IVF egg retrieval is a very important step in the whole IVF process, in this process, the number of eggs retrieved (the number of eggs) is an important factor, which is directly related to the success rate of IVF. Sometimes, some patients may face the problem of a low number of egg retrievals, so what is the reason for the low number of egg retrievals in IVF?This article will take you to find out.
First of all, a common cause is a woman's insufficient ovarian reserve. Ovarian reserve refers to the quantity and quality of a woman's eggs. Age is a major factor in the decline of ovarian reserve, and the quality and quantity of eggs decreases as women age. Women over the age of 35, especially over the age of 40, generally have a low ovarian reserve, so the number of egg retrievals will also decrease accordingly. In addition, some diseases and**, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian tumors, as well as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., can also have an impact on ovarian reserve, resulting in a low number of egg retrievals.
Secondly, a decrease in high basal embryonic progesterone (AMH) levels may also be one of the reasons for the low number of egg retrievals. AMH is an important indicator of ovarian reserve, which reflects the quantity and quality of eggs. If a woman's AMH levels are low, then her ovarian reserve may be insufficient, resulting in a low number of egg retrievals. Therefore, the detection of AMH is very important for assessing ovarian reserve and IVF prognosis.
In addition, some lifestyle habits and influencing factors may also affect the number of eggs retrieved. Smoking and drinking alcohol can impair ovarian function, which in turn reduces the number of eggs retrieved. Poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and excessive physical exertion can also adversely affect egg production and release. Causing psychological stress and mood swings may also affect the number of eggs retrieved. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and paying attention to mental health is very important to promote the increase in the number of egg retrievals.
Finally, the number of eggs retrieved may also be affected by the operational techniques and drug application of the egg retrieval process. The technique of the egg retrieval procedure and the doctor's level of experience can affect the egg collection. At the same time, the type and dose of egg stimulation drugs used will also have an impact on the number of eggs retrieved. If the drug is not used properly, ** occurs, it may result in a lower number of egg retrievals.
In response to the problem of a small number of eggs retrieved in IVF, some measures can be taken to deal with it. First of all, before starting IVF**, women can undergo a series of reproductive system examinations to assess their ovarian reserve. When formulating the best plan, the doctor can formulate a personalized plan according to the examination results, including appropriately adjusting the dosage and time of the egg stimulating drugs to improve the success rate of egg retrieval. In addition, couples can adjust their lifestyle and eating habits to reduce the effects of harmful factors and help increase the number of egg retrievals.
