✨ DR. PHAM THI THUY DUONG ATTENDS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN SPAIN: TRENDS SHAPING THE FUTURE OF IVF
From April 23–25, Dr. Thuy Duong – Center Director – attended the 47th International Dexeus Congress “Reproductive Medicine Meets the World” in Barcelona, Spain. This is one of the most prestigious and long-standing conferences in the field of assisted reproduction.
Many emerging perspectives in infertility treatment highlight that IVF is entering a new phase: more precise, more personalized, and less invasive.
🔬 IVF is no longer “a woman’s story”
Male factors are now recognized as equally important, with growing evidence showing that s***m DNA quality directly impacts treatment outcomes. The current approach emphasizes comprehensive evaluation of both partners.
🧫 Egg quantity is no longer the key factor
Discussions around IVF vs. ICSI and ovarian stimulation strategies show a shift from maximizing quantity to optimizing quality. Mild stimulation, embryo accumulation, and personalized protocols are becoming the preferred approach.
🧠 The “implantation mystery” is being unraveled
The roles of immunity, endometrial microbiome, and complex interactions in implantation are becoming clearer—opening the door to more precise interventions, especially in recurrent implantation failure.
🧬 Genetics offers deeper insights into IVF failure
Research on PGT-A, genetic mutations, and mitochondrial function shows that embryo screening is not only about selecting the “best” embryo, but also about understanding previous failures.
👶 IVF success goes beyond achieving pregnancy
The conference emphasized monitoring pregnancy outcomes and the long-term health of ART-conceived children, including fetal growth and obstetric risks. Effective treatment must go hand in hand with long-term safety.
🤖 Technology is transforming IVF practice
AI in embryo selection, time-lapse embryo monitoring systems, and in vitro maturation (IVM) are opening new directions: reducing intervention while increasing precision.
⚕️ Personalization in complex cases
From poor oocyte maturation and fertilization failure to recurrent miscarriage, current solutions are increasingly tailored to each patient rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol.
🌱 IVF as a holistic approach
Environmental factors, lifestyle, and nutrition are increasingly proven to impact fertility, highlighting the importance of addressing root causes alongside medical intervention.
---------------
These updates point to a clear direction: modern IVF is not just a medical technique, but a combination of advanced technology, deep biological understanding, and personalized care for each patient.
Dr. Pham Thi Thuy Duong will continue to update and apply these advancements in clinical practice, with the goal of optimizing success rates for every family.
