Detailed explanation of IVF transplantation process
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in infertile patients. The following will elaborate on the IVF transfer process from four aspects: patient selection, endometrial preparation, embryo transfer and follow-up monitoring.
Patient selection
The procedure of IVF transplantation first needs to select suitable patients, generally for couples with clear infertility conditions. These patients should undergo comprehensive physical examination and reproductive system testing, including semen analysis of the man, ovarian function and uterine condition evaluation of the woman. At the same time, it is necessary to evaluate whether the psychological and economic conditions of patients are suitable for IVF transplantation.
After selection, patients need hormone therapy to promote ovarian development and ovulation. Hormone therapy usually takes several weeks to several months, including improving ovarian responsiveness, inhibiting natural cycle, promoting the formation of polycystic follicles and other steps.
Endometrial preparation
Endometrial preparation is an important step in IVF transplantation to ensure that the endometrium is suitable for embryo implantation. Generally, after hormone treatment, doctors will monitor the follicular growth and endometrial changes of patients. When the follicle develops to a certain size and the intima reaches an ideal state, embryo transfer can be arranged.
Endometrial preparation generally includes the evaluation of endometrial thickness, relaxation and blood flow. Doctors can check through ultrasound and endometrial biopsy to ensure that the growth and preparation of endometrium meet the ideal requirements.
embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is a key step in the process of IVF transfer. Usually one day after the preparation of endometrium, doctors will choose high-quality embryos for transplantation. Embryos can be selected according to the number of cells, morphological structure and ease of implantation and other indicators.
During embryo transfer, doctors use guide wires or catheters to guide the embryo into the uterine cavity and implant it in an appropriate position. This process generally does not require anesthesia and will not bring too much discomfort to the patient. After transplantation, the patient needs to rest for a period of time to ensure that the embryo has a good growth environment in the uterus.
Follow up monitoring
After embryo transfer, patients need to be monitored and observed regularly. Generally, blood HCG can be measured within about two weeks after transplantation to check whether the pregnancy is successful. If the level of HCG increases, pregnancy can be confirmed and further observation of embryonic development can be made.
After the pregnancy is confirmed, the patient needs to continue prenatal health care, and regularly monitor the development of the embryo and the physical condition of the mother. The doctor will carry out appropriate treatment and guidance according to the patient's condition to ensure the stable development of the embryo and the health of the mother.
Summary
Test tube baby transplantation is a complex and sophisticated technology, involving the preparation and operation of multiple links. Patient selection, endometrial preparation, embryo transfer and follow-up monitoring are important steps, and each step requires careful planning and professional operation by doctors. Through the above detailed description, we can help you better understand the process of IVF transplantation and provide more help and support for infertile patients.
