Chapter 760: The Infertility Department is popular
After the negotiation with the Mayo team ended and everyone returned to the office, Lao Guo was a little incomprehensible:
"I said Chen Qi, there are so many good things in the Mayo Clinic, why do you want a reproduction medical center? What's the use of this thing? ”
Although Principal Li was also a little confused, he believed in Chen Qi's vision and knew that he must have his reasons for doing this:
"Chen Qi, do you think that the infertility discipline in China will be promising in the future?"
Chen Qi thought to himself, I really don't know the statistics of 1990, but if you look at the statistics of 2020, 3% of the people in the country suffer from infertility, and the total population will reach 50 million.
Even if there was no 50 million people in 1990, or not everyone had the money to see a doctor, 20 million people, is this patient base enough?
If 1 million people come to the hospital every year for infertility treatment, or for prenatal diagnosis of whether the fetus is malformed, then the hospital can definitely make a lot of money.
Not only can it make money, because it involves genetics and genetics, which are all lively disciplines in the future, and an absolute academic gold mine.
And Chen Qi knows that as the economic development gets better and better in the future, the people have money in their pockets, and they will naturally do everything possible to have their own children.
Even if the father or mother is defective, then borrowing a XX sperm or XX egg can still give birth to a child in name, how many families can this benefit?
The total cost of an IVF is about 3~100,000 yuan, and the profit is considerable.
Chen Qi looked at the two elders and said seriously:
"Principal Li, Uncle Guo, you really don't look down on the infertility department, oh no, there should be a lofty name in the future, called Reproduction Medical Center, this industry is definitely a gold mine, and it can definitely make a lot of money.
And don't underestimate infertility, this thing is definitely a high-tech industry, for example, some women have underlying diseases that are not suitable for pregnancy, such as congenital heart disease, lung disease, pernicious anemia, etc., and the mother may die in her life.
But the couple has a strong desire to have a child, what do you say? Now the doctor can only say sorry, but if the IVF is successful, and then the seeds are planted in the XX palace of another woman, the child born is still the biological child of the couple. ”
Lao Guo's eyes widened: "Isn't this just borrowing the womb to give birth to a child, this can also be done." ”
Yes, Chen Qi is talking about surrogacy.
Many countries are cracking down on surrogacy because it involves a lot of medical ethics issues.
But Chen Qi's point of view is that there are pros and cons to everything, and there is no need to beat him to death with a stick.
If the . Essence and offering. The egg is a legal couple, and they can't get pregnant for various reasons, so what's wrong with finding a female surrogate?
As long as the surrogate woman is voluntary, it is reasonable to charge appropriate remuneration, after all, she rents out her XX palace.
If you go to an agency to rent a house, you also have to pay rent, right?
The mandatory prohibition of surrogacy is to watch people cut off their children and grandchildren, which is in line with medical ethics?
Female quanists will say that surrogacy is dirty, shameless, and extremely harmful to a woman's body, go and look at those poor surrogates in Eastern Europe and South Asia.
Chen Qi felt that this was not comprehensive, couples who could not have children for various reasons were looking for surrogacy, and the couple must not be bad for money, at least they were middle-class!
They will definitely do whatever it takes to get their own child in their belly to grow up healthily and spend 9 months and 7 days safely.
During the 10 months of surrogacy women's pregnancy, they must be supplied with good wine and food, and nutritional and health products, how can they be hungry when they eat bran vegetables?
For women in Eastern Europe or South Asia who have no money to eat, this is a blessing rather than a misery.
Having more children is suffering?
There is no evidence that women who have only one child live on average than women who have several children.
If having more children is a devastation to women, then developed countries are harming women's bodies by giving high subsidies to women who have more children to encourage them to have more children?
Surrogacy is strictly prohibited, which is a loss of economic resources for women in poor South Asia.
If a woman can't rent out her XX palace, in order to survive, in order to have something to eat, she will sell herself, ahem.
People are dying of hunger, and they still care if they are healthy?
Poor women mourn everything.
Principal Li was also stunned when he heard the example of giving birth to a child in the womb:
"This is indeed a high-tech, but we don't seem to pay attention to surrogacy and IVF in China, right? As far as what you are talking about, there is no reproduction medical center in China at present, can this really be done? ”
Chen Qi laughed when he heard this:
"Two masters, it is precisely because others have not done it, let's be the first person to eat crabs, so that we can get the thickest dividends and eat the biggest piece of cake. If everyone does it, what's the point of us following the trend? ”
Lao Guo was right when he heard it, and said to Principal Li with a smile:
"Chen Qi is really doing something unprecedented, you said that he is a good surgeon who first engaged in endoscopy, then engaged in burns and plastic surgery, and now wants to engage in infertility, all of which are out of the ordinary."
