POWER IVF Mexico Surrogacy Q&A: How to Mitigate Disease Transmission Risk?

For intended parents choosing Mexico surrogacy, ensuring the future baby's health is the foremost consideration. Many families naturally worry whether the surrogate's health status, particularly potential illnesses, could be transmitted to the child. This is a very important question. Professional surrogacy agencies and IVF centers mitigate this risk to the absolute minimum through strict screening procedures and round-the-clock medical monitoring, ensuring the baby's maximum safety genetically and physiologically.

 Scientific Analysis of Disease Transmission Risk from Surrogate

In the Mexico surrogacy process, the baby's genetic material comes from the intended parents' (or donor's) embryo, and the surrogate only provides the uterine environment.

1.  Isolation of Genetic Diseases

    Since the child does not inherit the surrogate's genetic material, hereditary diseases carried by the surrogate (such as certain familial cancers, inherited metabolic disorders, etc.) will not be passed on to the child. The baby's genetic risk is solely related to the source of the sperm and egg. Before IVF embryo transfer, IVF-PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) is typically performed to screen the embryo for chromosomal and genetic abnormalities, safeguarding the embryo's health at the source.

2.  Strict Screening for Infectious Diseases

    The main risk of disease transmission from the surrogate to the child lies in blood-borne and mother-to-child vertical transmission of infectious diseases. Professional Mexico surrogacy agencies manage this risk through multiple, strict medical screenings:

     Comprehensive Pre-Approval Testing: Before a surrogate candidate enters the program, she must undergo a full infectious disease screening, including but not limited to HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis, and others. Any candidate testing positive will be excluded from the surrogacy program.

     Regular Repeat Testing: To ensure that no accidental infection occurs during the surrogacy cycle, the surrogate undergoes multiple infectious disease re-checks before embryo transfer and throughout the entire pregnancy.

3.  Professional Monitoring During Pregnancy

    Even for non-infectious health issues that the surrogate might develop during pregnancy (such as gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes, etc.), the IVF center ensures close monitoring and control through professional prenatal management and high-frequency check-ups, thereby preventing any negative impact on fetal development.
