Principle of Xianyang IVF
Test tube baby technology is one of the achievements of the development of modern medicine, which provides a reproductive option for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Xianyang XX Hospital, as a formal professional medical institution, also provides IVF services. Understanding the principle of IVF is crucial for couples to better understand and accept this technology.
Egg taking and sperm preparation
The first step of IVF is to take eggs and prepare sperm. Usually, when a woman is ovulating, the doctor will conduct an ultrasound examination to determine the development of follicles. Next, multiple eggs are taken from the ovary by puncture technology, which is usually carried out under anesthesia. At the same time, men provide sperm samples, and doctors separate sperm from seminal plasma through washing and centrifugation to improve fertilization ability.
The key to egg collection and sperm preparation lies in the quality and quantity of eggs and sperm. Only high-quality eggs and sperm can improve the fertilization rate and embryo quality. Therefore, in this step, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of the couple to ensure the best results.
In vitro fertilization
After the preparation of eggs and sperm, the next step is in vitro fertilization. Usually, eggs and sperm will combine in a test tube, or culture in a petri dish for a period of time before combining. Doctors will simulate the process of implantation in the body in the laboratory to provide the best environment for egg fertilization.
In IVF, the doctor will select the best sperm to combine with the egg. The success of this step directly affects the fertilization rate and embryo quality. Therefore, doctors will take appropriate technical means and operation methods according to the quality of eggs and sperm and the condition of patients to maximize the success rate of fertilization.
Embryo culture and transfer
After successful fertilization, the embryo will be cultured in the laboratory, which usually takes several days. Doctors will select the best development stage for transplantation according to the development status and quality of the embryo. Generally, embryos will be transferred into the uterus of women through painless endoscopic surgery.
Embryo transfer is the last and most critical step in the whole IVF process. Doctors need to carefully select the time and method of embryo transfer to improve the success rate of transfer. At the same time, doctors will develop personalized transplantation programs according to the situation of the couple to increase the possibility of pregnancy.
Summary
The whole process of Xianyang IVF can be divided into three main steps: egg taking and sperm preparation, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation. Egg retrieval and sperm preparation are important steps to ensure the quality of eggs and sperm. In vitro fertilization is the process of combining eggs and sperm in the laboratory. Embryo culture and transfer are the key steps to transfer well developed embryos into the uterus and realize pregnancy. Through the organic combination and mutual cooperation of these steps, Xianyang IVF technology provides a new way for couples who cannot conceive naturally.
