Test Method for Ascites in Test Tube Infants
Test tube baby ascites refers to the accumulation of excessive fluid in the abdominal cavity of the fetus in the mother's uterus, which may be caused by internal fetal dysplasia or other physical abnormalities. In order to make a timely and accurate diagnosis of test tube baby ascites, doctors usually use a series of inspection methods. Several aspects of test tube baby ascites examination will be introduced in detail below.
1. B-ultrasonic inspection
B-ultrasound (ultrasonic examination) is a non-invasive, radiation free examination method, commonly used in the diagnosis of test tube baby ascites. Through B-ultrasound examination, doctors can observe the real-time image of the fetal abdomen and understand the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. B-ultrasound can provide approximate ascites volume, location, nature and other information, which is helpful for preliminary diagnosis of the cause of ascites in test tube infants.
Usually, B ultrasonic examination needs to be completed in the ultrasonic department of the hospital. The doctor will apply conductive gel to the abdomen, and then use the probe to check. The examination process is not painful, but it needs to hold urine to obtain clearer images.
2. Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a method of amniotic fluid collection through peritoneal puncture, which is very helpful for the diagnosis of test tube infant ascites. In the operating room, the doctor will inject anesthetic into the abdomen of the pregnant woman, and then use a slender needle to puncture the amniotic membrane to take out the amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid taken out will be sent to the laboratory for testing to understand the composition and cell conditions.
Amniocentesis is a risky operation, which should be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors. The doctor will judge whether the examination is necessary according to the specific situation.
3. Ascites extraction
Ascites extraction is a method to collect ascites samples for examination by puncturing abdominal ascites cysts. This examination method can determine the nature, etiology and other relevant information of ascites, which is very helpful for the diagnosis of test tube baby ascites.
In the operating room of the hospital, the doctor will inject anesthetic into the abdomen of the patient, and then use a slender needle to puncture the abdominal cavity for ascites extraction. The ascites samples will be sent to the laboratory for testing.
4. Gene testing
Gene detection also plays an important role in the detection of test tube baby ascites. Through gene detection of chromosome abnormalities, we can determine whether there are chromosome abnormalities in the IVF fetus, which may cause ascites.
Gene testing generally requires prenatal genetic counseling and is carried out in professional hospitals or laboratories. Doctors will select appropriate gene detection methods according to specific conditions, such as amniotic fluid cell chromosome analysis.
Summary
The test tube baby ascites examination includes B ultrasound, amniocentesis, ascites extraction and gene detection. In the specific diagnosis process, the doctor will choose the appropriate examination method according to the specific situation of the patient, so as to find and determine the cause of ascites as soon as possible. These examination methods have been widely used in some real hospitals, providing an important reference for the diagnosis and treatment of test tube baby ascites.
