Who is the fifth generation of IVF suitable for?
IVF, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), is an assisted reproductive technology that combines eggs and sperm in vitro to form an embryo, and then transfers the embryo to the mother's uterus for development. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the IVF technology is also constantly updated and iterated. The fifth generation IVF technology is more mature and safe than before, so it is suitable for more people. The following will elaborate on the population suitable for the fifth generation of IVF from four aspects.
1、 Infertile couple
The core application of IVF technology is to help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. Infertile couples include two situations: female infertility and male infertility. For female infertility, it may be due to factors such as abnormal uterine development and hydrosalpinx that hinder the successful pregnancy of eggs; Male infertility may be caused by sperm quantity, mobility and other problems. In either case, the fifth generation IVF technology can provide effective solutions to help infertile couples obtain healthy babies through the precise fertilization process in the laboratory.
In addition, the fifth generation IVF technology can also help couples who have lost their fertility due to abnormal reproductive organs. For example, women cannot conceive naturally because of the influence of hysterectomy. By transferring the fertilized embryos into the donor's uterus, IVF technology gives these infertile couples a chance to become parents again.
2、 Carriers of genetic diseases
Many couples carry a genetic disease gene, which will be passed on to their children if they bear naturally. The fifth generation IVF technology can detect the risk of carrying children's genetic diseases in advance through PGD (embryonic genetic diagnosis) screening. If risks are found, normal embryos can be selected for transplantation to avoid passing on genetic diseases to children. This is a feasible and safe choice for couples with genetic disease carriers.
3、 Older women
With the growth of women's age, the quality and quantity of eggs will gradually decrease, leading to difficulties in pregnancy. Especially for women over 35 years old, the decline of egg quality is more obvious. The fifth generation IVF technology can collect female eggs, combine sperm in vitro, form embryos, and transfer embryos to the uterus for development. Older women have more opportunities to successfully conceive and give birth through IVF technology.
4、 Fallopian tube problems
The fallopian tube is an important part of the female reproductive process, responsible for combining the ovulated eggs with sperm to form an embryo. However, some women may not be able to successfully fertilize their eggs through the fallopian tube due to fallopian tube factors. For these women, IVF technology can bypass the fallopian tube, transfer the fertilized egg directly to the uterus for development, and solve the infertility caused by fallopian tube problems.
In conclusion, the fifth generation IVF technology is suitable for infertile couples, carriers of genetic diseases, older women and infertility caused by fallopian tube problems. For these people, IVF technology provides a feasible and safe way to give birth and help them realize their dream of becoming parents.
