How likely is IVF to succeed?
Since the development of IVF technology in the 1970s, millions of couples have realized their parent-child dreams. However, for many people, this process is still full of uncertainties and puzzles. What is the success probability of IVF? We will elaborate on this issue from many aspects.
1. The influence of age on the probability of success
Female age has a significant impact on the success rate of IVF. Generally speaking, women aged 20-35 years old have a high probability of success in IVF, about 30-40%. However, with the growth of age, the quality of eggs begins to decline, leading to a reduction in the probability of success. Women over 40 have only about 10% chance of success. Therefore, young couples can have more confidence in IVF, while older couples need to be more cautious.
In addition, the age of men will also have a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. Older men may lead to decreased sperm quality, thus affecting the probability of successful pregnancy.
2. Influence of weight on success rate
Women's weight also has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. Studies have found that women who are underweight or overweight will affect the quality of eggs and the development of endometrium, thus reducing the success rate of IVF. Therefore, maintaining proper weight is very important for the success of IVF.
In addition, men's weight and living habits may also affect sperm quality, thus affecting the success rate of IVF. Therefore, both husband and wife should maintain a good lifestyle, including healthy diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction.
3. Success probability of different hospitals
The success rate of IVF is closely related to the professional level and equipment technology of the hospital. The first-class IVF hospitals usually have advanced equipment and experienced medical teams, so the probability of success is relatively high. For example, the success rate of IVF in Peking Union Medical College Hospital is more than 50%, and the success rate of Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is about 40%.
Couples should conduct a comprehensive investigation and evaluation when choosing IVF hospitals, and select hospitals with good reputation and professional strength to improve the success rate of IVF.
4. Influence of different individual conditions
In addition to age, weight, hospital and other factors, the success rate of IVF is also affected by the individual conditions of the couple. For example, whether women suffer from ovarian dysfunction, uterine malformation, endometriosis and other diseases will affect the success rate of IVF. Similarly, whether men suffer from abnormal sperm quality, semen abnormalities or genetic diseases will also affect the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, before IVF, couples should have a comprehensive physical examination to understand their own conditions and deal with them accordingly according to the doctor's suggestions, so as to improve the success rate of IVF.
Summary
To sum up, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including age, weight, hospital professional level and individual conditions. Young couples have a higher probability of success in IVF in the appropriate hospital, while older couples with abnormal weight or complex individual conditions should carefully consider and choose the appropriate hospital and medical team for treatment. In any case, both parties should maintain a good lifestyle and mentality, actively face the process of IVF, and make efforts to realize the parent-child dream.
