Success and failure factors of IVF
IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, IVF is not 100% successful, and the success rate is affected by many factors. This article will elaborate on the success and failure factors of IVF from four aspects: treatment plan, age factor, physical condition and hospital selection.
1. Treatment plan
The choice of treatment scheme for IVF has a great influence on the success rate. Before choosing a suitable treatment plan, the doctor will make a comprehensive assessment according to the specific conditions of the couple, including the ovarian function of the woman, the sperm quality of the man, etc. According to the evaluation results, develop personalized treatment plan.
First, decide whether to use autologous eggs or donated eggs. If the woman's ovary function is normal, autologous eggs can be used; If ovarian function declines or autoovulation is not possible, donor eggs can be considered. Choosing a suitable egg source is the basis for success.
Secondly, we should decide whether to use in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). IVF is to fertilize the egg and sperm in a culture dish, while ICSI is to inject a single sperm into the egg. If the sperm quality is good, you can try IVF, otherwise ICSI may achieve better results.
Finally, decide whether to carry out embryonic gene testing. Embryo gene testing can screen chromosome abnormalities and other problems, and improve the success rate of embryo implantation. However, embryo genetic testing may increase the cost and processing time of IVF.
2. Age factor
Female age is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. The reproductive capacity of women decreases with age, and the quality and quantity of eggs decrease, which increases the difficulty of pregnancy and embryo implantation.
Generally speaking, the success rate of IVF for women aged 30 and below is higher. With the growth of age, women's ovarian function gradually declines, and the success rate will gradually decrease. Therefore, it is recommended that women should receive IVF treatment as early as possible before the age of 35 to improve the success rate.
In addition, the age of men may also affect the success rate of IVF. With the growth of age, the quality of male sperm may decline, thus affecting the quality of fertilization and embryo.
3. Physical condition
The physical condition of couples also has a certain impact on the success and failure of IVF. Suffering from some chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, may affect women's ovarian function and uterine environment, thus reducing the success rate of pregnancy and embryo implantation.
In addition, physical obesity or obesity will also have a certain impact on the success of IVF. Obesity may lead to hormone disorder, abnormal ovarian function, reduce the quality and quantity of eggs, and increase the risk of miscarriage. On the contrary, excessive emaciation may also affect ovarian function and reduce the success rate of pregnancy.
4. Hospital selection
Hospital selection is one of the keys to success and failure of IVF. Choosing a regular and experienced hospital can provide better diagnosis and treatment technology and services and improve the success rate.
Regular hospitals should have advanced equipment and technology, and a large number of IVF case experience. The expert team of the hospital should have relevant professional knowledge and rich experience, and be able to develop personalized treatment plans according to the actual situation of the couple.
In addition, understanding the hospital report and patient evaluation is also an important reference for selecting hospitals. When choosing a hospital, you can learn about the strength and reputation of the hospital by consulting doctors, consulting relevant information and communicating with patients who have received treatment.
summary
The success or failure of IVF depends on many factors. In the choice of treatment scheme, personalized scheme can improve the success rate. Age has an impact on both women and men. It is recommended that treatment be carried out at an appropriate age. The physical condition of couples may also affect the success rate of IVF, and they should maintain good physical condition. Finally, choosing a regular and experienced hospital can provide better treatment effect. By taking these factors into consideration, couples can improve the success rate of IVF and realize their reproductive dreams.
