What conditions does IVF need in China?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is used to deal with some infertility problems. In China, IVF needs to meet a series of conditions, including the qualification of medical institutions, the age and health status of patients. The following details the conditions required for IVF in China from four aspects.
Qualification of medical institutions
First, medical institutions with legal qualifications should be selected for IVF in China. At present, there are many public and private hospitals providing IVF services in China, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, etc. These hospitals usually have specialized reproductive medicine centers or departments, with first-class equipment and professional medical teams.
Secondly, medical institutions need to have perfect laboratory facilities and technical strength. In vitro fertilization, embryo culture, embryo transfer and other operations are required in the process of IVF, so high-quality laboratory environment and skilled technicians are required. The laboratory facilities of the hospital should meet the national standards to ensure the healthy development of embryos.
In addition, medical institutions should also have good medical reputation and rich clinical experience. Patients can select medical institutions with high success rate and reputation by consulting the public data of relevant hospitals, understanding the history of the hospital and the background of the expert team.
Patient's age and health
The age of the patient is one of the important factors for IVF. Generally speaking, when women are younger than 35 years old, the success rate is higher, and when they are older than 35 years old, the success rate will gradually decrease. Therefore, for female patients over 35 years old, doctors may need to conduct more detailed physical examination and evaluation to determine whether it is suitable for IVF.
In addition, patients also need to have certain health conditions. For female patients, a detailed gynecological examination is required, including the evaluation of uterine morphology, ovarian function, etc. For male patients, semen analysis is needed to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. If the patient has other serious underlying disease or genetic history, additional assessment and consultation may be required.
Mental health
The IVF process is a psychological and physiological challenge for both husband and wife. Therefore, before IVF, patients need to maintain a good psychological state. Some medical institutions will require patients to have psychological counseling or participate in psychological counseling to help them cope with the pressure and emotional changes of infertility.
In addition, both husband and wife need to fully communicate and understand, and jointly decide whether to carry out IVF. They should understand the risk and success rate of the whole process, and clarify their expectations and limitations. This can enhance the support and cooperation between couples and improve the success rate of IVF.
economic condition
Test tube baby is a relatively expensive treatment, and patients need to have certain economic conditions. The cost includes medical examination fee, operation fee, drug fee, etc. The whole process may take a long time and multiple treatments. Therefore, patients should budget for expenses in advance and know whether they can enjoy the medical insurance policies of public hospitals or other cost relief measures.
In conclusion, IVF in China needs to meet the qualification requirements of medical institutions, the age and health status of patients, mental health status and economic conditions. Only suitable medical institutions, healthy patients of the right age, stable psychological status and sufficient financial support can IVF be carried out successfully. It is hoped that the elaboration of these conditions can help families in need to have a clearer understanding of IVF.
