Patient's question:
Before, my husband and I went to the Reproductive Endocrinology department of Beijing University Third Hospital. The doctor there said I have symptoms of dysmenorrhea and need to undergo in vitro fertilization. At that time, I was quite puzzled. Many people around me also have 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 showed moderate 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 these, the impact of the female partner's age is the most significant. Generally, in women aged 25-35, the success rate of IVF is higher than the average 30%-40%, but after the age of 35, the success rate gradually declines, reaching around 20% by the age of 40.Additionally, poor male sperm quality can be treated to achieve natural 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.
