1、 Test tube baby prenatal examination in hospital
Test tube baby is a method of cultivating embryos in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology and transplanting them into women's uterus to achieve pregnancy. Before IVF, the hospital will carry out a series of prenatal examinations according to the patient's personal conditions.
First, the hospital will carry out physical examination, including blood examination and routine physical examination. Through blood examination, the patient's hormone level, immune function, blood status and other information can be known. Routine physical examination is mainly to comprehensively assess the physical condition of patients, including height, weight, body mass index, etc.
Secondly, the hospital will conduct reproductive system inspection. This includes gynecological examination and male semen analysis. Gynecological examination is mainly to understand the structure and function of women's uterus, ovary, fallopian tube and other reproductive organs. Male semen analysis is to evaluate male reproductive function, including the quantity, quality and mobility of semen.
In addition, the hospital will also carry out genetic counseling and genetic examination. Genetic counseling is mainly to inquire about the genetic history of both spouses in detail, and carry out relevant genetic counseling and preliminary screening according to the situation. Genetic examination is to detect the genes of both spouses to understand the harmful genes they carry in order to avoid genetic diseases.
2、 Embryo Culture and Selection of IVF
In the IVF technology, the hospital will combine the eggs taken from the female body with the male sperm in the laboratory, cultivate them into embryos, and then select the appropriate embryos for transplantation.
In terms of embryo culture, the hospital will use advanced culture medium, incubator and other equipment to provide a good growth environment for embryos and ensure the survival and development of embryos. At the same time, the hospital will determine the best culture time and transfer opportunity according to the quantity and quality of embryos.
In terms of embryo selection, the hospital will evaluate the morphological characteristics of embryos, and select the most promising embryos for transplantation in combination with the patient's personal conditions and the doctor's suggestions. This can be done by means of embryo quality score, gene detection and embryo intima selection.
Embryo culture and selection is the key to the success of IVF. Only by selecting high-quality embryos for transplantation can the success rate of IVF technology be improved.
3、 Transplantation of IVF
The transplantation of test tube baby is the process of transferring the cultivated embryo into the female uterus to realize pregnancy. This operation is usually performed in the assisted reproductive center or obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.
Before transplantation, the hospital will check the endometrial thickness of women to ensure that the endometrium is in a suitable transplantation state. Then, the doctor will use a special straw to guide the embryo into the uterus, and transfer the embryo into the uterine cavity through the cervical opening. The whole operation process is usually simple and painless, without anesthesia.
After transplantation, patients need a period of rest and recovery. The hospital will follow up the patients regularly to observe the effect after transplantation, and adjust the corresponding drug treatment plan according to the patient's condition.
The transplantation of IVF is the last key step in the whole process, and whether it is successful or not will directly affect the success rate of IVF and the occurrence of pregnancy.
4、 Postoperative care and examination of IVF
The post-operative care and examination of IVF is to ensure the pregnancy safety of patients and the healthy development of embryos.
In the first month after the operation, the hospital will conduct regular pregnancy determination and pregnancy maintenance treatment for patients, including appropriate nutrition, hormones and anticoagulants. Subsequently, the hospital will conduct an embryo heartbeat test to determine the stability of the pregnancy and eliminate the potential risk of miscarriage.
In the middle and later stages of pregnancy, the hospital will carry out regular prenatal examinations, including pregnancy ultrasound, blood pressure monitoring and pregnancy diabetes screening. The purpose of these examinations is to find and deal with possible complications in time and ensure the health of mothers and babies.
Postoperative care and examination of IVF requires patients to actively cooperate with the guidance and treatment of doctors to ensure the normal development of embryos and the smooth progress of pregnancy.
summary
The application of IVF technology requires hospitals to conduct comprehensive prenatal examinations, including physical examination, reproductive system examination and genetic counseling. In the process of IVF, embryo culture and selection are the key links. Only by selecting high-quality embryos for transplantation, can the success rate be improved. After transplantation, patients need to pay attention and check after the operation to ensure the smooth progress of pregnancy and the healthy development of embryos. Finally, through careful examination and treatment in the hospital, IVF technology can realize the dream of infertile patients and achieve a complete family.
