Preparations for IVF egg retrieval
IVF technology is a very good choice for infertile couples. The IVF egg retrieval is one of the key steps. Let's take a look at the preparations for IVF egg retrieval.
First of all, infertile couples need to consult and see a doctor in a regular reproductive medical center. The doctor will make a comprehensive assessment of the couple's physical condition, including the woman's ovarian function, uterine condition, and the man's sperm quality. According to the evaluation results, the doctor will formulate the corresponding treatment plan.
Next, the woman needs to carry out a series of examinations to determine the ovarian function and the health of the reproductive system. Common examination items include blood examination, endocrine examination, pelvic ultrasound, etc. These tests can help doctors to understand the development of the woman's follicles and whether her ovaries are ready to lay eggs.
In addition, the woman also needs to monitor the menstrual cycle to determine the best time to retrieve eggs. Usually, from the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation, by monitoring the size and number of follicles, doctors can determine the development of the ovaries, so as to determine the appropriate time for egg retrieval.
Specific process of IVF egg retrieval
IVF egg retrieval is an invasive operation that needs to be performed under anesthesia. The following is the specific process of egg retrieval.
First, doctors will use ultrasound technology to guide a slender needle through the vagina into the ovary. Then, the needle will pass through the ovarian wall, enter the follicle, and extract the eggs.
In order to improve the success rate of egg retrieval, doctors will use both ultrasound and aspirator. The ultrasound instrument can display the position and size of the follicle in real time, and the aspirator can extract the egg. This process usually takes several minutes to dozens of minutes. The number of eggs retrieved depends on the development of the ovary and the age of the woman.
After the operation, the doctor will transfer the eggs to the laboratory for cultivation and preparation. At the same time, the woman needs to recover for a period of time, and usually only needs to rest for a few hours before leaving the hospital.
Postoperative care and precautions
After the operation, the woman needs to follow some nursing and precautions to help the ovarian recovery and improve the pregnancy success rate.
First, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. Within a few days after the operation, the woman needs to rest and keep in a relaxed state to reduce the stimulation to the ovary and promote the wound healing.
At the same time, the woman also needs to take medication according to the doctor's advice. These drugs can help the ovary recover its normal function as soon as possible, and promote the maturation and excretion of eggs.
In addition, the woman also needs regular follow-up visits to check the follicular development and ovulation. The doctor will adjust the follow-up treatment plan according to the inspection results to ensure the smooth progress of the egg retrieval process.
Summary of IVF egg retrieval
IVF egg retrieval is a complicated and important procedure. Determine the best time for egg retrieval through comprehensive evaluation and inspection of preparation. During the operation, doctors use the cooperation of ultrasound technology and aspirator to ensure the accurate extraction of eggs. After the operation, the woman needs to follow the doctor's guidance for recovery and nursing to improve the success rate of IVF.
If couples hope to realize their reproductive dreams through IVF, it is recommended to choose a formal reproductive medical center and carry out relevant treatment under the guidance of doctors to ensure safety and effectiveness.
