Test tube baby inspection items
IVF is to cultivate the fertilized eggs in the laboratory through artificial conception, and implant healthy embryos into the mother for pregnancy and delivery. In order to ensure the success rate of IVF and the health of infants, hospitals usually carry out a series of examinations. The following are some common IVF test items.
Basic inspection items
The basic examination items of IVF are mainly to evaluate whether the patient is suitable for IVF and to develop a suitable treatment plan. First, the doctor will conduct a detailed medical history inquiry and a comprehensive physical examination to understand the basic situation and health status of the patient. Then, the doctor will carry out a series of laboratory tests, including blood routine, hepatitis B virus surface antigen, HIV virus testing, etc., to exclude potential infectious diseases or other health problems.
In addition, IVF treatment usually requires the use of assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization or embryo cryopreservation. Therefore, doctors will also carry out relevant reproductive system examinations, including endometrial thickness, endometrial polyps, oviduct patency, etc. These basic examination items can help doctors assess the fertility potential of patients and develop personalized treatment plans.
Genetic inspection items
Genetic examination is an indispensable part of IVF, mainly to screen and eliminate potential genetic diseases. Common genetic examination items include:
1. Gene detection: By analyzing the genomes of patients or couples, we can predict whether patients or embryos carry the risk of certain genetic diseases.
2. PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis): early genetic detection of embryos. Before embryo implantation, analyze whether there are some genetic diseases in the embryos by sampling.
3. Genetic counseling: doctors will conduct genetic counseling with patients or couples, answer questions about genetic diseases in detail, and provide appropriate genetic counseling and advice.
Hormone test items
Hormone testing is an essential part of IVF treatment, mainly for monitoring and regulating the hormone level of patients. In the process of IVF treatment, the appropriate level of hormone is crucial for ovarian development and embryo implantation.
Common hormone examination items include:
1. Concentration of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH): used to evaluate ovarian function and follicular development.
2. Measurement of endometrial thickness: monitor the thickening of endometrium to determine the best time for embryo implantation.
3. Endometrial biopsy: check the pathological characteristics of endometrial tissue to determine whether the patient's endometrium is suitable for embryo implantation.
Embryo evaluation project
In IVF treatment, embryo evaluation is a very important step, which can improve the embryo acquisition rate and pregnancy rate. Common embryo evaluation items include:
1. Embryo quality assessment: assess the quality and potential of embryos by observing their morphology and development.
2. Gene examination: PGD or PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) is used to detect whether there are genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo.
3. Frozen embryo recovery: The frozen embryos are recovered, and the embryo quality is evaluated and the appropriate embryo implantation status is restored.
summary
Test tube baby examination items include basic examination, genetic examination, hormone examination and embryo evaluation. Through these examination items, doctors can evaluate the suitability of patients, screen genetic diseases, monitor hormone levels, and evaluate the quality and potential of embryos. These examinations help to improve the success rate of IVF and the health of infants, and provide a strong guarantee for patients to achieve healthy reproduction.
