delivery, making natural pregnancy impossible. However, male sperm can be obtained by testicular sperm extraction or direct seminal plasma aspiration.
Therefore, ligated men can also achieve fertility through IVF technology. They can choose to go to Sydney IVF Center in New South Wales, Australia and other relevant institutions for relevant treatment.
Limitations and risks of IVF technology
Although IVF technology provides many infertile couples with opportunities to achieve fertility, it also has certain limitations and risks. First of all, the success rate of IVF technology is not 100%, and sometimes it requires multiple attempts to achieve success. Secondly, complications may occur during IVF, such as multiple pregnancy risk, premature birth risk and congenital malformation risk.
In addition, IVF technology also requires a certain amount of financial resources and energy, which will generate certain psychological pressure on both couples. Therefore, when choosing IVF technology, couples should fully understand the relevant information, fully communicate with doctors, and make decisions after weighing the advantages and disadvantages.
Summary
The ligated male or female can achieve fertility through IVF technology. The female ligation operation only blocks the fallopian tube, and has no effect on ovarian function; The male ligation operation only blocks the vas deferens, and sperm can still be obtained by other means. However, IVF technology is not omnipotent, the success rate is not high, and there are certain risks and limitations. When choosing IVF technology, couples should fully understand relevant information and communicate and make decisions with professional doctors.
