What are the procedures for IVF hospitals?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to infertility and other reasons to achieve their reproductive aspirations. IVF Hospital is a special institution for IVF treatment, which usually carries out relevant inspection and operation according to a series of procedures. The four main processes of IVF hospital will be introduced in detail below.
1. Preliminary inspection process
Before going to the IVF hospital for treatment, couples need to carry out a series of preliminary examinations to determine whether IVF treatment is suitable. The first is to carry out a return visit to the birth history and physical condition assessment to understand the basic situation and medical history of the patient. Next is routine gynecological examination, including endocrine level test, gynecological disease screening, etc. For men, semen analysis and male reproductive system examination are required. At the same time, genetic counseling and testing are also needed to eliminate the possibility of genetic diseases.
If the preliminary examination results are normal, the couple will enter the next step of the treatment preparation process.
2. Treatment preparation process
In the treatment preparation process, the IVF hospital will conduct more detailed examination and evaluation of the couple to determine the best treatment plan. The first is the evaluation of women's ovarian function. The status of ovarian function is evaluated through ultrasound examination, endocrine level detection and other methods. For men, a more detailed semen analysis is needed to understand the quantity and quality of sperm.
Based on the evaluation results, doctors will develop individualized treatment plans, including drug treatment and surgical methods. Women need to be treated with ovulation promoters to increase the number of eggs. The man may need to perform semen extraction surgery to extract high-quality sperm for subsequent in vitro fertilization.
The treatment preparation process usually takes several months to ensure that the couple's physical condition and ovarian function are at their best.
3. In vitro fertilization process
In vitro fertilization is the core step of IVF treatment and one of the important processes of IVF hospital. The process mainly includes egg collection, sperm acquisition, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer.
First of all, doctors will conduct ovarian puncture to collect eggs during female ovulation, and fertilize the collected eggs in vitro with sperm provided by men. After successful fertilization, the embryo is cultured to a suitable state. According to the specific situation of the patient, the doctor will determine the best time and method of embryo transfer, transfer the embryo into the female uterus, and wait for implantation and pregnancy.
The whole IVF process needs strict operation and monitoring to ensure the quality of embryos and the success rate of transplantation.
4. Pregnancy management process
If the embryo is successfully implanted in the uterus and develops into a live fetus, the couple will enter the pregnancy management process. At this stage, the IVF Hospital will be responsible for monitoring the pregnancy and embryo development of pregnant women to ensure the health of mothers and babies.
The hospital will arrange regular prenatal examination during pregnancy to monitor the growth and health of the fetus by means of B-ultrasound examination, amniocentesis and other means. At the same time, it will also give pregnant women health care guidance, control diet and promote health.
When the pregnant woman successfully completed the pregnancy and delivered safely, the whole process of IVF was successfully completed.

These processes are guided and operated by professional doctors and technicians to ensure the success of IVF treatment and the health of mothers and infants.
