Why does IVF technology become an important option for users to choose fertility?
IVF technology, or assisted reproductive technology (ART), is a method of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and blastocyst transfer to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological or reproductive problems achieve their reproductive aspirations. IVF technology has become the choice of more and more couples for the following reasons.
1. Solve the problem of infertility
IVF technology provides an effective way to solve the problem of infertility for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons. Some women may have fallopian tube obstruction, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other diseases, while men may have low sperm quality or insufficient quantity and other problems. Test tube baby technology breaks through the barrier of infertility by combining female eggs with male sperm in the laboratory, cultivating qualified embryos and then transplanting them into female uterus.
In addition, IVF technology also provides opportunities for older women to have children. The number and quality of women's eggs decline with age, which increases the difficulty of natural pregnancy. With IVF technology, women can use eggs collected at a younger age or from donors to improve their chances of successful pregnancy.
2. Screening and selection of genetic diseases
IVF technology can also reduce or avoid the transmission of genetic diseases through screening and selection of genetic diseases. Couples can conduct gene testing on embryos before embryo transfer, exclude embryos carrying genetic disease genes, and choose healthy embryo transfer. This can effectively reduce the risk of genetic diseases in the next generation and improve the health of children.
For example, in some countries, couples can choose their gender through IVF technology. This can prevent some hereditary diseases, such as hemophilia, which can only be inherited by men, from being passed on to the next generation.
3. Adjust the birth opportunity
IVF technology can help couples adjust the time of childbirth to meet their life and work needs. Due to work pressure and other reasons, many couples may not be able to follow the rhythm of natural birth planning. IVF technology can select the right time for egg collection, fertilization and embryo transfer according to the needs of couples, so that they can meet the arrival of new members at the most appropriate time.
In addition, IVF technology can also help couples who want to delay childbirth. The quality and quantity of female eggs will decline with age, and the difficulty of natural pregnancy will also increase. By freezing eggs, women can freeze eggs when they are young and wait until they are ready to have a baby, so as to improve the chance of successful pregnancy.
4. Self satisfaction and family integrity
For some couples who are unable to conceive naturally, IVF technology can meet their reproductive aspirations, allow them to have their own children, and achieve a sense of family integrity and self satisfaction. For those couples who have always wanted to have children but could not do so due to physical reasons, IVF technology provides them with an important choice to enjoy the happiness of growing up with children.
Summary
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has become the reproductive choice of more and more couples. Its importance is reflected in solving the problem of infertility, screening and selection of genetic diseases, adjusting the timing of childbirth, and meeting the self satisfaction and family integrity of couples. Through IVF technology, couples can overcome physiological barriers, reduce or avoid the transmission of genetic diseases, adjust the birth time according to their own needs and plans, and realize their desire to have their own children.
