How long is the treatment cycle of Beijing IVF Hospital?
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to solve the problem of infertility. In Beijing, there are many professional IVF hospitals providing treatment services. When choosing hospitals for IVF treatment, many people will pay attention to the length of the treatment cycle. This article will elaborate the treatment cycle of Beijing IVF Hospital from four aspects.
Medical examination and diagnosis stage
In the process of IVF treatment, medical examination and diagnosis is a very important step. This stage includes comprehensive physical examination and relevant etiological diagnosis for both the husband and wife. Generally, the time period of this stage is short, which takes about one week to ten days. Doctors will evaluate the couple's physical condition and potential fertility problems through blood tests, ultrasonic tests and imaging tests.
In addition, doctors will also develop personalized treatment plans based on the examination results to determine what kind of assisted reproductive technology to use. The specific length of IVF treatment cycle will also vary depending on the personalized treatment plan.
Ovulation and ovarian stimulation stage
Ovulation and ovarian stimulation are necessary steps for IVF treatment. At this stage, female patients usually need to inject some ovulation promoting drugs to increase the probability of ovulation and the number of eggs. This phase usually lasts for 10 days to two weeks, depending on the patient's personal situation and the doctor's treatment plan.
Doctors will monitor the ovulation process according to ultrasound, and adjust ovulation promoting drugs and ovarian stimulation drugs at the appropriate time to achieve the best treatment effect. During this period, patients need to go to the hospital regularly every day for ultrasonic monitoring and blood examination to ensure the normal ovulation.
Egg collection and sperm processing stage
Egg collection and sperm processing are key steps in IVF treatment. After the patient's ovarian stimulation reaches an appropriate stage, the doctor will arrange an egg collection operation. This operation is usually performed in the operating room of the hospital, and patients need general anesthesia. During the operation, the doctor collects eggs directly from the ovary through percutaneous puncture technology and places them in a culture dish.
At the same time, male patients also need to provide semen samples. Semen samples are usually obtained through masturbation, and then processed and washed to obtain high-quality sperm for subsequent IVF culture and selection.
Embryo culture and transfer stage
After egg collection and sperm treatment, the embryo culture and transfer stage begins. Doctors combine eggs and sperm and culture them until the embryo is formed. According to the patient's condition and the doctor's suggestion, the doctor will select the appropriate number of embryos for transplantation.
The process of transfer is usually simple. The doctor places the embryo into the uterus through the cervix. Then, patients need to rest for a period of time after transplantation, and continue to take luteinizing hormone and other drugs to promote embryo implantation and pregnancy development. Generally speaking, embryo transfer and implantation are usually carried out in the third week of the treatment cycle.
To sum up, the length of the treatment cycle of Beijing IVF Hospital is based on personal conditions and the doctor's treatment plan. Generally, the treatment cycle starts from the stage of medical examination and diagnosis, goes through the stages of ovulation guidance and ovarian stimulation, egg collection and sperm treatment, and finally enters the stage of embryo culture and transplantation. The whole process usually takes 4-6 weeks. When choosing hospitals for IVF treatment, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the treatment cycle, costs and possible risks, so as to make wise decisions.
