Operation process of Dalian IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET). In Dalian, many hospitals provide IVF programs, such as Dalian Central Hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, etc. The operation process of Dalian IVF will be introduced in detail below.
Aspect 1: Preliminary inspection and consultation
First, both husband and wife need to go to the hospital for preliminary examination and consultation. The doctor will understand the health condition, birth history, living habits, etc. of the husband and wife according to their conditions, and answer their questions in detail. Based on the examination results, the doctor will evaluate whether it is suitable for IVF and provide corresponding suggestions.
Next, the husband and wife need to carry out a series of relevant examinations, including gynecological examination, male semen examination, blood examination, etc., to ensure that the physical conditions of both husband and wife meet the requirements of test tube babies. According to the examination results, doctors develop personalized treatment plans.
During the consultation, the doctor will also introduce the relevant information of IVF, including the success rate, costs, risks, etc., to help the couple make decisions.
Aspect 2: Hormone regulation and egg collection
In IVF, women need hormone therapy to promote ovarian development. The doctor will prescribe corresponding hormone drugs according to the treatment plan and give detailed instructions for use. Female patients need to take medicine on time and at the right amount, and return regularly to ensure that hormone regulation achieves the desired effect.
Egg collection is usually carried out before women ovulate. Doctors will perform ovarian puncture in the operating room and use ultrasound guided tools. The follicular fluid in the ovary was extracted by puncture, and then the eggs and sperm were inseminated in vitro in the laboratory. The collection process requires general anesthesia, but generally speaking, the operation time is not too long.
After the collection of eggs, the eggs will be cultivated in the laboratory to observe their fertilization and embryonic development.
Aspect 3: Embryo transfer and corpus luteum support
Embryo transfer is a key step in IVF. Select one or two embryos for transfer according to the situation of both husband and wife and the doctor's advice. The process of embryo transfer is usually simple and does not require anesthesia. The doctor will place the embryo in the uterine cavity and ensure the correct position through ultrasonic guidance. Then, the patient needs a rest period to increase the chances of embryo implantation.
In order to increase the success rate of IVF, luteal support is also essential. The doctor will issue corresponding luteal support drugs and give instructions. Luteal support drugs are usually taken orally or injected to help maintain endometrial stability and embryo implantation.
Aspect 4: pregnancy detection and pregnancy health care
About two weeks later, female patients can have a pregnancy test to confirm whether they have successfully conceived. Urine is usually detected by blood test for pregnancy hormone level or early pregnancy test paper. If the result is positive, the pregnancy is successful.
Once the pregnancy is confirmed to be successful, women need to carry out early pregnancy health care. The doctor will make corresponding early pregnancy health care plans according to the patient's situation, including regular follow-up visits, nutrition guidance during pregnancy, precautions, etc. During pregnancy, women should follow the doctor's advice and conduct prenatal examination regularly to ensure the health of the fetus.
In a word, the operation process of Dalian IVF includes preliminary examination and consultation, hormone regulation and egg collection, embryo transfer and luteal support, pregnancy detection and pregnancy health care. The whole process needs the guidance and supervision of doctors, and patients need to operate and treat in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations. IVF technology provides a hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally, so that they can realize their dream of becoming parents.
