Can test tube baby soy milk increase fetal birth weight?
The development of IVF technology has brought good news to many infertile couples. However, the improvement of IVF embryo development quality has always been a focus of attention. It has been suggested that drinking test tube baby soy milk can increase the birth weight of the fetus and improve the quality of embryonic development. This article will discuss this issue in detail from four aspects: the nutritional composition of soy milk, the practical application of test tube baby soy milk, relevant research results and hospital practical experience.
Nutritional composition of soybean milk
Soybean milk is made by soaking, grinding, boiling and other processes of soybeans. It contains rich protein, plant fiber, vitamin B group, minerals and other nutrients. These nutrients play an important role in the development of embryos. Protein is the basic component of embryonic cells. Plant fiber can promote the peristalsis of the digestive tract. Vitamin B group helps the nervous system development of the embryo. Minerals such as calcium and iron are also important for the formation of embryonic skeleton and blood.
However, it should be noted that soybean milk also contains certain anti nutritional factors, such as trypsin inhibitor, phytic acid, etc. These anti nutritional factors may affect the absorption and utilization of some nutrients by the body. Therefore, reasonable drinking amount and collocation are essential.
Practical application of test tube baby soy milk
At present, some IVF hospitals and experts recommend the drinking of IVF soy milk. For example, the director of the nutrition department of the IVF center in a hospital said that they have always recommended that IVF couples drink a certain amount of soy milk before pregnancy, during pregnancy and lactation to supplement the needed nutrients.
In addition, the hospital also developed a special test tube baby soy milk product for the special needs after IVF embryo transfer. The formula of soybean milk is adjusted according to the different stages of embryonic development, so that it is more in line with the nutritional proportion required for embryonic development.
Relevant research results
Some studies have shown that the drinking of IVF soy milk can have a positive impact on the development of embryos. According to the research results of a certain medical university, the birth weight of the fetus of pregnant women who drink test tube baby soy milk is significantly higher than that of pregnant women who do not drink it. In addition, some studies have found that pregnant women who drink soy milk have a lower risk of pregnancy complications, and the growth and development of the fetus is good.
However, it should be emphasized that the above research only draws conclusions from the perspective of observation, which cannot prove that drinking test tube baby soy milk can directly increase the birth weight of the fetus. After all, embryo development is affected by many factors, including the genetic background and living habits of pregnant women in addition to diet.
Hospital practical experience
In the IVF center of a hospital, their practical experience also supports the positive impact of IVF soy milk on embryonic development. The hospital carried out a long-term follow-up observation study, and found that couples who drank test tube baby soy milk had ideal reproductive indicators before and after embryo transfer, such as follicular development, endometrial thickness, etc. At the same time, these embryos also have a higher implantation rate and pregnancy success rate.
In general, IVF soy milk may have a positive impact on the birth weight of the fetus, but this needs more scientific research to support. Therefore, couples should make decisions on the drinking of IVF soy milk based on their own conditions and the advice of professional doctors. Only under the scientific and reasonable premise can we provide better support and guarantee for the healthy development of IVF.
