Zhaotong IVF operation process
IVF, also known as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or assisted reproductive technology, is a method of processing eggs and sperm in the laboratory, and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus, to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological or reproductive problems realize their reproductive dreams. The main process of Zhaotong IVF operation will be introduced in detail below.
Patient assessment and preparation
Before IVF surgery, doctors need to evaluate and prepare patients. This includes a comprehensive examination of the couple's physical condition to find out whether there are genetic diseases, reproductive system diseases or other potential fertility problems. In addition, it is also necessary to understand the reproductive cycle and ovulation of women and evaluate the semen quality of men.
In the preparation stage, the doctor will also discuss in detail with the couple the risks and success rate of IVF surgery, as well as other possible alternatives. They will answer the couple's questions and help them make decisions.
If the doctor determines that IVF surgery is the best choice, the patient will formally begin to receive preoperative preparation.
Ovulation induction and ovarian stimulation
The next step in IVF surgery is ovulation induction and ovarian stimulation. This is to increase the number and quality of eggs and improve the success rate. Usually, women will receive medication to stimulate their ovaries to produce more eggs.
Doctors monitor follicular growth and ovarian hormone levels through ultrasound and blood tests. Once the follicles have developed enough, doctors will use egg collection techniques to remove the eggs.
Fertilization and embryo culture
The removed eggs will be fertilized together with sperm in the laboratory. This can be achieved through traditional IVF or ICSI technology. The traditional IVF method is to put sperm and several eggs together in a Petri dish and let them naturally fertilize. ICSI technology is to inject a single sperm into an egg to increase the success rate of fertilization.
After fertilization, the embryo will be cultured in the laboratory for several days until it reaches a sufficient development stage. Doctors will select the best embryos for transplantation according to the quality and quantity of embryos.
Embryo transfer and follow-up monitoring
Finally, the embryo will be transplanted into a woman's uterus. The transfer process usually does not require anesthesia, just use a thin tube to gently place the embryo into the uterus. After that, women need to rest for a period of time to avoid strenuous exercise and mental stress to improve the success rate of embryo implantation.
After a period of time, the patient will receive a blood test to test whether she is pregnant successfully. If the test result is positive, the IVF operation is successful. At this time, the doctor will continue to provide additional monitoring and follow-up to ensure the safety of mother and child.
In Zhaotong, there are some regular hospitals that provide IVF surgery services, such as Zhaotong Maternity Hospital and Zhaotong People's Hospital. Patients can choose the appropriate hospital for surgery according to their own needs and conditions.
Summary
Zhaotong IVF is an advanced assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological or reproductive problems. The surgical procedures mainly include patient assessment and preparation, ovulation induction and ovarian stimulation, fertilization and embryo culture, as well as embryo transfer and follow-up monitoring. Before choosing a hospital in Zhaotong for IVF surgery, patients should be properly consulted and evaluated to ensure the success and safety of the surgery.
