In China, infertility has become an increasingly serious issue, with the incidence rate reaching 12%-15%. According to surveys, among the causes of infertility, female factors account for approximately 50%, male factors for around 30%, and combined male and female factors for about 20%. Despite some development in domestic IVF technology, the failure rate of treatments remains as high as 60%. With the relaxation of the two-child policy, more high-age individuals are seeking IVF assistance. In this context, 70% of infertility patients have expressed a preference for undergoing IVF procedures in the U.S. rather than in China. The reasons behind this trend are mainly as follows:

Firstly, IVF technology in the U.S. has evolved from the first generation of IVF technology, through the second generation of ICSI technology, to the third generation of IVF-PGT technology. This advanced technology allows for chromosomal screening and genetic diagnosis of embryos, selecting only the healthy embryos for transfer, which significantly increases the success rate.

Secondly, the medical conditions in the U.S. are also more advanced. In the IVF process, culturing embryos requires highly precise technology. The U.S. can culture embryos up to five days, a difference of just two days compared to the three days typically done in China, but this impacts the success rate of embryo transfers significantly. U.S. laboratories have higher standards in terms of seal integrity, sterility, and temperature control, while domestic facilities still need improvement in these aspects.

Thirdly, the management of medications in IVF treatments is more reasonable in the U.S. Given that a woman’s egg supply is limited, excessive medication can lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which not only affects treatment outcomes but can also burden women’s health. U.S. experts avoid overmedicating during egg retrieval, making full use of advanced embryo culturing technology to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatments.

Lastly, the legal environment in the U.S. supports IVF and related assisted reproductive technologies more comprehensively. U.S. laws allow for the selection of the baby’s sex during IVF, and support LGBTQ+ individuals in accessing reproductive assistance through legal channels. In contrast, these choices are strictly regulated in China.

Therefore, considering factors such as technology, medical conditions, medication management, and legal environment, an increasing number of infertility patients are choosing to undergo IVF treatment in the U.S. If you are interested in IVF or need professional fertility advice, IVF USA and Dr. Nathan Zhang are here to offer you the most considerate consultation and support.
