Do IVF babies need tubal instillation?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological reasons to achieve their reproductive aspirations. In the process of IVF, it is a controversial issue whether the tubal fluid is needed. This article will discuss this problem from many aspects.
1. Introduction to IVF
IVF is achieved through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. First, doctors will collect female eggs and fertilize them with male sperm in the laboratory. Then, the fertilized embryo is cultured to a certain stage, and finally the embryo is implanted into the female uterus. The whole process aims to re-establish a normal pregnancy environment to achieve the purpose of pregnancy.
2. The role of tubal hydrotubation
Tubal patency is a diagnostic operation. By injecting liquid into the fallopian tube, you can observe the patency of the fallopian tube, and eliminate the abnormalities and diseases of the fallopian tube. Usually, tubal instillation is considered to improve the success rate of IVF. It can clean the fallopian tube and dredge the potential blockage, improving the natural mobility of the fertilized egg in the fallopian tube. In addition, tubal hydrotubation can also help to provide a more accurate assessment of endometrial conditions, so that doctors can better choose the best time for embryo transfer.
3. Risk of tubal fluid passing
Although tubal hydrotubation can bring some benefits, it also has some risks. First of all, tubal hydrotubation may cause some side effects, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. Secondly, because the fluid of the fallopian tube needs to be injected into the uterine cavity, it may cause irritation of the endometrium, and then lead to discomfort or inflammation. In addition, if the injected fluid penetrates into the abdominal cavity, it may cause peritonitis or infection. Therefore, doctors and patients need to weigh the risks and benefits when deciding whether to conduct tubal instillation.
4. Hospital practice
Different hospitals and doctors have different views on whether IVF needs tubal fluid infusion. For example, some hospitals strongly recommend that tubal hydrotreating be carried out to improve the success rate of IVF. Other hospitals may think that tubal fluid filling is not a necessary step, because tubal condition can be evaluated by other inspection means. It is important to fully understand their practical experience and position when selecting hospitals and doctors so as to make rational decisions.
summary
In general, tubal hydrotubation plays a certain role in IVF, which can clean the fallopian tube, improve the natural mobility of the fertilized egg, and provide more accurate endometrial assessment. However, it also has certain risks. Not all hospitals and doctors agree with the necessity of this operation. Therefore, when making decisions, risks and benefits should be carefully weighed, and appropriate hospitals and doctors should be selected for consultation and diagnosis.
