What tests are needed for IVF follicular reduction
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which is a hope for those couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, some women may face reduced follicles in IVF, which will affect the possibility of successful pregnancy. In order to solve this problem, doctors usually recommend a series of examinations to understand the diagnosis and develop corresponding treatment plans.
1. Foundation inspection
Doctors usually perform some basic tests before performing tests related to IVF follicular reduction. This includes gynecological examination and endocrine examination.
Gynecological examination can help doctors understand whether there are abnormalities in women's reproductive organs, such as uterine malformations, endometrial polyps, etc. At the same time, the doctor will also check the shape and size of the uterus through palpation and B-ultrasound.
Endocrine examination is to understand the ovarian function of women. Doctors usually check the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, progesterone and other hormones, as well as the concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and antimicrobol hormone (AMH).
2. Determination of follicle stimulating hormone level
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a major regulator during follicular development. By measuring the level of FSH, doctors can assess the development of female follicles and ovarian function. A high level of FSH may mean that ovarian function is impaired, while a normal or low level of FSH may mean that ovarian function is normal.
FSH levels are usually measured on specific days of menstruation in order to obtain accurate results. According to the examination results, doctors can further develop appropriate treatment schemes, such as hormone therapy or other assisted reproductive technologies.
3. Evaluation of follicle number
The main purpose of follicle number assessment is to determine the number of follicles in the ovary. This is usually done by ultrasonic monitoring. The doctor will perform an ultrasound examination on specific days of the menstrual cycle to determine the number of follicles visible in the ovary.
Normally, mature follicles usually appear a few days before ovulation and are stimulated and released by LH. A decrease in the number of follicles may indicate poor ovarian function or ovulation problems. Based on the evaluation of the number of follicles, doctors will decide on appropriate treatment measures, such as hormone therapy or IVF technology.
4. Inspection of oviduct patency
The inspection of oviduct patency is an important step to eliminate oviduct problems. The fallopian tube is the place where eggs and sperm meet. If there is a problem with the fallopian tube, fertilization cannot be carried out. Some common fallopian tube problems include fallopian tube blockage, hydrosalpinx, etc.
The inspection of oviduct patency is usually completed by ultrasound or contrast agent. Ultrasound can be used to observe whether there is abnormal fluid accumulation or other abnormal conditions in the fallopian tube. Contrast media examination can more clearly show the patency of fallopian tubes.
summary
In vitro baby folliculopenia is a common reproductive health problem, which affects the possibility of pregnancy. To solve this problem, doctors usually carry out basic examinations, such as gynecological examination and endocrine examination. In addition, the determination of follicle stimulating hormone level, the evaluation of follicle number and the inspection of oviduct patency are also required. The purpose of these examinations is to understand the specific problems and formulate corresponding treatment plans to improve the success rate of IVF.
