The IVF treatment for the first time was the talk of the town in 1978. No doubt, with time people are getting familiar with the treatment and how it works by consulting the best fertility doctor at the IVF Centre in Punjab. But still, many individuals are not that much aware or they have various concerns in their mind which are not even relevant. One of the concerns of the couple undergoing the IVF treatment at our fertility clinic in Moga is, ‘Whether babies born with IVF are healthy or not?’ In this blog, we are going to make you familiar with the study which is done on the same.
Study based on evaluation, ‘Are IVF babies healthy?’
This study was done in Israel on the young adults who got enlisted in the military. For military service, it is essential to undergo the necessary evaluation of psychiatric and medical history. Considering the service, it is essential to properly maintain their condition. During the study, the children born between the years 1982 to 1993 were analyzed. All these IVF babies were between the age group of 16 to 20.

Positives noticed from the study done on babies born with IVF treatment
You know what my mom always tells me, ‘You should see the positives in every situation. Here are some of the positives noticed in the study:
- The discharge rate among the IVF babies was extremely lower considering the health factor. The exemption was done on behavior, personality disorder, and in some cases, medical issues.
- IVF babies’ cognitive function was more than others which is a great factor in itself.
Any other thing noticed during the study?
One thing which cannot be termed as negative about IVF and on this aspect is that much study has not been done. It has been seen that IVF adolescents had more regular doctor appointments as compared to others. You can say that getting more medical attention might be the reason they have grown up in a family where health is given major priority. There is no clear reason that IVF babies had health issues and that is the reason they attended more appointments.
Wrap up!
Well, no study is perfect. With such a vast population, it is difficult to keep track of everything and anything. The positive side of this study is that IVF babies are born healthy. If you want to be clear about the way treatment works or how your IVF cycle will be planned, then schedule your initial consultation with our doctor without any problem.
