Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which provides a chance for couples with fertility difficulties to conceive healthy babies. However, in the process of IVF, some details need to be paid attention to to ensure the maximum success rate and the health of mothers and infants. This article will elaborate on the details that should be paid attention to in the process of IVF from the following four aspects.
1. Select regular hospitals and professional doctors
IVF is a complex and sensitive medical technology, so it is very important to choose a regular hospital and professional doctors. Patients can understand the overall strength and professional level of the hospital by consulting the hospital's qualifications and technical achievements. In addition, it is recommended to choose doctors with rich experience and successful cases who can provide more professional advice and guidance to ensure that the IVF process is safer.
After selecting hospitals and doctors, patients need to communicate with doctors in detail to understand the steps, risks and possible results of the whole IVF process. Doctors should be able to clearly explain the results of the diagnosis and provide personalized treatment plans to ensure the success of the IVF process.
Finally, patients should also consider hospital facilities and services. A good IVF center should have specialized laboratory and surgical equipment that can provide comprehensive testing and treatment services. In addition, the service team of the hospital should answer patients' questions in a friendly and patient manner and provide necessary psychological support.
2. Inspection and preparation
In the process of IVF, patients need to carry out a series of physical examinations and examinations to determine whether IVF technology is suitable. These tests usually include blood and urine tests, reproductive system tests, endometrial thickness tests, etc. Through these examinations, doctors can assess the patient's physical condition and develop personalized treatment plans.
After the examination, the patient needs to make reasonable preparations according to the doctor's instructions. This includes weight control, lifestyle adjustment, avoidance of smoking and drinking, etc. In addition, doctors may also recommend that patients take some adjuvant drugs to enhance the possibility of pregnancy.
Finally, patients and partners should also be mentally prepared. The IVF process may face some physical and psychological pressure, so patients and partners need to support each other and maintain a positive attitude and good attitude.
3. Ovulation promotion and egg retrieval
The key steps of IVF process are ovulation promotion and egg retrieval. At this stage, doctors will inject patients with ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate ovarian development and ovulation. The doctor will regularly monitor the growth of follicles to determine the best time to retrieve eggs.
Egg retrieval is usually guided by transvaginal ultrasound. The doctor will puncture the ovary through a vaginal injection needle under local anesthesia to take out the mature eggs. This process may cause some discomfort, but it is usually tolerable. After taking the eggs, they will be sent to the laboratory for fertilization and culture.
During the egg retrieval process, patients need to keep adequate rest and avoid strenuous exercise and stress. In addition, patients should also follow the doctor's advice and take drugs on time to ensure the smooth progress of fertilization and embryonic development.
4. Embryo transfer and blastocyst preservation
After a period of culture and development, the doctor will select the best one or two embryos to transplant into the patient's uterus. This process is usually guided by transvaginal ultrasound, which is relatively simple and painless. After embryo transfer, patients need to rest for a period of time to avoid strenuous activities.
In a period of time after embryo transfer, patients also need regular medical monitoring and evaluation. Doctors may recommend that patients take some adjuvant drugs to help implantation and embryonic development. After a successful pregnancy, the doctor will also provide appropriate pregnancy management and health care guidance.
For embryos that have not been transferred, patients can choose to store them in the freezer. In this way, if the first transfer fails or the patient wants to become pregnant again, frozen embryos can be used for retransplantation. The storage time of frozen embryos is limited, so patients need to consult and make decisions with doctors.
summary
In the process of IVF, attention should be paid to such details as the selection of regular hospitals and professional doctors, examination and preparation, ovulation promotion and oocyte retrieval, embryo transfer and blastocyst preservation. Through detailed communication, good preparation and reasonable treatment, the success rate of IVF and the health of mothers and infants can be maximized.
