The size of test tube baby's follicle can be expanded by night injection
IVF refers to the process of pregnancy and delivery by culturing the fertilized eggs in vitro to a certain stage through assisted reproductive technology, and then implanting them into the uterus of pregnant women. In the process of IVF, the first step of egg collection is to inject night needles to expand the follicles. Night acupuncture is a commonly used ovulation promoting drug, which can promote the growth and development of follicles and provide conditions for egg collection. However, not all follicles of all sizes can be enlarged by night acupuncture. Next, we will elaborate on the relevant issues of how large the test tube baby's follicle can be expanded by night acupuncture from four aspects: follicle size, follicle number, follicle quality and hospital examples.
Follicle size
Follicle refers to the follicle in the female ovary where eggs are stored. The size of follicles is directly related to the development and quality of eggs. In the process of IVF, it is generally believed that the diameter of mature follicles should reach about 18-20 mm. At this time, a large vacuole has formed inside the egg. At this time, night acupuncture can promote the continuous development of follicles and increase the maturity of eggs.
In addition, the size of follicles needs to be considered in combination with individual conditions. Because everyone's physiology is different, the size of the follicle will also be different. Generally speaking, when the follicle diameter reaches about 14-15 mm, the hormone level can be monitored to determine whether the night acupuncture can be used to expand the follicle.
However, the size of the follicle is not the only factor that determines the expansion time of night injection. In addition to the size of follicles, the number and quality of follicles should also be considered.
Number of follicles
In the process of IVF, the number of follicles is also an important factor in expanding follicles. Normally, the ovary will naturally develop multiple follicles, but only one follicle can mature. Therefore, before IVF, doctors will determine the number of eggs available for collection in the ovary through ultrasound examination.
Generally speaking, at least two mature follicles are required to continue treatment. If there is only one mature follicle, treatment can sometimes be considered. Therefore, before night acupuncture to expand follicles, doctors usually determine the number of follicles through ultrasound examination, so as to decide whether to conduct ovulation induction treatment.
Follicle quality
In addition to the size and number of follicles, the quality of follicles is also an important factor affecting the expansion of follicles by night acupuncture. The quality of follicles mainly refers to the development and maturity of eggs and the morphology and structure of internal vacuoles.
Through ultrasonic monitoring and blood hormone detection, doctors can assess the quality of follicles. Generally speaking, follicles with normal shape, moderate diameter and high maturation of internal oocytes have better quality. Such follicles can be expanded, and the eggs in them can be collected for IVF treatment.
Hospital examples and summary
Taking a real hospital as an example, doctors will conduct detailed physical examination and ultrasound examination before IVF to determine the patient's ovarian condition. Generally speaking, when the follicle diameter reaches 14-15mm, hormone level monitoring can be started to determine whether to expand the follicle by night acupuncture. At the same time, the doctor will evaluate the number and quality of follicles to determine whether the conditions for treatment are available.
To sum up, the problem of how large the IVF follicle can be enlarged by night injection is a process of comprehensive consideration of complex factors. The size, number and quality of follicles are all factors that need comprehensive evaluation. Only under the guidance of doctors and according to individual conditions can we determine whether to carry out night acupuncture to expand follicles, so as to improve the success rate of IVF and bring hope for patients to realize their reproductive dreams.
