The improvement of new technology in the success rate of IVF
Since the first successful birth of IVF technology in 1978, it has always been the dream of infertile couples. In recent years, with the rapid development of medical technology, a series of new technologies have been applied to the process of IVF, greatly improving the success rate. This article will elaborate on the promotion of new technologies to the success rate of IVF from four aspects: embryo screening, frozen embryos, implantation technology and auxiliary olfaction.
1. Embryo screening
Embryo screening technology is one of the keys to improve the success rate of IVF. Early IVF technology can only implant multiple fertilized eggs into the uterus at the same time, which increases the risk of multiple pregnancies. Now, through gene testing and embryo culture technology, doctors can screen the healthiest embryos, reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, and increase the possibility of success of IVF. For example, a certain hospital has introduced PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) technology to predict the developmental potential of embryos and the risk of genetic diseases by detecting the number and structure of chromosomes in embryonic cells, which has improved the success rate of IVF.
In addition, new technologies can also help doctors choose gender and meet the family's fertility expectations. For example, a certain hospital has introduced PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) technology, which can conduct gender screening in the embryo culture stage, and finally select embryos that meet expectations and implant them into the uterus, creating an ideal family for couples.
2. Frozen embryo
The introduction of frozen embryo technology has also significantly improved the success rate of IVF. In the process of IVF, doctors usually cultivate multiple fertilized eggs to the blastocyst stage, select one or several embryos with the most development potential for implantation, and the remaining embryos can be stored by freezing.
Frozen embryos not only reduce the psychological and physiological pressure during a test tube baby, but also reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies to some extent. Doctors can choose the right time for embryo implantation at the right time according to the patient's physical condition and economic ability, so as to improve the success rate of pregnancy. In a certain hospital, frozen embryo technology has been successfully applied to many test tube babies, and has achieved good results.
3. Implantation technology
Implantation technology also plays an important role in improving the success rate of IVF. The traditional IVF technology is to implant embryos into the uterus through intrauterine operation. The new technology can accurately implant embryos into the endometrium through auxiliary devices such as guide needles and catheters, improving the embryo implantation rate and pregnancy success rate.
For example, a certain hospital has introduced transvaginal implantation technology to accurately implant embryos into the endometrium through transvaginal ultrasound guidance. Compared with traditional laparoscopic surgery, transvaginal implantation technology is not only less traumatic, but also faster to recover, with higher accuracy and success rate, which brings new hope for IVF.
4. Auxiliary olfaction
In recent years, as a new technology, assisted olfaction technology has been applied to IVF, which has also had a positive impact on the success rate. The auxiliary olfactory technology can help doctors to identify the status of female endometrium and select the best implantation time through the analysis of volatile components of samples.
Specifically, a certain hospital combined the auxiliary olfaction technology with the IVF technology, and extracted and analyzed endometrial samples through transvaginal ultrasound guided surgery. Assisted olfaction technology can not only help doctors understand the odor and bacterial infection of endometrium, but also predict the implantation conditions of endometrium, thus improving the success rate of IVF.
Summary
New technologies play a crucial role in the success rate of IVF. Embryo screening technology can select healthy embryos and reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy; Frozen embryo technology can choose the best time for embryo implantation; Implantation technology can improve embryo implantation rate; Assisted olfactory technology can help doctors understand the state of endometrium.
In conclusion, with the continuous development and application of new technologies, the success rate of IVF is expected to further improve, bringing more benefits to infertile couples.
