Clinical operation process of test tube baby
IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. The clinical operation process of IVF will be described in detail below.
1. Preparatory stage
Before the clinical operation of IVF, doctors will conduct a series of examinations and evaluations on patients and spouses to determine their suitability for IVF technology. These examinations include gynecological examination, blood examination, semen analysis, follicle monitoring, etc.
Once it is determined that the patient is suitable for IVF technology, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan. This includes the use of ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate women to produce multiple eggs and increase the chance of pregnancy. At the same time, the spouse needs to provide fresh sperm samples for subsequent operations.
In addition, couples also need to undergo blood tests to ensure that they do not carry hereditary diseases, so as not to pass them on to the next generation.
2. Implantation stage
At this stage, doctors will obtain mature eggs from women's bodies. Usually, this is achieved by ultrasound guided ovarian puncture technology. The doctor will use a slender needle to puncture the ovary, and combine the egg with the sperm to culture for a period of time to promote fertilization.
The doctor will culture the fertilized egg to an appropriate stage, and then select the embryo with the most growth potential for transplantation. The transfer process is similar to endometrial sampling. Doctors will put the embryo into the female uterus in order to achieve a successful pregnancy.
Usually, doctors will transfer multiple embryos into the uterus to increase the probability of success. The remaining embryos can be frozen for future use.
3. Pregnancy monitoring stage
Once the transplantation is completed, women need to be monitored for pregnancy. This usually includes a weekly blood test to determine if the pregnancy was successful. Doctors may also conduct ultrasonic examination to observe the development of the embryo.
If the pregnancy is successful, the woman will continue to receive regular prenatal examination during pregnancy, and take appropriate diet, exercise and rest as recommended by the doctor. Doctors may also prescribe some supplements or drugs according to the specific conditions of pregnant women to ensure the health of the fetus.
4. Delivery and follow-up care
When a pregnant woman reaches term or meets the delivery standards, she will enter the stage of delivery. This is similar to the process of natural childbirth, which usually requires the labor of the mother. The doctor will decide whether to have a caesarean section according to the situation.
Once the baby is born, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the mother and baby to ensure that they are in good health. If the mother needs milk feeding or other special care, the doctor will provide corresponding guidance and advice.
To sum up, the clinical operation process of IVF has gone through comprehensive evaluation, treatment, implantation, pregnancy monitoring, delivery and other stages. Although the process may be complex, IVF technology provides the opportunity for couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their reproductive dreams.
