Medical Video: Ivf Success Rates First Time (*DOUBLE* YOUR SUCCESS)
In vitro fertilization (IVF) aka IVF is one of the choices of pregnant programs that have a high level of success. However, IVF programs are also susceptible to failure in the middle of the road for one reason or another. That's why in order for IVF to succeed until pregnancy, you and your partner need to support it through the application of a healthier lifestyle early on. Like what?
The faster you join the IVF program, the higher the chance of success
Based on data from 2017 PERFITRI REGISTRY, the average chance of successful pregnancy from IVF reaches 29 percent. But the sooner you start, the better. If you and your partner start IVF under the age of 35, the chances of success can be up to 40 percent.
Younger age means the body is still able to produce healthier and better quality eggs and sperm cells. These two important factors allow successful conception until pregnancy occurs. Conversely, the older you and your partner, the chances of success will decrease dramatically due to aging body functions.
In addition to age, this can also be influenced by the pattern of life of husband and wife who have been equally unhealthy. So far, the community considers that couples who are difficult to have children are always because of the infertile women. Even though, not always.
Men can also experience fertility problems, especially if their lifestyle is not healthy. Various daily lifestyle factors can cause men to have a small sperm count or poor sperm quality, making it difficult to fertilize their partner's egg cells.
Want IVF to succeed? Change your lifestyle and your partner
If the couple wants a IVF program to succeed, you both have to start to improve your healthy lifestyle even from a long time ago before registering at your chosen IVF clinic. The following tips:
1. Eat nutritious food
Real intake is very important to increase the fertility of married couples. "In patients who are [undiagnosed] infertile almost all are deficient in vitamin D, antioxidants, proteins, and other nutrients," said Prof. Dr. Budi Wiweko, SpOG (K), MPH, as President of the Indonesian In Vitro Fertilization Association (PERFITRI) was met by the Hello Sehat team in Cikini, Central Jakarta, Thursday (30/8) at a media gathering hosted by Merck Indonesia.
Actually, there is no type of food or special diet that can significantly increase the success of IVF. But quoted from Parents, a 2014 study reported that vitamin D deficiency can make IVF programs vulnerable to failure.
That is why, Prof. Wiweko specifically recommends couples to increase consumption of food sources of vitamin D, antioxidants, proteins, and low glycemic foods. Especially for men who experience sperm disorders.
Prof. Wiweko further emphasized that fresh vegetables and fruits, grains, meat, fish, and so on remained equally good for fertility. The more healthy and varied the food you and your partner eat each day, the greater the chance of IVF successfully.
2. Stop smoking
Smoking is one of the main reasons why couples don't have children. Women who are active in smoking are known to have a small number of eggs so they slowly run out prematurely. Harmful poisons in cigarettes can also reduce the quality of male sperm while reducing the number of active sperm.
Because the sperm is very susceptible to DNA damage. This was also approved by Dr. Ivan Sini, GDRM, MMIS, FRANZCOG, SpOG, as Secretary General of PERFITRI who also met the Healthy Hello team in Cikini, Central Jakarta.
"Many men consider only stayingdepositsperm only (when IVF), "said Dr. Ivan, "But in reality, the effects of free radicals in sperm cells cannot be predicted. So, in general this can be improved by avoiding cigarettes. "
3. Proper exercise
All types of exercise are actually good for body health. It's just that, there are several types of exercise that are susceptible to causing male sperm damage. One example is cycling.
Routinely pedaling a bicycle every day is healthy. However, if done too hard even insisting on traveling tens to hundreds of kilometers, this risks causing damage to sperm.
"Positioncyclingit's actually not very beneficial for male testicles. The testicles can be sick and hot because of being depressed by a bicycle seat, "said Prof. Wiweko.
Habitthe gymcan also trigger the same risk. Come onthe gymcan indeed make the body become healthy and fit. However, if you take a sauna immediately afterthe gym, this is not the right choice. The heat of the sauna can "bake" the testicles and ultimately damage healthy sperm cells, which in fact is very sensitive to heat.
However, that does not mean you may stop exercising forever, you know! The key is to choose moderate intensity sports such as walking, running, swimming, or yoga and don't push yourself.
4. Wear loose underwear
For those of you who still use tight underwear, you should immediately change this bad habit. The habit of wearing tight panties can suppress the male reproductive organs and reduce sperm quality.
Again, this has something to do with the temperature of the heat that affects sperm. Wearing tight underwear can increase the temperature of the testicles, aka the sperm warehouse. As a result, sperm cells are no longer healthy, break down quickly, and end up decreasing male fertility.
Speaking of hot temperatures, continued Dr. Wiweko, this risk can also lurk you who are used to savinghandphone in a pants pocket. So, from now on avoid using underpants that are too tight and you should keep your cellphone in a bag or pocket rather than in a pants pocket.
5. Avoid stress
Although not directly related, managing stress can help increase the success of IVF. This is evidenced by a study published in the 2014 Human Reproduction journal. Researchers found that women who had high levels of alpha-amylase (stress-triggering enzymes) tended to be twice as risky as infertility.
On this basis, experts believe that stress can reduce fertility even if not directly. Therefore, avoid everything that makes you stressed so that the IVF program is successful until it produces a healthy pregnancy.
