What tests do test tube babies with premature ovarian failure need to do?
Premature ovarian failure is one of the common diseases of female reproductive system. For many patients, IVF is a way to realize their reproductive dreams. However, during IVF, a series of tests are required to ensure safety and success. This article will elaborate what examinations should be done for test tube infants with premature ovarian failure from four aspects.
Endocrine hormone test
Endocrine hormone detection is one of the important indicators to evaluate ovarian function. For patients with premature ovarian failure, hormone levels often change significantly due to abnormal ovarian function. Therefore, before IVF, doctors usually require patients to carry out a series of endocrine hormone tests.
Common endocrine hormone tests include estradiol, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, etc. The levels of these hormones reflect the functional state of the ovary, which helps doctors understand the ovulation and egg quality of patients. The detection of these indicators can provide a strong basis for the success of IVF.
Reproductive endoscopy
Reproductive endoscopy is a method for direct observation and evaluation of female reproductive organs. For patients with premature ovarian failure, the structure and function of uterus, ovary, fallopian tube and other organs can be understood in detail through reproductive endoscopy.
Reproductive endoscopy is usually performed by gynecologists, and its operation process is relatively simple and safe. Doctors will use a slender optical instrument to insert into the female genital tract and judge the condition of organs by observing the images on the screen. This information is very important for developing IVF plans and surgical procedures.
Gene testing
In recent years, gene testing has been widely used in the field of IVF. For patients with premature ovarian failure, gene testing can help determine whether there are gene mutations related to ovarian function, so as to better guide treatment and select appropriate treatment programs.
Gene detection is usually achieved by DNA extraction and sequencing. Doctors will extract a certain amount of DNA samples from patients, and then send them to the laboratory for sequencing and analysis. By analyzing the genetic information of patients, mutations and variations related to ovarian function can be found, providing more accurate prediction for the success rate of IVF.
Blood test
Blood test is also very important in the process of IVF. Through blood examination, we can understand the patient's blood routine, liver and kidney functions, infectious disease screening and other information, and provide a basis for the smooth operation.
Common blood examination items include hemoglobin, white blood cell count, platelet count, liver function indicators (AST, ALT, total protein, total bilirubin, etc.), renal function indicators (creatinine, uric acid, etc.), etc. The abnormality of these indicators may affect the effect of IVF and the health of patients, so blood test is indispensable.
Summary
To sum up, test tube babies with premature ovarian failure need to be examined in many ways. Endocrine hormone test can evaluate ovarian function; Reproductive endoscopy can understand the condition of reproductive organs in detail; Gene testing can help identify relevant gene mutations; The blood test can understand the overall health of the patient. The comprehensive results of these tests can provide a scientific basis for the success of IVF and bring hope to the patients.
