1、 Embryo morphological examination
In the process of Shantou IVF, embryo morphology examination is a very critical examination. This examination is mainly to observe the morphological structure of the embryo through a microscope and evaluate it. A famous test tube baby hospital in Shantou, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Shantou People's Hospital, will use micro implantation technology to combine a microscope with a microinjector. Under a magnified microscope, doctors can clearly observe the development of embryos, cell division and morphological characteristics. This examination can help doctors judge the health of embryos, exclude embryos with abnormal development, and improve the success rate of embryo transfer.
Embryo morphological examination is generally carried out on the third, fifth and seventh days of embryo culture. Doctors will judge the health of an embryo according to its cell number, cell morphology and other indicators. In case of abnormalities such as abnormal cells, cell fragmentation or insufficient number of cells, the doctor may suggest abandoning the embryo transfer and choosing other healthy embryos. Therefore, embryo morphology examination is very important for screening the most suitable embryos for transplantation.
In addition, in the process of embryo morphological examination, doctors also need to pay attention to the location of embryo implantation and embryo division. This information is very important for the location of transferred embryos and the understanding of embryo development dynamics. Through embryo morphology inspection, Shantou IVF Hospital can better ensure the quality of embryos and the success rate of transplantation.
2、 Gene testing
In the process of Shantou IVF, gene testing is one of the essential inspection items. Gene detection is mainly to extract the DNA of embryonic cells, analyze it, and detect whether there are some specific gene mutations, genetic diseases, etc. Through gene testing, couples can understand the carrier status, avoid the birth of sick children, and improve the probability of reproductive health.
Shantou's Reproductive Medicine Center will use the latest gene detection technologies, such as whole genome sequencing, SNP chip, etc., to comprehensively detect the genes of embryos. These techniques can detect gene mutations in thousands of diseases, including chromosome abnormalities, single gene diseases, polygene diseases, etc. Gene testing can not only help doctors screen out embryos carrying diseased genes, but also provide personalized genetic counseling, help couples better understand genetic risks, and formulate reasonable birth plans.
Gene detection is of great significance in the process of Shantou IVF. Couples can screen healthy embryos through gene testing, reduce the incidence of neonatal genetic diseases, and ensure the health of IVF.
3、 Hormone test
Hormone test is one of the important links in Shantou IVF. In the process of IVF, hormone level is very important for women's ovulation and endometrial preparation, so hormone needs to be checked to ensure that the hormone level is in an appropriate range.
Shantou's IVF Hospital will conduct hormone tests by collecting blood samples from women. Common hormone tests include estrogen, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone, etc. These hormones play different roles in different cycles. By checking the hormone level, doctors can understand the condition of women's ovarian function, adjust the dosage and use time of hormone, improve the effect of ovarian stimulation, and increase the probability of successful ovulation and transplantation.
Hormone tests can also assess the thickness and quality of the endometrium. Too low or too high hormone levels will affect the development of endometrium and the implantation of fertilized eggs. Through hormone examination, we can determine the best time for endometrial development and improve the success rate of IVF.
4、 Examination of genital tract
Reproductive tract examination is an important part of Shantou IVF preparation. This inspection is mainly to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the female reproductive tract to find out whether there are abnormalities in the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, etc.
Shantou IVF Hospital usually uses ultrasonic technology to check the reproductive tract. The doctor will insert the ultrasonic probe into the vagina and observe the morphological changes of the uterus, fallopian tube and ovary through the ultrasonic image. This non-invasive and painless examination method can conduct detailed and accurate observation and evaluation of the reproductive tract.
Through reproductive tract inspection, doctors can find out whether there are uterine malformations, tubal obstruction, ovarian cysts and other problems. If abnormal conditions are found, doctors can carry out targeted treatment to improve the success rate of IVF.
To sum up, in the process of Shantou IVF, embryo morphology, gene testing, hormone testing and reproductive tract testing are required. These tests can help doctors understand the health status and genetic risks of embryos, adjust hormone levels and treatment plans, and improve the success rate of IVF. Shantou IVF Hospital will use advanced technical equipment and standardized operating procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the examination results when conducting these examinations.
