What are the technologies of maternal and child test tube babies in Hubei Province?
Hubei Province, as one of the earliest regions in China to develop IVF technology, has accumulated rich experience in the field of maternal and child health care. At present, the maternal and child health care institutions in Hubei Province have provided a variety of IVF technologies for infertile couples, including in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), ovarian natural cycle fertilization embryo implantation (Natural Cycle IVF-ET), ovarian natural cycle fertilization embryo transfer (Natural Cycle IVF-ET), and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). These technologies are described in detail below.
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET)
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer is one of the most widely used IVF technologies. The technology is mainly divided into the following steps:
1. Egg collection: During female ovulation, doctors will use ultrasound guided needles to suck mature eggs in the ovary;
2. Sperm extraction: men provide semen samples and extract sperm by centrifugation;
3. In vitro fertilization: put sperm and eggs in a culture dish to promote fertilization;
4. Embryo culture: culture the fertilized egg to the stage of developing into blastocyst;
5. Embryo transfer: transfer the blastocyst into the woman's uterus and hope that it will be implanted and developed.
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) technology has been widely used in maternal and child health care institutions in Hubei Province, bringing fertility hope to infertile couples.
Natural Cycle IVF-ET
Ovarian natural cycle fertilization embryo implantation technology is a relatively new IVF technology. The technology is characterized by minimizing the use of ovulation promoting drugs, which is closer to the natural reproductive process. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Monitoring follicular growth: determine the development of follicles through ultrasonic examination and blood hormone monitoring;
2. Egg collection: when the follicle develops to the appropriate size, use a needle to suck the mature eggs in the ovary;
3. Natural fertilization: put eggs and sperm in a culture dish to promote fertilization;
4. Embryo implantation: transfer the fertilized egg or embryo into the woman's uterus.
Compared with the traditional in vitro fertilization embryo transfer technology, the ovarian natural cycle fertilization embryo transfer technology is more natural and less stimulating to the female body.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is a technology that can detect the genetic status of embryos before IVF embryo transfer. The technology is mainly divided into the following steps:
1. Egg and sperm collection: in vitro fertilization embryo transfer technology;
2. Fertilization and culture: in vitro fertilization embryo transfer technology;
3. Embryo cell sampling: obtaining cell samples from embryos through sampling technology;
4. Gene testing: genetic testing is carried out on the obtained cell samples, which can detect chromosome abnormalities, single gene genetic diseases, etc;
5. Select healthy embryos: select healthy embryos for transplantation based on the test results.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis technology can help infertile couples screen embryos carrying genetic diseases, reduce the risk of disease, and improve the success rate of IVF.
Cause analysis and personalized treatment
Maternal and child health care institutions in Hubei Province pay attention to personalized treatment of infertile couples. Through comprehensive analysis of the health status, age and infertility causes of both spouses, personalized treatment plans are formulated. Common causes of infertility include fallopian tube blockage, sperm quality problems, ovarian dysfunction, etc. According to the specific situation, doctors can choose appropriate IVF technology to increase the possibility of successful treatment.
Summary
Maternal and child health care institutions in Hubei Province have provided a variety of options in IVF technology, including IVF embryo transfer, ovarian natural cycle fertilization embryo implantation, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis. These technologies can not only help infertile couples realize their fertility dreams, but also improve the success rate through personalized treatment programs. With the continuous development of science and technology, the maternal and child health care institutions in Hubei Province will continue to innovate, bringing hope for more couples to have children.
