Introduction to IVF technology
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. It is usually used to treat infertility, including female ovulation disorders, male sperm quality problems or bilateral reproductive tract anatomy abnormalities. The process of IVF includes collecting female eggs and male sperm, then combining them into fertilized eggs in the laboratory, and finally transplanting the fertilized eggs into the female uterus for growth and development.
The relationship between physiological cycle and IVF
The physiological cycle is critical to the success of IVF. Under normal circumstances, women will experience a physiological cycle every month, including menstruation, ovulation and luteal phase. These physiological cycles play a key role in the quality of eggs and the preparation of endometrium. In the process of IVF, doctors usually need to monitor the physiological cycle of women to determine the best time for fertilization and transplantation. Therefore, women without physiological cycle need to take additional steps to carry out IVF.
IVF without physiological cycle
For women without physiological cycle, doctors usually use artificial cycle control to carry out IVF. This includes the use of hormonal drugs to simulate normal physiological cycles. In the artificial cycle control, doctors will prescribe hormone drugs to female patients to adjust their ovarian function and endometrial preparation, so as to collect eggs at an appropriate time for fertilization and transplantation.
In addition, the continuous progress of technology also provides other options for women without physiological cycle. An example is the egg freezing technology, which is to freeze and save the female eggs for IVF at a later time point. This can give women more flexibility to control the time and process of IVF independently.
In real hospitals, test tube babies are carried out
There are many professional hospitals and institutions around the world that provide IVF services. In the United States, for example, there is a world-famous IVF clinic, the Cleveland Clinic. Founded in 1921, Cleveland Clinic is one of the earliest and most prestigious medical institutions in the United States. Its reproductive medicine center is a world-famous IVF treatment center.
In addition, there are many famous IVF centers in the UK, such as the Harry Street Clinic in London, which specializes in reproductive medicine, and the Reproductive Department of Cambridge University Hospital. These institutions have world-class equipment and professional teams to provide good treatment environment and high-quality medical services for couples who need IVF.
summary
Although physiological cycle is crucial to the success of IVF, women without physiological cycle still have the opportunity to conduct IVF through artificial cycle control or egg freezing technology. Through appropriate hormone drugs and technical means, IVF is still a viable option for these women. We should also be aware that there are many formal hospitals and institutions that can provide professional IVF services, which will help meet the dreams of couples who need this technology.
