Is preimplantation genetic testing necessary?

admin

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is an innovative technology for screening chromosomes abnormalities of embryos before implantation.

PGT can be performed on day 5 after fertilization (Blastocyst Stage). Nowadays, PGT is available for all 23 pairs of chromosomes including 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes.

Risk of genetic abnormalities affects every development and existence of embryo. Considered as a serious obstacle in the future. Genetic abnormalities not only impact embryo implantation but also may lower a pregnancy opportunity as well.

Pregnancy in advanced maternal age is risky to have an embryo with abnormalities because of a chromosomal mutation. Therefore, it can reduce a pregnancy chance or even cause a recurrent miscarriage. Women in this vulnerable group need to be diagnosed PGT as well as people who inherit or possibly pass any genetic disorders to their offspring. This test is to minimize the risk of having genetic disorders to a baby consequently.

Thus, couples who are carrying the risk of genetic abnormalities should consult a fertility specialist, attend a fertility treatment using the assisted reproductive technology (IVF/ICSI) along with PGT in order to screen or detect any genetic disorders on their embryos. Overall, the main advantage is to increase a pregnancy opportunity and ensure that the baby will be free of any genetic diseases.

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent parties and hangovers can directly and indirectly affect your health, especially for those who are already planning to have children. This makes it even more difficult to have children!

Because frequent and large amounts of alcoholic beverages cause the hormones in the body to function abnormally.

What are the effects of drinking alcohol and hangovers?

In men > Abnormal testosterone production results in the body producing less sperm, poor quality sperm, and reduced fertilization ability.

In women > Abnormalities in the pituitary glands hormone system and hormones that control ovarian function result in no ovulation, abnormal uterine lining, and increased chances of premature birth or miscarriage.

It also reduces the absorption of vitamins and minerals, increasing the risk of malnutrition such as magnesium and potassium. It also comes with negative effects from a “hangover” such as insufficient sleep, restless sleep, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, dehydration, fatigue, etc. These are indirect negative effects that affect the body.

Therefore, drinking excessive amounts of liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages is a cause of infertility and reduces the chances of having children by up to 50%.

If anyone is planning a pregnancy and still has problems controlling their alcohol consumption, you may need to consider consulting a mental health professional or medical professional to find a treatment plan.
