Precautions during IVF
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, and many couples choose this way to overcome fertility barriers. However, there are some things that need to be paid attention to during IVF to ensure the success rate and health status. This article will introduce the matters needing attention in the process of IVF from four aspects.
Hospital selection
First, it is very important to choose a formal and experienced hospital. Because IVF requires complex operation and precise technology, it is essential to choose a hospital with senior doctors and professional teams. Hospital reputation, success rate and patient evaluation are important indicators for selection. For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one of the well-known IVF hospitals in China. It has advanced equipment and professional teams and is committed to providing high-quality assisted reproductive services.
Secondly, it is also important to understand the relevant policies and costs of the hospital. The IVF process usually requires multiple operations and cycles, so it is critical for couples to understand the refund policy and cost structure of the hospital. Before choosing a hospital, consulting the hospital staff can help couples understand all relevant costs and policies.
Preoperative preparation
Before IVF, there are some preparations that need attention. First, couples need to undergo a series of physical examinations, including genetic testing, reproductive system testing and hormone level testing. These examinations can help doctors assess the causes of fertility disorders in couples and formulate appropriate treatment plans.
Secondly, couples need to follow the doctor's advice and adjust their living habits and diet. For example, reduce caffeine and alcohol intake, quit smoking and avoid overeating. These adjustments help to improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, couples need to be mentally prepared. The IVF process may require multiple attempts and a long cycle, so couples need to be patient and positive. It is also beneficial to participate in psychological counseling or seek support from support groups.
Operation
The operation of IVF needs to strictly follow the guidance and requirements of doctors. First, women need ovarian stimulation and superovulation treatment to promote the development of multiple eggs. The doctor will monitor the growth of follicles to determine the best time for egg collection.
Then, the doctor will conduct an egg collection operation under the vaginal endoscope in the female ovary. This is a minimally invasive surgery, which requires women to perform under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Doctors collect eggs through guide wire and aspirator, and then combine them with sperm in the laboratory.
Finally, the fertilized egg is implanted into the female uterus. This step is usually completed in vitro by transferring the fertilized egg into the female uterus. Doctors will select the best embryo implantation according to the quality of eggs and embryos.
Postoperative care
After IVF operation, postoperative nursing is also very important. Couples need to follow the doctor's advice and pay special attention to rest and diet. It is also necessary to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting to prevent damage to the implantation of fertilized eggs.
In addition, regular return visits to hospitals are also essential. The doctor will adjust the medication and observe the development of the fertilized egg according to the patient's condition. Regular reexamination can help doctors find any problems in time and take corresponding measures.
summary
IVF is a complex and precise process, which provides hope for many couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations. Choosing a regular hospital, preoperative preparation, surgical operation and postoperative care are all important matters that need attention in the process of IVF. Only the close cooperation between the couple and the doctor can improve the success rate of IVF and ensure the healthy development of the baby.
