What is the difference between IVF and natural pregnancy
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to solve the problem of infertility. Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF has unique advantages and characteristics. This article will make a detailed comparison between IVF and natural pregnancy in the three hospitals from four aspects: pregnant mother's age, infant health, success rate and medical conditions.
1、 Age of pregnant mother
During natural pregnancy, the age of the pregnant mother has a relatively small impact on pregnancy and successful pregnancy. However, age is an important factor for IVF. Generally speaking, IVF babies in the Third Hospital will be subject to age restrictions, which are generally applicable to women between 30 and 40 years old.
First of all, with the growth of age, the quality of women's eggs will gradually decline. Although women over 40 are still likely to conceive naturally, the quality of eggs will affect fertilization ability and embryo development, increasing the risk of early abortion.
Secondly, age also has a certain impact on women's fertility. IVF babies in the Third Hospital usually choose young and middle-aged women for operation to improve the pregnancy success rate. Therefore, compared with natural pregnancy, young pregnant mothers are more likely to successfully conceive and give birth.
Finally, age also has an impact on the hormonal treatment required by IVF infants. Older pregnant mothers who carry out IVF need to pay more attention to hormone regulation in the treatment process to improve the pregnancy success rate.
2、 Infant health
Naturally conceived babies usually have natural genetic advantages, and their health status is not subject to much intervention. Test tube babies need more attention.
First, babies born through IVF technology may face biological risks. Although the level of modern medicine is quite advanced, every technology has certain risks. Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF embryos can be cultured in vitro, which may lead to increased risks of chromosomal abnormalities, premature delivery, etc.
Secondly, IVF may increase the probability of twin pregnancy. In order to improve the success rate of IVF, doctors may implant multiple fertilized eggs into the uterus. In this way, the possibility of multiple pregnancy is increased. Multiple pregnancy will bring certain risks to the health of both mother and baby.
Finally, the health of IVF infants needs long-term observation. After the birth of the test tube baby, the doctor will continue to pay attention and conduct a comprehensive health assessment of the baby. This close monitoring helps to identify potential problems and provide timely treatment and intervention.
3、 Success rate
Compared with natural pregnancy, the success rate of IVF is relatively high, but it is also affected by many factors.
First, the development of IVF technology has significantly improved the success rate of pregnancy. Through the continuous improvement of key links such as in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, the IVF technology has gradually matured. According to medical research data, the success rate of IVF is usually between 30% and 50%, which is higher than natural pregnancy.
Secondly, individual differences also affect the success rate. Different individual conditions, hormone levels, egg quality and other factors will affect the success rate of IVF. Therefore, even if the IVF technology is used, it cannot guarantee 100% successful pregnancy.
Finally, doctors' experience and technical level also have an important impact on the success rate. For different hospitals and doctors, their experience and technical level are different. Choosing experienced and professional hospitals and doctors can better improve the success rate of IVF.
4、 Medical conditions
The process of natural pregnancy is relatively simple, without medical equipment and technology. Test tube babies need a series of treatment and procedures in the hospital.
First, IVF babies need to undergo relevant physical examinations and examinations. For women, including monitoring follicular development, blood tests, etc; For men, sperm testing may be required. These examinations can help determine the health status of pregnant mothers and fathers, and provide basis for the next treatment.
Secondly, IVF and embryo culture should be carried out in hospital. This requires the help of professional medical equipment and technical means, such as IVF test tubes and incubators. This series of operations can be carried out safely only under the guarantee of the hospital.
Finally, the IVF process usually takes weeks to months. Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF requires more time, patience and medical resources, which also makes its implementation and success face certain challenges.
summary
To sum up, there are some obvious differences between IVF and natural pregnancy. IVF has certain requirements and influences on the age of pregnant mother, infant status, success rate and medical conditions. Therefore, when choosing the birth mode, various factors should be comprehensively considered according to personal conditions and needs to select the most suitable mode. Whether it is natural pregnancy or IVF, the health and happiness of the family is the most important.
