Test tube baby and menstruation
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, some women may have abnormal menstruation or menopause, which raises questions about whether they are suitable for IVF. This article will elaborate on the relationship between menstruation and IVF, the causes of abnormal menstruation, the process of IVF surgery and the hospital where the surgery was performed, so as to help readers better understand this topic.
Abnormal menstruation and test tube babies
Menstruation is a cyclical physiological phenomenon of the female body, which is usually a manifestation that mature eggs are not fertilized and discharged from the body. For those women with abnormal menstruation or menopause, their ovarian function may have problems, thus affecting the maturation and excretion of eggs. However, IVF does not rely on natural ovulation, but inserts the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus through artificial fertilization. Therefore, even women without menstruation can achieve fertility through IVF technology.
Abnormal menstruation may be caused by many reasons, such as ovarian dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis. For these cases, doctors usually formulate corresponding treatment plans according to specific conditions, including the use of ovulation promoting drugs, hormone therapy or surgical intervention. Whatever the cause of abnormal menstruation, it should not be an obstacle to IVF.
IVF procedure
IVF surgery is a conventional assisted reproductive technology, which mainly includes the following steps:
First, women undergo ovulation regulation, usually through hormone injection to promote ovarian ovulation. Then, the doctor can take the eggs at an appropriate time, and the eggs in the follicle can be aspirated by the needle under the guidance of ultrasound or obtained by surgical removal of ovarian tissue. At the same time, during this process, men provide sperm samples.
Secondly, professionals in the laboratory will conduct in vitro fertilization of eggs and sperm, that is, sperm will be injected into the eggs for fertilization. This process usually takes hours to days in the incubator.
Finally, the doctor inserts the fertilized egg into the female uterus to promote the implantation and development of the embryo. In the next few weeks or months, the doctor will continue to monitor the development of the embryo and ensure the normal development of the embryo through regular ultrasonic examination.
Hospital suitable for IVF operation
IVF surgery needs to be carried out in professional hospitals or reproductive centers, which are usually equipped with advanced equipment and professional teams. In China, well-known hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University have assisted reproductive medicine departments, which have rich clinical experience and provide IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies.
In addition, when choosing a hospital, patients should also consider the technical level of the hospital, the professional knowledge and experience of doctors, the integrity and safety of facilities and equipment, the success rate of the hospital and the quality of service and other factors. Therefore, finding a hospital with good reputation, rich experience and complete facilities is an important factor to ensure the success of IVF surgery.
Summary
From the four aspects of the relationship between menstruation and IVF, the causes of abnormal menstruation, the process of IVF surgery, and the hospital where the surgery was performed, we can draw a conclusion that abnormal menstruation will not affect the implementation of IVF, and IVF can help the husband and woman who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. People can choose to accept IVF surgery in professional hospitals or reproductive centers, and famous hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the First People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University have rich clinical experience. Through understanding these information, we hope to help more couples in need successfully realize their dreams of childbearing.
