Definition of artificial twins
Artificial twins refer to the use of artificial assisted reproductive technology to transplant multiple embryos into the mother\’s body, allowing them to develop simultaneously, and ultimately give birth to two or more children in the mother\’s body. This technology can allow couples in need to realize their dream of twins, but it also requires appropriate medical technical support and appropriate psychological preparation.
Technical principles of artificial twins
Artificial twin technology is mainly divided into two types: in vitro fertilization and in vitro fertilization. In vitro fertilization is the fertilization of sperm and eggs in a breeding device. In vitro fertilization requires both men and women to first produce two parts of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm), and then combine the two parts in a breeder for artificial insemination. The multiple embryos selected in this way can be transplanted into the mother\’s body for development to achieve the purpose of artificial twin birth.
Applicable groups for artificial twins
Artificial twin technology has clear advantages, but not all couples are suitable for this technology. Applicable groups mainly include:
First, older women, since female fertility decreases with age, some women may need multiple attempts to achieve success.
Second, couples with special needs for childbearing or conception, such as couples with difficulty in embryo implantation, infertility, chromosomal problems, etc.
Third, because some genetic diseases of protoplasmic cells require attention, for patients with genetic diseases, if artificial twins are used, once the genetic disease occurs in one of the children, the other may also occur, which requires the family to Think carefully.
Notes and Risks
When using artificial twin technology, it is important to develop habits and protocols that minimize risks. A professional medical team is required to strictly control the operation process to avoid unnecessary risks. Specifically, there are the following aspects that need attention:
First, when operating in vitro reproduction technology, do not use drugs indiscriminately, and do not adjust human hormone levels in advance.
Second, do not perform surgery on the two embryos that are transferred, as this will make it more difficult to get the embryos to take root safely in the uterus.
Third, in order to avoid unexpected situations, both husband and wife need to be fully prepared, do preparatory work such as psychological counseling, and maintain an optimistic attitude.
Artificial twin technology is an advanced assisted reproductive technology suitable for people with special needs for childbirth or conception. During the entire operation process, scientific and reasonable operations and arrangements are required, and relevant risks and hidden dangers need to be taken seriously. The convenience and happiness brought by artificial twin technology will bring new hope to many couples who have experienced setbacks and infertility.
