IVF: Who is suitable for IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a colonization technology, which is applicable to many couples who cannot conceive through natural means. However, not everyone is suitable for IVF. The following will discuss who is suitable for IVF from the aspects of age, reproductive health, physical and mental conditions.
Age
Age is an important factor in choosing IVF. Female fertility peaked around the age of 30, and then gradually declined. Therefore, for women, couples under the age of 35 are more suitable for IVF. In this age group, women's egg quality is relatively good, and the success rate of pregnancy is relatively high. However, after the age of over 35, the quality and quantity of female eggs will decrease, thus reducing the success rate of IVF. For older couples, it may take more attempts to succeed.
In addition, the sperm quality of men will decline with age. Therefore, older couples may need to conduct a more detailed fertility assessment to determine whether they are suitable for IVF.
reproductive health
IVF is suitable for couples with many reproductive health problems. For women, common reproductive health problems include fallopian tube blockage, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, etc. These problems will affect the normal fertilization and implantation of eggs, which will lead to difficulties in natural pregnancy. For men, common reproductive health problems include poor sperm quantity and quality, poor sperm motility, etc. These problems will lead to the sperm can not successfully combine with the egg to form an embryo.
In addition, there may be gamete incompatibility between couples, that is, immune infertility. At this time, IVF can solve the problem of infertility by combining high-quality sperm and eggs in the laboratory to form an embryo, and then implanting the embryo into the mother's uterus.
Physical condition
In addition to reproductive health issues, the physical condition of the couple is another consideration for choosing IVF. For women, couples in good health are usually more likely to successfully conceive through IVF. Some chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, may adversely affect the development of embryos and the safety of pregnancy. Therefore, before IVF, couples must undergo a comprehensive physical examination and assessment to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for pregnancy.
In addition, the weight of couples may also affect the success rate of IVF. Too heavy or too light weight will have a negative impact on ovarian function and hormone levels, thereby reducing the success rate of pregnancy. Therefore, couples should try to maintain appropriate weight before choosing IVF.
Mental status
The IVF process has certain requirements on the mental status of couples. The process of IVF usually requires patience and perseverance. Especially for couples who have tried IVF for a long time, they may experience multiple failures, which puts forward higher requirements for psychological quality. Therefore, couples should be fully prepared for psychological pressure and emotional adjustment to cope with possible difficulties and setbacks before deciding to carry out IVF.
To sum up, age, reproductive health, physical and mental conditions are important factors to determine who is suitable for IVF.
