What are the contents of IVF test items
IVF refers to a method of cultivating fertilized eggs in the laboratory and implanting them into the mother through assisted reproduction technology, so that infertile or difficult to conceive couples can achieve fertility. The examination items of IVF are necessary procedures to ensure the health of the embryo and the proper physical condition of the mother. IVF test items usually include the following aspects:
1. Male reproductive system inspection
Male reproductive system examination is an important item to determine whether a man's fertility and sexual function are normal. Common male reproductive system examinations include:
1. Semen analysis: male fertility is evaluated by analyzing the number, vitality, morphology and other relevant indicators of sperm in semen.
2. Ultrasonography of testis: observe the structure and function of testis through ultrasonic technology to check whether there are testicular abnormalities, tumors and other problems.
3. Sperm DNA fragment detection: detect the damage degree of sperm DNA and evaluate the genetic quality of sperm.
The male reproductive system examination helps doctors understand the male reproductive system, and provides a basis for the development of treatment plans.
2. Female reproductive system inspection
The examination of female reproductive system is an important step to evaluate the fertility of women and eliminate potential infertility factors. Common female reproductive system inspection items include:
1. Gynecological examination: to evaluate the gynaecological health of the woman by examining the shape, size and position of the uterus, ovary, cervix and other organs.
2. Uterine and fallopian tube patency inspection: check whether the uterine and fallopian tubes are unobstructed through ultrasound, X-ray and other technologies, and eliminate problems such as fallopian tube blockage.
3. Endocrine examination: check the estrogen, progesterone, gonadotropin and other endocrine indicators of the woman to determine whether the ovulation function and menstrual cycle are normal.
The female reproductive system examination can help to find and eliminate problems that may affect pregnancy, and provide a basis for making personalized treatment plans.
3. Embryo health examination
Embryo health examination is an important part of IVF technology, which aims to screen healthy embryos and improve the success rate of pregnancy. Common embryo health examination items include:
1. Embryo chromosome screening: The implantation of embryos with chromosomal abnormalities is excluded by obtaining embryo cell samples and conducting chromosome examination.
2. Evaluation of embryo quality: evaluate the quality of embryos by observing the morphology, development, cell division speed and other indicators of embryos.
3. Detection of biochemical indicators: assess the vitality and development potential of the embryo by detecting the metabolites in the embryo culture medium.
The purpose of embryo health examination is to select healthy embryos and improve the success rate of IVF.
4. Maternal physical examination
The purpose of maternal physical examination is to ensure that the mother is in good health and can successfully carry out and conceive the fetus during pregnancy. Common maternal physical examination items include:
1. Gynecological disease screening: check whether there are potential gynecological diseases such as hysteromyoma, endometriosis and cervicitis.
2. Thyroid function examination: evaluate whether the thyroid hormone level is normal, and exclude the adverse effects of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism on pregnancy.
3. Screening of infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS: check whether there are infectious diseases such as hepatitis B virus and AIDS virus, so as to formulate corresponding prevention and intervention measures.
Maternal physical examination helps to ensure the safety of IVF, and identify and deal with existing health problems in advance.
Summary
The examination items of IVF include male reproductive system examination, female reproductive system examination, embryo health examination and maternal physical condition examination. The male reproductive system examination mainly focuses on the male's fertility and reproductive system health. The female reproductive system examination mainly evaluates the female's gynecological health and fertility. The purpose of the embryo health examination is to screen healthy embryos, and the maternal health examination is to ensure the maternal health. The completion of these inspection items can improve the success rate of IVF and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants.
