Effect of IVF medical treatment on men
IVF medical treatment is one of the important breakthroughs in modern reproductive medicine. It provides a hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Although IVF treatment mainly involves women's bodies, men also play an important role in the whole process.
Semen collection and storage
The first step of IVF medical treatment is semen collection, and men need to do it in the room designated by the hospital. Generally, hospitals provide an environment similar to a hotel room, allowing men to collect semen in a comfortable and private environment. This is not easy for many men because semen collection needs to be of high quality and sufficient quantity within a certain time.
In order to ensure the quality of semen samples, men are required to follow some rules and requirements. This includes avoiding sex, drinking and smoking before collection, and following the doctor's instructions. In addition, the male also needs to sign a consent letter authorizing the hospital to use semen samples during diagnosis and treatment.
For many men, implementing these requirements and rules can be a difficult task. However, the success of IVF medical treatment depends largely on the quality and availability of semen samples, so men need to understand and strictly abide by these regulations.
Hormone therapy and surgery
In some cases, men may need hormone therapy or surgery to improve their fertility. Hormone therapy can help men increase the quantity and quality of sperm, thus improving the success rate of IVF medical treatment. This treatment usually involves the use of hormone drugs to stimulate the testes to produce more sperm.
Surgical intervention is usually used to solve male fertility problems, such as varicocele or obstructive azoospermia. These operations include ligation of spermatic vein, repair of testicular varicocele and repair of ejaculatory catheter. These operations are designed to correct or eliminate problems that prevent sperm from reaching semen.
Through hormone therapy and surgery, men can improve their chances of participating in IVF medical treatment and increase the possibility of successful pregnancy.
Psychological and emotional influences
The influence of IVF medical treatment on men is not only limited to the physiological level, but also involves the psychological and emotional levels. Many men may face pressure and anxiety from family, society and heart. They may feel remorse and think that they are the reason why couples cannot conceive naturally.
In addition, the whole IVF medical process may require a long wait and uncertainty, which may further increase the pressure on men. They need to understand and support their wives' emotional fluctuations throughout the process and become their supporters.
Therefore, men play an important role in IVF medical treatment. They need to pay attention not only to their own fertility, but also to their wives' emotions and needs. Through communication and support, couples can jointly overcome the challenges of IVF medical treatment.
Birth and rearing of infants
The success of IVF medical treatment is closely related to the quality and availability of male sperm. Once the wife succeeds in conceiving, the man will become the father of a newborn baby. He will assume the responsibility of caring for and raising the baby.
Men need to adapt to the arrival of the newborn and take care of the children with their wives. This may involve taking the child to a children's hospital for routine examinations and participating in the daily care of the baby, such as feeding and changing diapers.
In addition, men also need to establish a close relationship with their children and become their role models and supporters. They need to provide love and care, and strive to cultivate children's health and happiness.
Summary:
IVF medical treatment has a broad impact on men. Men need to participate in the semen collection and storage process and follow the hospital's regulations. In some cases, hormone therapy and surgery may be necessary to improve fertility. In the whole process, men need to cope with psychological and emotional pressure and become supporters of their wives. Once the baby is successfully conceived, the man will become the father of the baby and assume the responsibility of caring for and raising the baby.
In general, IVF medical treatment is not only the result of joint efforts of husband and wife, but also the embodiment of social progress. The participation and support of men in the whole process is crucial to the success of IVF medical treatment.
