How to deal with the problem of sperm malformation in IVF
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of transferring the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus after IVF. However, some couples may encounter sperm abnormalities during IVF, which will affect the success rate of pregnancy. In view of this problem, we should deal with it from the following aspects.
Select the right hospital and doctor
First, choose a professional reproductive medical center, so that you can get more professional personalized diagnosis and treatment programs. Some well-known reproductive hospitals in China, such as Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University Ruijin Hospital Reproductive and Genetic Center, have rich experience and advanced technology in the field of IVF. It is also very important to choose an experienced and professional reproductive doctor. They can develop personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients, so as to improve the pregnancy success rate of patients with sperm abnormalities.
Reproductive hospitals usually determine the specific conditions of sperm abnormalities through sperm quality assessment. For example, sperm density, vitality, morphology and other indicators can help doctors judge the quality of sperm, so as to develop a more appropriate treatment plan.
Application of assisted reproductive technology
If the patient's sperm deformity is serious, then the traditional in vitro fertilization may not be effective. At this time, more advanced assisted reproductive technologies can be considered, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and extracellular local sperm injection (PICSI). ICSI can directly inject a single sperm into the egg, thus improving the fertilization rate. PICSI can improve the IVF pregnancy rate of patients suffering from sperm malformation by selecting well developed normal sperm.
At the same time, assisted reproductive technology also includes genetic screening before embryo transfer (PGD/PGS), which can help avoid transferring embryos with serious genetic diseases into the uterus. This technology can improve the success rate of IVF and reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy.
Adjust lifestyle
In addition to medical means, patients with sperm abnormalities can also improve the success rate of pregnancy by adjusting their lifestyle. First of all, patients should maintain good eating habits and eat more foods rich in vitamin E, C, B12 and minerals, such as seafood, vegetables and fruits. Secondly, smoking, drinking and excessive exercise should be avoided, because these factors will adversely affect sperm quality. In addition, patients with sperm abnormalities can also try some traditional Chinese medicine conditioning methods, such as acupuncture and moxibustion, which can promote blood circulation and improve the reproductive system function.
Psychological guidance and support
In the process of IVF, patients often suffer from great physical and psychological pressure. For patients with sperm abnormalities, it is very important to have a positive and optimistic attitude. You can reduce anxiety and pressure and increase confidence through psychological counseling and counseling. In addition, you can join some baby forums or online support groups to communicate with other couples who have experienced similar problems, encourage and support each other.
Summary
In view of the problem of IVF sperm malformation, we can deal with it from the following aspects: selecting appropriate hospitals and doctors, applying assisted reproductive technology, adjusting lifestyle, psychological counseling and support. Through the formulation of comprehensive treatment plan and fine personalized care, patients with sperm abnormalities can increase the chance of successful pregnancy and realize their long awaited dream of a healthy baby.
