Concept and process of IVF
IVF refers to the process of using assisted reproductive technology to culture the fertilized eggs in vitro to a certain stage, and then transplant them into the patient's uterus to achieve pregnancy. The development of IVF technology has brought hope to infertile patients. Chen Hong IVF is a well-known assisted reproductive hospital in China, and its IVF process will be introduced in detail below.
Step 1: Individual consultation and evaluation
In Chen Hong IVF, each patient will receive individualized consultation and evaluation. The doctor will know the patient's medical history, living habits, family heredity and other information in detail, and carry out necessary physical examination and disease screening. According to the evaluation results, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans, including what kind of assisted reproductive technology to use, drug treatment and surgical intervention. During this process, doctors will fully explain and discuss the possible risks and success rate of IVF to ensure that patients fully understand and make wise decisions.
Next, the patient will sign the informed consent form and work with the doctor to develop a treatment plan. The doctor will explain the specific details of each step, including egg retrieval, sperm preparation, fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation. Patients and doctors will also discuss and arrange the relevant treatment time and costs.
Step 2: Egg collection and sperm preparation
In the second step of IVF, female patients need to collect eggs. According to the treatment plan, the doctor will conduct ultrasound guided egg collection at an appropriate time. Local anesthesia is generally used for surgery, which is very safe and painless, but may cause a little discomfort.
The collected eggs will be treated, cleaned and cultured by ultramicro manipulation technology until in vitro fertilization. At the same time, male patients need to provide semen samples. Sperm will be centrifuged to obtain high-quality and dynamic sperm.
Step 3: In vitro fertilization and embryo culture
The third step of IVF is in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. In the laboratory, the collected eggs and sperm are placed together in a culture dish for in vitro fertilization. Doctors will closely observe the combination of eggs and sperm and the degree of fertilization to ensure the formation of embryos.
The fertilized embryo will be put into the incubator for culture. The doctor will evaluate the quality of the embryo according to the development of the embryo, and decide the best time for transfer according to the plan. Generally, embryos will be cultured in the incubator until the third or fifth day, but in special cases, the incubation time may be longer.
Step 4: Embryo transfer and pregnancy observation
The last step of IVF is embryo transfer and pregnancy observation. Embryo transfer is usually performed with a catheter, which is very simple and fast. The doctor will decide to transfer one or more embryos according to the development of the embryo and the individual condition of the patient.
After transplantation, patients need a period of rest and observation. The doctor will carry out relevant drug treatment and pregnancy support according to the treatment plan. After about two weeks, the patient can have a pregnancy test to determine whether the pregnancy is successful.
summary
Chen Hong IVF provides professional treatment services for patients with infertility. The process includes individualized consultation and evaluation, egg collection and sperm preparation, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, as well as embryo transfer and pregnancy observation. Through reasonable treatment scheme and careful operation, IVF technology can bring hope to infertile patients and help them realize their healthy reproductive dreams.
