Necessity of IVF test
Since the first successful implementation of IVF technology in 1978, it has been widely used in many couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, the success rate of IVF is not 100%, so it is necessary to carry out a series of tests. This article will elaborate the necessity of IVF examination from four aspects, including gene examination, physical examination, blood examination and organ function examination.
1. Genetic examination
Gene examination is one of the first steps of the IVF program, and can help to determine whether there are chromosomal abnormalities or genetic diseases. This examination is usually carried out in the assisted reproduction center or the genetic counseling department of the hospital. The doctor will conduct gene testing by collecting blood samples from both the husband and wife. If the test results show that there is a risk of chromosomal abnormalities or genetic diseases, the couple can make decisions according to the situation, such as choosing to use the screening of fertilized eggs or considering other fertility methods.
Genetic examination can also help couples understand their genetic information and avoid the transmission of genetic diseases in the next generation. In addition, genetic examination can also help doctors to select suitable IVF technology and improve the success rate of IVF.
2. Physical examination
Before IVF, the couple must undergo a comprehensive physical examination. Physical examination includes general physical condition assessment, internal and external examination and gynecological examination. These examinations can ensure the health of the couple and exclude pathological conditions that may affect the success rate of IVF. In addition, physical examination is also helpful to assess the mother's fertility and uterine health, so as to ensure that the uterus can receive embryo transfer.
In addition, the man needs to conduct semen analysis to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. This is especially important for couples with low sperm fertilization ability, because it can help doctors choose the best fertilization method.
3. Blood examination
It is necessary to conduct blood tests before IVF, which can help doctors assess the health status of both couples and eliminate potential health problems. These tests usually include HIV/AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis B and other virus infection tests, as well as routine blood tests and thyroid function indicators evaluation.
HIV/AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis B and other viral infections have potential transmission risks in IVF procedures, so relevant tests are required. In addition, routine blood tests can help doctors assess the health of couples and provide a basis for guiding IVF procedures.
4. Organ function inspection
Before IVF, couples need to carry out a series of organ function tests, including ECG, renal function and liver function. The purpose of these examinations is to assess the physical condition of the couple, ensure normal organ function, and eliminate potential health problems affecting IVF.
For example, ECG can evaluate the heart health and exclude the adverse effects of heart disease on IVF process. The evaluation of renal function and liver function can help doctors determine the possible complications during treatment and take corresponding preventive measures.
Summary
According to the above four aspects, it can be concluded that the necessity of IVF examination cannot be ignored. Genetic examination can help couples understand genetic information and choose suitable fertility methods. Physical examination can ensure that couples are in good health and improve the success rate of IVF. Blood tests can eliminate potential health problems and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Organ function examination can evaluate the physical condition of the couple and ensure the safety of the operation process.
