Which couples are suitable for the first generation of IVF?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons realize their reproductive dreams. However, not every couple is suitable for IVF first generation technology, which needs to be based on medical judgment and personal assessment of the couple. The suitable couples for the first generation of IVF are discussed one by one from four aspects: age, physical health, genetic disease risk and economic strength.
Age
Age is one of the important factors that affect the success rate of IVF. The reproductive function of women has a certain decline trend in age, especially for women over 35 years old, the quality and quantity of their eggs will gradually decrease. Therefore, older couples are one of the suitable candidates for IVF.
However, age is not the only determinant. The doctor will also consider the thickness and quality of female endometrium, the quality and quantity of male sperm, and the comprehensive physical condition of the couple. Only under the guidance of doctors, older couples can choose to carry out the first generation IVF technology.
Physical health
When choosing the first generation technology of IVF, the physical health of the couple is also an important consideration. Couples should pass comprehensive physical examination, including but not limited to the functional evaluation of reproductive system, endocrine system, heart, lung, liver, kidney and other organs. Only healthy couples can carry out IVF to ensure the safety and success of treatment.
Before IVF treatment, doctors will also encourage couples to make lifestyle adjustments, such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, eating a balanced diet, and maintaining moderate exercise. These healthy habits can improve the success rate of IVF.
Genetic disease risk
Some couples may be at risk of genetic diseases. They hope to screen embryos carrying harmful genes through IVF technology. In this case, the first generation IVF technology is a suitable choice.
Through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology, couples can screen healthy embryos without genetic disease genes. This technology can effectively reduce the risk of genetic diseases to the next generation and improve the success rate of IVF.
economic strength
IVF is a high medical cost, so the economic strength of the couple is also one of the factors that determine whether it is suitable for IVF.
The whole process of IVF requires multiple examinations, treatments and monitoring, involving drug costs, medical equipment costs, medical staff costs, etc. In addition, IVF surgery may require multiple attempts, further increasing the economic burden.
Therefore, only couples with certain economic strength can choose to carry out IVF to ensure the smooth progress of treatment.
summary
The first generation of IVF technology is suitable for couples who are older, physically healthy, at risk of genetic diseases and have financial strength. Age is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF, but it is not the only determinant. The couple's physical health status and genetic disease risk also need to be considered. At the same time, IVF is also a medical technology with a large economic burden. Only couples with certain economic strength can choose to carry out IVF. Therefore, when considering IVF treatment, couples need to conduct comprehensive consultation and evaluation with doctors to determine whether IVF first generation technology is suitable.