There is a chain of contempt in the medical profession.
Just as plastic surgery is at the end of the chain of contempt of the surgical system, infertility is also at the end of the chain of contempt of the internal medicine or gynaecological system.
What tumors, cancers, livers, and hearts are dealing with high-end doctors, you are dealing with XX sperm and XX eggs all day long, and you revolve around a group of old ladies every day, which is not good to say.
So in the eighties and nineties, or earlier, not only doctors didn't pay attention to it, but even ordinary people didn't pay attention to infertility.
This lack of attention does not mean that people do not value their children, but that people will not seek help from the hospital when they encounter infertility after marriage.
One should be poor, in the past years, he couldn't even eat enough, and he earned some work every day, where did he get the money to treat diseases? I can't even go to the next county without a letter of introduction.
So what happens when a couple can't have children?
Either secretly worship Guanyin Bodhisattva at home every day, or go to the old doctor in the village to grab Chinese medicine to eat, but I didn't expect to go to the hospital for treatment.
Just like in "Love in the Courtyard", Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e couldn't give birth to children, but they didn't go to the hospital for investigation or treatment.
Not to mention the peasants, even if they were still the working class in the capital.
The second is that medical care is too backward.
IVF technology has begun in foreign countries, but there is not even a shadow in China, and it was not until 1988 that it was officially successful in the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University.
It is not easy to succeed in this case, and the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University has failed countless times before finally succeeding in such a case.
So in the late eighties and early nineties, IVF did not become the mainstream medical treatment in China.
Those who have the money and power to do IVF would rather go to Yueben and Xiangjiang to do IVF, but the success rate in China is too low.
IVF technology is not as simple as everyone thinks, I think that as long as the father's XX essence and mother's XX eggs are extracted, and then put into the XX palace once combined.
There are 5 hurdles to overcome.
The first difficulty is for the XX sperm, and it is also for the quality of the father's XX sperm to be qualified?
If it is conceived naturally, it is very demanding for the normal XX fluid of the male.
For example, the amount of XX liquid > 1.5ml, the liquefaction time 7.2, the XX essence vitality forward movement >32%, the total vitality > 40%, the concentration > 15 million/ml, and each piupiupiu should be >20 million, normal form ≥ 4%.
These conditions are indispensable for men, so when your parents are combined, in addition to running first place, your father is also working hard.
The second difficulty comes from the mother's stimulation of XX eggs, and the mother should also work hard.
In the process of stimulation, many women will have a poor stimulation response, a small number of eggs and even overstimulation of the XX nest, which will cause great harm to the body.
(The process of retrieving XX eggs is very painful)
Moreover, with the increase of age, the female XX nest reserve function declines, and egg retrieval becomes more difficult.
In addition, XX nest cyst excision, XX nest electrocoagulation and other surgeries can also destroy the structure of XX nest and damage the function of XX nest, which will lead to poor XX nest response in stimulation, and there will be few or no eggs retrieved.
The second is the difficulty of retrieving XX eggs, the main reason is that the female XX nest function is not good, does not respond to the stimulation of XX egg stimulation drugs, or the response is very poor, so that the XX nest can not produce a sufficient number of mature XX eggs.
If the mother can't provide normal mature XX eggs, then no matter how powerful the father is, it's useless, and IVF still can't do it.
The third difficulty, even if Dad's XX sperm and Mom's XX eggs are successfully retrieved, they are normal, mature, and usable.
When doing IVF, about 20~30% of patients will face binding failure
For example, XX sperm cannot enter XX eggs normally, or it is possible that when XX sperm enters the oocyte, the oocyte activation fails, resulting in the inability of the affected J egg to divide.
Sperm XX eggs do not combine naturally can not form embryos, no cleavage is also not a qualified embryo, the end is no transferable embryos, not even seeds, what field do you plant?
The fourth difficulty lies in the success of embryo culture.
Embryo cultivation is to simulate the maternal environment, and the recipient J eggs are cultivated into early embryos or blastocysts in vitro, and the success or failure of this link depends on the quality of the recipient J eggs and the laboratory environment.
If the J egg itself is defective, it is naturally unable to continue to grow and develop normally, or there is no environment that conforms to the growth of the embryo, and it is also difficult for the J egg to grow healthily in vitro.
This is equivalent to the process of cultivating rice seeds and germinating seeds by old farmers.
Old farmers tend to choose the fullest rice (there are several embryos, choose the best embryos), and then soak them, drain them, and keep them warm to germinate (embryo culture)
The seeds germinate smoothly, and then they can be planted in the field (XX Palace), if the germination work is not done well, and the seeds do not germinate, then let alone farming, they will have to starve to death this year.
