How to operate test tube babies in Guangzhou South Hospital?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. As a professional reproductive medical institution, Guangzhou South Hospital has advanced equipment and an experienced medical team to provide patients with high-quality IVF services. The following is a detailed introduction to the operation process of IVF in Guangzhou South Hospital from four aspects.
1. Patient evaluation and consultation
Before IVF, Guangzhou Nanfang Hospital will conduct comprehensive evaluation and consultation for patients. The doctor will know the patient's birth history, physical condition and other treatment methods that the patient has tried before in detail. At the same time, the doctor will conduct physical examination and necessary reproductive hormone testing to determine whether the patient is suitable for IVF. In addition, doctors will also explain the principle, operation process, success rate and possible risks of IVF to patients, so that patients can fully understand and make wise decisions.
After that, the doctor will also develop a personalized treatment plan according to the patient's situation, and describe the operation process in detail, so that the patient has a clear understanding of the whole process.
2. Ovulation induction and egg collection
Before IVF, patients need to receive ovulation induction treatment. Doctors in Guangzhou South Hospital will prescribe corresponding ovulation promoting drugs according to the patient's condition and explain the use of drugs. Patients need to take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and regularly go to the hospital for inspection to monitor the development of follicles.
Once the follicle develops to the proper size, the doctor will arrange an egg collection operation. This operation is usually performed on the 14th day of the menstrual period and requires anesthesia or sedation. Doctors will use ultrasound guidance to puncture follicles and collect eggs, and then transfer the eggs to a gamete culture dish, waiting to combine with sperm.
3. Sperm treatment and embryo culture
After egg collection, doctors will use sperm processing technology to combine sperm with eggs. Guangzhou South Hospital has advanced sperm processing equipment and professional technicians, which can ensure the best combination rate of sperm and eggs. Once the egg is fertilized successfully, a fertilized egg (embryo) is formed.
In the next few days, the fertilized eggs will be cultured in the laboratory. The doctor will provide the most suitable medium for the growth of the fertilized egg, and regularly observe and evaluate the development of the embryo. When the embryo develops to the appropriate stage, the doctor will select the best embryo for transplantation.
4. Embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring
Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF. Doctors use thin tubes to transfer embryos into the patient's uterus. This process usually requires neither anesthesia nor hospitalization, and is very safe and painless.
After surgery, the patient needs a period of rest and recovery. The doctor will also arrange pregnancy monitoring according to the time after transplantation, and determine whether the pregnancy is successful through regular blood or urine tests. If the pregnancy is successful, the patient will continue to receive health care and management during pregnancy until a successful delivery.
Summary
The procedures of IVF in Guangzhou South Hospital mainly include patient evaluation and consultation, ovulation promotion and egg collection, sperm processing and embryo culture, as well as embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring. Through strict operation and professional technical team, Guangzhou South Hospital can provide patients with high-quality IVF services and help more couples realize their reproductive dreams.
