Infertility troubles countless families and puts immense pressure on them. IVF is the solution, but the problem has come again. Many people are worried about the health of IVF babies, and even believe that these babies have intellectual problems, poor health, etc. So are third-generation IVF babies really unhealthy? Or is this a rumor? Let's take a closer look.

Are babies born in third generation IVF unhealthy? To answer this question, we need to understand the principles of in vitro fertilization (IVF), which is actually the common term for in vitro fertilization embryo transfer surgery. Simply put, taking excellent and active sperm from the husband's body, taking mature and excellent eggs from the wife's body, allowing the sperm and eggs to form fertilized eggs in vitro, and then undergoing genetic screening, selecting more excellent embryos to transfer to the wife's uterus. This entire process is completed, and the subsequent procedure is the same as natural conception.

We know that many women, due to ovarian damage and unhealthy ovaries, are unable to ovulate healthy mature eggs. Therefore, they need to use ovulation promoting drugs to turn an egg that was originally ovulated into an egg that was previously ovulated. These eggs are then removed and combined with the male sperm to form an embryo. The well-developed embryo is either transplanted into the mother's body or frozen and stored for future use. We have to mention the algebra of in vitro fertilization here. Today, IVF has developed three generations of technology, divided into first generation, second generation, and third generation. These three generations have different indications, and the third generation technology is developed based on the first two generations, which can perform genetic testing on embryos. If some chromosomal or genetic problems are found in the embryos, the embryos will be abandoned, and high-quality embryos will be retained for transplantation or cryopreservation.

According to research by authoritative domestic institutions, there is currently no significant difference in any aspect between babies born in vitro and those born naturally. It should be pointed out that third-generation IVF technology cannot guarantee 100% health of the baby. At the same time, third-generation IVF technology can only ensure high-quality fertilization and early embryo cultivation stages, and later development in the mother's uterus cannot guarantee its health. Because in the mother's womb, defects may also be caused by external harmful factors. Therefore, for third-generation IVF, pregnant women must undergo regular prenatal examinations, Ensure the health of the baby.

In fact, third-generation IVF babies are not only very healthy, but also not inferior in all aspects to naturally conceived children, and sometimes even better, because third-generation IVF babies have undergone genetic testing and eliminated many diseases and defects, making them healthier and smarter.
