What steps are needed for IVF in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has become a choice for many infertile couples to pursue reproductive happiness. The Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (hereinafter referred to as the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University), as a well-known general hospital in China, has accumulated rich experience in the field of IVF. Next, we will introduce the steps required for IVF in the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College from four aspects: patient selection, preparation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer.
Patient selection
First of all, the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and examination of couples who have been diagnosed with infertility to ensure that patients meet the applicable conditions of IVF. First, the patient must be within the normal childbearing age range. At the same time, women should have enough eggs and quality, and men should have normal sperm quality and quantity. Secondly, patients should not have obvious reproductive system diseases or other serious basic diseases, so as not to affect the success rate of IVF and the safety of pregnancy.
The Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College will further evaluate and screen patients according to their specific conditions, including medical history records, physical examination, reproductive system imaging examination, etc. Through comprehensive patient selection, we can maximize the probability of success of IVF.
preparation
Preparations include hormone regulation, preparation for ovulation, standby semen collection, etc. First, female patients need to undergo a period of hormone regulation to provide a suitable intrauterine environment. Secondly, according to the menstrual cycle of women, ovulation can be promoted by drugs to develop the ovaries and ovulate more, increasing the chances of fertilization. At the same time, in order to ensure successful insemination, male patients need to provide spare semen for emergencies.
Comprehensive preparation is very important, which can lay a good foundation for the next egg retrieval and embryo transfer, and improve the success rate of IVF.
Egg retrieval
Egg retrieval is one of the core links of IVF, which needs to be carried out in the operating room. Experts from the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College will formulate an egg retrieval plan according to the specific conditions of female patients and conduct regular egg retrieval operations. First, the patient will receive general anesthesia to ensure the smooth operation. Then, under the guidance of transvaginal ultrasound, use a slender needle to puncture the ovarian follicle and extract the fluid and eggs in the follicle.
The retrieved eggs will be sent to the laboratory for evaluation and treatment. Normal eggs will be fertilized in vitro with spare semen, and embryo transfer will be carried out after the embryo has developed to a certain stage.
embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the last and most critical step of IVF technology. Experts from the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College will determine the appropriate time for embryo transfer according to the development of embryos and the intrauterine environment of female patients. During surgery, the cervix will be gently opened and the evaluated embryo will be transferred to the uterine cavity.
After transplantation, patients need to pay attention to rest and precautions, and at the same time, drug treatment and reexamination should be carried out according to the doctor's requirements. After about two weeks, serum HCG can be checked to determine whether the pregnancy is successful.
Summary
The IVF in the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College includes four main steps: patient selection, preparation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Through comprehensive evaluation and screening of patients, ensure that patients meet the applicable conditions of IVF. The preparation work lays a good foundation for the follow-up operation. The operation of egg retrieval and embryo transfer are the core links of IVF. The Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College has rich experience and professional team, providing reliable support for infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams.
