Basic concepts of Guangzhou IVF
IVF, also known as assisted reproductive technology (ART), is a method of combining eggs and sperm in the laboratory, and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus to enable the embryo to continue to develop. It provides an option to increase the chances of pregnancy for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Guangzhou, as the economic center and developed area of China, has some advanced IVF clinics and hospitals. Next, we will introduce the handling process of IVF in Guangzhou, South Guangdong from four aspects.
Choose a reliable IVF hospital
Choosing a reliable IVF hospital is the first step. A good hospital can provide professional technology and high-quality services. Guangzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital is a hospital with a long history and recognition, and has the leading IVF technology and equipment in China. In addition, Guangzhou First People's Hospital and Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center affiliated to Southern Medical University are also reputable choices. When choosing a hospital, the husband and wife can refer to the success rate of the hospital, facilities and equipment, doctors' experience and other factors.
Once the hospital is selected, the next step is to make a preliminary diagnosis and examination. The doctor will evaluate the fertility of both the husband and wife and determine whether it is suitable for IVF. These tests may include ovarian reserve function, sperm quality and uterine health. According to the examination results, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan.
IVF treatment plan and process
The IVF treatment plan will vary according to the specific situation of the husband and wife. The general process includes the following steps:
First, the woman received ovulation therapy to increase the number of eggs. The use of ovulation guidance drugs needs the guidance and monitoring of doctors.
Next is the collection of eggs. Through ultrasound-guided ovarian puncture or laparoscopic surgery, the doctor extracts eggs from the woman's ovary.
Then, the best quality sperm is selected for the fertilization process after obtaining the sperm sample of the man, usually through manual sperm discharge or routine semen inspection. Fertilization can be carried out in a test tube, or eggs and sperm can be placed together in a petri dish.
After successful fertilization, the embryo will be cultured in the laboratory for several days, usually 3-5 days. Doctors will choose the best time for embryo transfer according to the development of the embryo.
Finally, the embryo is transferred into the mother's uterus. This is a short and painless process. Doctors use catheters to place embryos in the endometrium.
Precautions and suggestions
Before IVF treatment, both husband and wife should carefully understand the precautions and risks in the process and have a positive attitude. Here are some suggestions:
The first is to maintain good living habits. Quitting smoking, controlling drinking, balanced diet and moderate exercise all contribute to the success rate of IVF.
The second is to follow the doctor's instructions and orders. IVF treatment is a complex process, which requires patients to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, take medicine on time, follow up and check.
The third is to be mentally prepared. The process of IVF treatment will bring some pressure and anxiety. Both husband and wife should support each other, actively respond, and seek professional psychological guidance.
Summary
As the economic center of China, Guangzhou in southern Guangdong also has a relatively developed medical level in the field of IVF. Choosing a reliable IVF hospital is the first step, and then formulate a treatment plan according to individual conditions. The whole process requires the patient to actively cooperate with the doctor's guidance, and maintain good living habits and good mental state. The success rate of IVF treatment is related to the selection of hospitals, doctors' experience, individual conditions and other factors. Both spouses need to be mentally prepared and actively face various challenges in the treatment process.
