Restrictions on IVF
Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology in modern medicine, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations. However, not everyone is suitable for IVF, and certain restrictions need to be met. The following details the restrictions of IVF from four aspects: age, physical health, mental state and economic conditions.
Age limit
First of all, the age limit of IVF is very important. The age of women has a great influence on the success rate of IVF. Generally speaking, women under 35 years old have better egg quality and higher success rate of IVF. As women grow older, the number and quality of their eggs will decline, often requiring more attempts to succeed. For men, age is not the decisive factor. As long as the sperm quality is normal, age will not become the limiting condition for IVF.
Secondly, IVF also has certain restrictions on women's reproductive age. After menopause, the ovarian function of women will gradually decline, and the number and quality of eggs will decrease, which will limit the success rate of IVF. Therefore, the reproductive age of women is also an important restriction for whether it is suitable for IVF.
In addition, the age limit of IVF also relates to the number of women of childbearing age. In some countries, in order to control the number of births, the use of IVF technology among women of childbearing age is limited. Therefore, in these countries, if women of childbearing age have successfully given birth once through IVF technology, it usually takes a certain time to reuse the technology.
Physical health restrictions
In addition to the age limit, IVF also has certain requirements for patients' health. Patients need to be healthy, without some serious gynecological diseases or other serious diseases. For example, if the patient has severe uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis and other diseases, the success rate of IVF may be affected. In addition, patients need to undergo physical examination to ensure that their physical condition is suitable for IVF.
In addition, the patient's weight is also an important physical health constraint. Overweight or underweight will affect the success rate of IVF. When overweight, it may have adverse effects on the endocrine system of patients, leading to endocrine disorder; If it is too light, it may affect the ovarian function of the patient. Therefore, the weight of patients within a certain range limits the success rate of IVF.
Mental state limitation
The process of IVF is relatively long and complex, which requires patients to have certain patience and emotional stability. Therefore, mental state is also a limiting condition for IVF. If the patient suffers from serious mental illness, it may affect the patient's therapeutic cooperation and emotional regulation ability, thus affecting the success rate of IVF. Before IVF, patients need to undergo psychological assessment to ensure that their mental state is suitable for IVF.
Economic conditions
Finally, IVF also has certain requirements for patients' economic conditions. IVF is an expensive medical technology, which requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. All links from infant care, medical expenses to surgery expenses need certain economic support. Therefore, having certain economic strength is an important limiting condition for IVF.
Summary
To sum up, when choosing IVF, we need to consider many restrictions. Age, physical health, mental status and economic conditions all have an important impact on the success rate of IVF. Reasonably evaluating these restrictions and selecting the appropriate time and hospital are crucial to realizing the dream of IVF.
