What examinations does the third-generation IVF hospital need to do?
The third-generation IVF hospital is a professional medical institution for assisted reproductive technology, providing assistance to couples who cannot conceive naturally. Before IVF treatment, the hospital needs to carry out a series of examinations to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for the implementation of the treatment method. The following are some routine examinations performed by the third-generation IVF hospitals.
1. Infant reproductive system inspection
Before the third generation IVF treatment, the hospital usually conducts a detailed examination of the patient's reproductive system. This includes the examination of women's uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes to ensure their normal structure and function. For men, the hospital will check their testes, sperm quality and quantity. Through these tests, the hospital can determine whether the patient is suitable for third-generation IVF treatment.
First, the hospital will conduct imaging examinations, such as ultrasonic examination, to observe the shape and structure of the uterus and ovary, and determine whether there are abnormal ovarian cysts, tumors, etc. In addition, the hospital can also directly observe the condition of uterine cavity and fallopian tube through hysteroscopy to evaluate its patency and pathological changes.
For men, hospitals usually conduct semen analysis to assess the quality and quantity of sperm. This examination usually includes the observation of sperm concentration, vitality, morphology and other indicators. If the male has abnormal semen, the hospital may recommend further examination to determine the cause of the abnormality.
2. Reproductive hormone examination
Reproductive hormone test is one of the common test items in the third-generation IVF hospitals. By detecting female estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, etc., the hospital can understand the patients' ovarian function and the normality of their menstrual cycle. The secretion of these hormones is crucial for ovarian ovulation and pregnancy.
For men, the hospital will carry out testosterone, testosterone and other tests to assess whether the testicular function is normal. The secretion of these hormones is crucial for the production and maturation of sperm.
3. Genetic condition inspection
In the treatment of third-generation test tube babies, the hospital will also carry out genetic status checks to understand whether patients have the risk of genetic diseases. This includes genetic testing of both spouses to determine whether there are carriers of genetic diseases. If both parties are found to carry the gene of a genetic disease, the hospital may recommend the patient to carry out genetic counseling and assess the risk of third-generation IVF treatment.
4. Psychological and social adaptability assessment
The third generation IVF treatment is a complex process for patients, so hospitals usually conduct psychological and social adaptability assessment to determine whether patients have psychological preparation and social support for this treatment.
Through psychological assessment, hospitals can understand patients' expectations for treatment, their ability to cope with pressure and their acceptance of possible results. Through social adaptability assessment, hospitals can understand whether patients have enough support and resources in their daily life to help them cope with possible challenges and difficulties in the treatment process.
Summary
The third generation IVF hospital needs to carry out a series of examinations before treatment, including infant reproductive system examination, reproductive hormone examination, genetic status examination and psychological and social adaptability assessment. These tests are designed to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for the third-generation IVF treatment, and to assess the risks and possible outcomes of the treatment. Through these examinations, hospitals can provide personalized treatment plans for patients and improve the success rate of treatment.
