1. IVF is not grown in a test tube? The process of IVF is to inject a certain amount of hormones (such as Lishenbauer) into the infertile patient to promote the growth and development of eggs, then surgically remove the mature eggs from the body and place them in a test tube or petri dish with a certain temperature and culture fluid, add the husband’s sperm, fertilize the eggs in vitro, and then The culture fluid is then continuously changed to allow the egg to divide naturally and develop into an early embryo, which is then transferred to the uterus where it can implant and develop into a fetus. After a few months of normal gestation, a healthy baby is born. Therefore, people vividly call it “IVF”. 2. When is IVF necessary or possible? A baby begins with the union of sperm and egg through the fallopian tube to form a fertilized egg, which gradually develops and “settles” in the mother’s uterus, and then is delivered after an October gestation. Problems with any one of these processes can lead to infertility. For tubal problems such as inflammation and obstruction, endometriosis, and poor sperm quality such as oligospermia, weak sperm, and malformed sperm, the possibility of natural pregnancy is very low, and the help of IVF technology is likely to be needed for these patients, so they need to seek early medical treatment. 3. What is the success rate of IVF? In the early days, the success rate of IVF technology was low, below 10%, but with the progress of science, the technology has become increasingly mature and the success rate has been increasing. The success rate in China has remained above 50% in recent years, with a success rate of over 60% in younger patients (<35 years old). This success rate does not mean that only 50 out of 100 couples undergoing IVF will be successful, but that 50 out of 100 transplants may be successful, which is much higher than the chance of conceiving in a normal couple in the same room. The average chance of conception for normal couples who have intercourse is about 5-6 ovulation cycles, which is about 20%. Therefore, for couples who have not been pregnant for many years, it is recommended that they should visit a regular hospital as soon as possible to get the right treatment as soon as possible, so that they can realize their wish sooner. 4.What is the cost of IVF? The cost of IVF in regular hospitals mainly includes three parts: pre-operative examination, medicine and surgery (egg retrieval, embryo culture, embryo transfer, embryo freezing fee, etc.), which is about 30,000 RMB in total. In addition, generally multiple eggs can be obtained at one egg retrieval and multiple embryos can be formed. If possible, the remaining embryos can be frozen and if the first transfer is unsuccessful, frozen embryo transfer can be performed, and the cost of one frozen embryo transfer is only about 3 to 4 thousand dollars, and the success rate can reach more than 50%. 5. Are the babies born through IVF healthy? In fact, after more than 30 years of development, 4 million IVF babies have been born all over the world, and the early IVF babies have also given birth to their own normal babies, and some larger-scale medical follow-up surveys and studies have confirmed that the babies born through "IVF" technology are not significantly different from those born through natural conception in terms of birth defects and subsequent There is no significant difference in birth defects and subsequent mental development between babies born through IVF and those born naturally. Families who wish to undergo IVF can therefore rest assured. In addition, on October 4, 2010, the father of IVF, British physiologist Robert Edward, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which proves the scientific nature of IVF technology and its importance to all of us. 6. Does the IVF technique affect the mother? The IVF technique requires the use of drugs that promote the growth and maturation of follicles (e.g. Lysine) and the removal of a large number of eggs from the mother's ovaries. In fact, these drugs have been used worldwide for more than 30 years and no serious toxic side effects have been reported so far; while many follicles can develop in a normal menstrual cycle, eventually only one follicle grows up and matures, while the others end up in atresia - death. The IVF technique of ovulation promotion only allows these "dead" eggs to grow and mature, so it is currently believed that egg retrieval does not have any significant effect on ovarian function, and its long-term effects are still under observation, but there are no clear serious adverse effects.
