Chengdu Overseas IVF: What medical technologies are there?
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology has solved the problem of fertility for couples who cannot conceive naturally. As a medical center in southwest China, Chengdu has also actively introduced and applied overseas IVF technology, providing more options for couples with infertility problems. The medical technology of Chengdu overseas IVF will be described in detail from four aspects: embryo culture, embryo screening, implantation technology and pregnancy management.
Embryo culture
Embryo culture is a key link in IVF technology. In a hospital in Chengdu, they introduced advanced embryo culture technology. After obtaining eggs and sperm, put them into a culture dish to provide appropriate nutrition and environmental factors, simulate the internal environment, and promote embryonic development. Among them, the culture medium in the culture dish has appropriate pH value, osmotic pressure and nutrients, which can provide the nutrients needed by the embryo. At the same time, the incubator of culture dishes maintains a constant temperature and humidity environment, providing a stable growth environment for embryos. Through these embryo culture technologies, the success rate of IVF has been improved.
In addition, Chengdu Hospital also introduced an embryo culture medium similar to amniotic fluid to simulate the development environment of embryos in vivo. This liquid can provide sufficient nutrients and growth factors to promote the development and vitality of embryos. Through improving embryo culture technology, the success rate of IVF in Chengdu Hospital has exceeded 80%.
Embryo screening
The purpose of embryo screening is to select the most promising embryos and improve the success rate of IVF. A hospital in Chengdu introduced gene screening technology to select healthy embryos without abnormal genes for implantation by detecting and analyzing the genes of embryos. This technology is called PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening), which can help couples avoid obvious chromosome abnormalities and genetic diseases. Through embryo screening, the success rate of IVF is greatly improved and the risk of embryo implantation failure is reduced.
In addition, Chengdu Hospital also used embryo morphology evaluation technology. The development potential and quality of the embryo can be judged by observing and evaluating the appearance, morphology, cell structure and other characteristics of the embryo under the microscope. This technology does not involve gene detection, and can conduct non-invasive evaluation of embryos to reduce the risk of embryo damage.
Implantation technology
Embryo implantation is another important step in IVF technology. Chengdu Hospital introduced laparoscopic assisted embryo implantation technology. By operating under laparoscope, the uterine cavity and uterus can be clearly observed, and the embryo can be accurately implanted into the uterus. Compared with the traditional blind implantation technology, laparoscopic assisted implantation can improve the accuracy and success rate of implantation.
In addition to laparoscopy assisted technology, Chengdu Hospital also applied ultrasound guided embryo implantation technology. Ultrasound guidance can help doctors accurately locate the best implantation site in the uterus and improve the success rate of implantation.
Pregnancy management
After successful embryo implantation, pregnancy management is also crucial to the development of IVF. Chengdu Hospital provided the couples with IVF with the whole process of pregnancy management services. They are equipped with professional obstetricians and teams to carry out regular prenatal inspection and obstetric care to ensure the healthy development of IVF.
In addition, Chengdu Hospital also provides high-risk screening for pregnant women and prevention and treatment of pregnancy complications. They will develop personalized pregnancy management plans according to individual conditions to ensure the safety and smoothness of IVF pregnancy.
In general, Chengdu overseas IVF medical technology has made remarkable progress in embryo culture, embryo screening, implantation technology and pregnancy management. The application of these medical technologies provides new hope and options for couples who cannot conceive naturally, which is an important medical progress.
