Methods to improve the success rate of IVF
IVF technology is an important medical means to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the success rate of IVF is also gradually improving. This article will elaborate on the methods to improve the success rate of IVF from the perspectives of pre pregnancy preparation, optimization of egg retrieval technology, embryo culture and selection, and optimization of implantation environment.
1、 Preparation before pregnancy
1. Healthy diet: good diet habits are essential to improve the success rate of IVF. During pregnancy preparation, couples should maintain a balanced diet and increase the intake of foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as fish, lean meat, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits.
2. Reasonable lifestyle: couples should avoid overwork and excessive mental stress. Research shows that overwork and long-term mental stress will have adverse effects on reproductive system functions and reduce the success rate of IVF. Therefore, couples should maintain good physical and mental health during pregnancy preparation.
3. Disease screening and treatment: couples should conduct a series of disease screening before pregnancy preparation, and actively treat the diseases that affect fertility. For example, women need to ensure that there are no serious structural abnormalities or tumors in the uterus, and men need to check whether the semen quality is normal.
2、 Optimization of egg retrieval technology
1. Develop a personalized egg retrieval program: doctors can develop a personalized egg retrieval program to improve the quality and quantity of eggs according to women's age, ovarian reserve, physical condition and other factors. Personalized programs include giving appropriate ovulation promoting drugs and the best time for treatment.
2. Use mature egg retrieval technology: the success rate of IVF is closely related to the process of egg retrieval. By selecting mature egg retrieval technology, such as fine needle egg retrieval technology, we can minimize the trauma to the ovary and improve the success rate of egg retrieval.
3. Egg retrieval scheme for elderly women: For older women, assisted measures such as ovarian stimulators and ovarian pretreatment can be taken to improve the success rate of egg retrieval due to possible difficulties in egg retrieval due to decreased ovarian function.
3、 Embryo culture and selection
1. Optimize the embryo culture environment: In the process of in vitro culture, embryos need to provide a stable culture environment to increase the chances of survival and division. The hospital should be equipped with advanced incubators and culture media to ensure that embryos develop in a suitable environment.
2. Select the best embryo according to the embryo quality: By evaluating the embryo appearance, cell division, genetic characteristics and other indicators, doctors can select high-quality embryos for implantation to improve the success rate of IVF.
3. Use of PGS and PGD technology: The use of gene screening technology (PGS) and single gene disease diagnosis technology (PGD) can help identify embryos without genetic diseases, and screen out embryos with chromosomal abnormalities to improve the success rate of IVF.
4、 Optimization of implantation environment
1. Endometrial preparation: In order to increase the chances of embryo implantation, women need to prepare the endometrium by using estrogen, progesterone and other drugs to create a suitable implantation environment.
2. Guiding and positioning technology: Through guiding and positioning technology, embryos can be accurately placed into the endometrium to improve the success rate of embryo implantation.
3. Provide the right time for transplantation: The hospital can select the best time for transplantation according to the development of embryos and the status of endometrium to improve the implantation rate of IVF.
Summary
The success rate of IVF can be significantly improved through efforts in preparation before pregnancy, optimization of egg retrieval technology, embryo culture and selection, and optimization of implantation environment. However, each couple's situation is unique, so it is crucial to choose the appropriate hospital and professional doctors for diagnosis and treatment. The success of IVF can be achieved to the greatest extent only when individual characteristics are comprehensively considered and personalized treatment plans are formulated.
