How high is the success rate of IVF?
IVF is a method to help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve pregnancy through assisted reproductive technology. As a more and more common choice, the success rate of IVF has attracted much attention. But how high is the success rate of IVF? This issue will be discussed from different perspectives.
Hospital selection
The success rate of IVF is closely related to the selected hospital. Different hospitals have different technical strength and professional level. The first-class IVF hospitals usually have advanced equipment and experienced expert teams, and their success rate is naturally high. For example, the Boston Fertility Center affiliated to Harvard Medical School is considered to be one of the top IVF centers worldwide, with excellent technology and success rate. In addition, some famous domestic hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the First People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine also have a high success rate. Therefore, selecting a well-known professional hospital will effectively improve the success rate of IVF.
However, it should be noted that the success rate of hospitals is not the only determinant. The success rate will also be affected by the individual's physical condition, age and genetic status of pregnancy preparation.
Age
The age of women is one of the important factors that affect the success rate of IVF. According to medical research, women's fertility gradually decreases with age. Especially for women over 35 years old, their ovarian function may begin to decline and the quality of eggs may decline, which will lead to difficulties in pregnancy. Therefore, the older you are, the lower the success rate of IVF. According to statistics, the success rate of women under 35 years old is about 40%, while that of women over 35 years old is about 20%.
Weight and physical health
Weight and physical health will also affect the success rate of IVF. The study found that the success rate of IVF was lower in obese and lean women than in normal weight women. This is because overweight or underweight will lead to abnormal hormone levels, affecting the quality of eggs and fertilization process. In addition, the success rate of IVF for women with serious chronic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease is relatively low.
Auxiliary technology and treatment process
The success rate of IVF is also related to the assistive technology and treatment process used. Different assistive technologies include in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and embryo screening. Clinical experience shows that the success rate of IVF is high in assisted technology. In the process of embryo transfer, the quality and quantity of embryos will also affect the success rate. In addition, embryo screening technology can help select the healthiest embryos to improve the success rate of IVF.
In conclusion, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors. Hospital selection, age, weight, health status, assistive technology and treatment process are all important factors affecting the success rate. Choosing a well-known professional hospital, paying attention to personal physical condition, age and genetic status of pregnancy preparation, and following the guidance and suggestions of experts will effectively improve the success rate of IVF.
In a word, although the success rate of IVF depends on many factors, under the right conditions, the success rate can be quite high. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and the improvement of medical level, the success rate of IVF is expected to further improve.
