Required items for IVF test
Test tube babies are babies bred in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology. It is very important to conduct a comprehensive examination for such babies to ensure their healthy and normal development. The necessary items of IVF inspection will be described in the following four aspects: pre pregnancy inspection, pregnancy inspection, inspection after embryo transfer and inspection after birth.
Pre pregnancy examination
Before IVF treatment, both husband and wife must undergo a comprehensive pre pregnancy examination to determine whether IVF technology is suitable. These inspections include the following aspects:
First, semen analysis. The man needs to provide semen samples for semen analysis to detect the number, vitality, morphology and other indicators of sperm.
Second, gynecological examination of the woman. The woman needs to carry out gynecological examination, including gynecological disease screening, examination of uterus shape and size, and evaluation of ovarian function.
Third, reproductive endocrine examination. Evaluate whether the reproductive endocrine function of both men and women is normal through blood and urine examination.
Pregnancy examination
After IVF pregnancy is successful, women need to receive regular pregnancy examinations to ensure the normal development of the fetus. The following are common pregnancy examination items:
First, maternal obstetric examination. It includes the measurement of pregnant women's weight, blood pressure, abdominal circumference and observation of fetal development by B-ultrasound.
Second, blood test. Check the blood type, hemoglobin level, blood sugar, progesterone and other indicators of pregnant women, and check whether there is virus infection.
Third, fetal gene testing. Through amniocentesis or non-invasive gene detection, the genetic diseases of the fetus are screened to ensure the health of the fetus.
Examination after embryo transfer
After embryo transfer, a series of examinations are required to ensure successful embryo implantation and maintain the healthy development of the embryo:
First, implantation examination. The level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in blood was measured to determine whether the embryo was successfully implanted.
Second, ultrasonic inspection. The development of embryos, including the number and size of embryos and fetal heart rate, was observed by ultrasonic examination.
Third, luteal function examination. To detect progesterone level and evaluate whether the luteal function is normal, so as to ensure the healthy development of embryos.
Postnatal examination
After birth, IVF babies still need to undergo a series of examinations to ensure their health and normal development:
First, neonatal obstetric examination. It includes observing the weight, length, head circumference and cardiopulmonary auscultation of the newborn to assess the overall condition of the newborn.
Second, newborn hearing screening. Through hearing screening, early detection and intervention of hearing disorders can ensure the hearing development of newborns.
Third, metabolic disease screening. Through blood examination, screen whether the newborn has metabolic diseases, such as phenylketonuria.
Summary
The necessary items of IVF examination mainly include pre pregnancy examination, pregnancy examination, examination after embryo transfer and examination after birth. These examinations can ensure the healthy and normal development of IVF. Pre pregnancy examination is to determine whether the husband and wife are suitable for IVF technology; The purpose of pregnancy examination is to ensure the normal development of the fetus; The examination after embryo transfer is to confirm the success of embryo implantation and maintain the healthy development of the embryo; Postnatal examination is to ensure the health of test tube babies. Through comprehensive inspection, the healthy growth of IVF can be guaranteed.
