Reasons for rejection of IVF
Since the introduction of IVF technology in the 1970s, it has been helping couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dream of becoming parents. However, not every couple applying for IVF can successfully obtain the support of this technology. The following are some possible reasons for IVF rejection.
1. Age limit
Many hospitals have certain restrictions on age, because age is an important indicator of women's ability to conceive. The quality and quantity of female eggs will decline with the growth of age, making the success rate lower. Some hospitals stipulate that women should be between 35 and 50 years old to apply for IVF. For women over the age of 50, their physiological conditions may no longer be suitable for pregnancy and childbirth, so rejection is very common.
In addition, male age may also be one of the factors for rejection. The quality and quantity of male sperm also decline with age. Some hospitals may require men to be under 50 years old to apply for IVF.
2. Basic health condition
The hospital has certain requirements for the basic health status of couples. For example, if a couple has a serious genetic disease, this may be considered as a risk factor, and hospitals may refuse to provide IVF services. In addition, if one of the couples suffers from serious chronic disease or mental illness, this may also be the reason for rejection.
In addition, the weight of couples may also affect the success rate of IVF. Obesity and overweight may increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, so some hospitals may require couples to maintain an appropriate weight range before IVF.
3. Economic capacity
IVF is an expensive medical technology, which involves many attempts and the cost of various assisted reproductive technologies. Therefore, economic ability is also one of the reasons why some couples are rejected. If couples cannot afford IVF, hospitals may refuse to provide services.
In addition, the medical insurance system in some countries or regions may not cover the cost of IVF, which may also lead to couples being rejected. Under these circumstances, the couple needs to bear all the costs themselves, which is not feasible for some families with financial difficulties.
4. Personal choice and moral considerations
Some hospitals may refuse to provide IVF services based on personal choice and moral considerations. For example, some hospitals may not allow single women or same-sex couples to apply for IVF because they think it does not meet their moral standards.
In addition, some hospitals may impose restrictions on couples who already have children, especially when couples have their own fertility. This is because hospitals have limited resources, and they may be more inclined to help couples who cannot have children by other means.
summary
The reasons for IVF rejection can be considered from many aspects, such as age limit, basic health status, economic ability and personal choice. Whatever the reason, this is a prudent consideration of the hospital to protect the health and interests of patients and infants. Couples should understand these restrictions and requirements before applying for IVF, so as to make appropriate decisions and find appropriate hospitals and doctors.
