Applicability of IVF for ligation
IVF technology is a medical technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization. However, for some couples, they may not want to become pregnant again, so consider performing ligation surgery (tubal ligation or vas deferens ligation). This article will discuss the applicability of IVF to ligation pregnancy from four aspects: infant health, medical expenses, surgical risks and couples' feelings.
Health factors
For couples who wish to undergo ligation, they may have one or more children and no longer wish to become pregnant again. In this case, IVF technology can meet their needs. The sperm and eggs used by IVF are strictly screened and tested to ensure their good health. In addition, if the embryos of test tube babies are cultured in the laboratory, their growth environment can be monitored and optimized, thus improving the healthy birth probability of babies.
However, the health of infants is not only dependent on IVF technology itself, but also related to maternal care during pregnancy and additional medical care after embryo transfer. Therefore, no matter whether ligation is performed or not, couples should seek professional medical advice to ensure the health of infants and mothers during pregnancy.
medical expense
Couples may think that ligation is a long-term economic saving because they no longer need to buy contraceptives or other contraceptives. However, compared with IVF technology, the cost of ligation is much lower. IVF technology involves multiple medical examinations, drug treatment and laboratory surgery, and the cost is relatively high. In addition, the success rate of IVF technology is not guaranteed to be 100%, and couples may need to try many times, increasing the financial burden.
Therefore, for those couples who cannot afford high costs or are unwilling to take risks, ligation may be a more economical and feasible option.
Surgical risk
Tubal ligation and vas deferens ligation are common surgical methods, which can permanently block the passage of sperm and eggs, thus avoiding pregnancy. These operations are usually safe, but there are still some risks, such as infection, bleeding or failure of the operation. Moreover, once these operations are performed, they are usually irreversible.
Compared with ligation, IVF technology is a non-invasive choice for couples, which does not require surgery. However, IVF technology also has some surgery related risks, such as overweight ovarian stimulation syndrome, multiple pregnancy risk, etc.
Therefore, when choosing a suitable fertility method, couples should have a deep understanding of and weigh the risks of surgery.
Couple's feelings
Ligation is a permanent decision that may have a profound impact on the couple's psychology and emotions. Some couples may feel anxious, painful or regretful, especially when their family situation changes. Therefore, IVF technology may be more flexible and attractive for couples who are not sure whether they want to become pregnant again.
IVF technology can provide couples with more choices and control. They can choose when to conceive, choose embryo screening and choose a birth date more suitable for them. This flexibility can provide more satisfaction and security for couples.
summary
Ligation and IVF technology are considered by some couples as fertility methods. No matter which method couples choose, they should make decisions according to their own needs and circumstances. From the four aspects of health factors, medical expenses, surgical risks and couples' feelings, IVF technology seems to be more suitable for those couples who do not want to become pregnant again but still want to have children. Most importantly, before making a decision, couples should consult a professional doctor for personalized advice and support.
