Patient's question:
Before, my husband and I went to the Reproductive Endocrinology Department of Beijing University Third Hospital. The doctor there said I had symptoms of dysmenorrhea and needed to undergo in vitro fertilization. At that time, I was quite puzzled. I have many friends around me who also experience dysmenorrhea, so why can they get pregnant while I can't? Then I asked the doctor if there were any other issues with me. The doctor said there were none. I checked my test reports and found that my vaginal ultrasound was normal. The smear analysis report for thin cell detection showed one case of severe inflammation, but everything else was normal. It also stated that the smear quality was satisfactory, and my menstrual cycles are regular every month.My husband's semen analysis results: Total number of sperm analyzed: 210; Number of normally shaped sperm: 17; Percentage of normally shaped sperm: 8.10%; Number of abnormally shaped sperm heads: 193; Percentage of abnormally shaped sperm heads: 9.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the success rate of IVF depends on many factors, mainly including hospital facilities, doctors' technical skills, and patients' own conditions (such as age, uterus, and ovaries), among which the impact of the female's age is the most significant. Generally, in women aged 25-35, the success rate of IVF is higher than the average level of 30%-40%, but after the age of 35, the success rate gradually declines, and by the age of 40, it can only reach around 20%.Additionally, poor male sperm quality can be treated naturally to achieve conception, and it is not necessarily required to undergo IVF. It is recommended to have a check-up at a regular hospital. Wishing you good health.
