Guangzhou IVF: What tests need to be done?
IVF is an advanced assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples with difficulty in pregnancy realize their reproductive dreams by combining eggs and sperm in vitro and then implanting the fertilized eggs into the mother. In Guangzhou, many professional hospitals provide IVF services. Before IVF, couples need to undergo a series of examinations to ensure their health and success rate. This article will elaborate what tests Guangzhou IVF needs to do from four aspects.
1. Reproductive hormone examination
Before starting IVF treatment, women need to receive a reproductive hormone test. Through blood tests, doctors can determine whether a woman's ovarian function, follicular development, luteal function and menstrual cycle are normal. These examinations can help doctors develop personalized treatment plans and determine the best time for treatment.
In addition to blood tests, doctors may also perform endometrial biopsies. This is done by taking out endometrial tissue for examination to determine whether it is suitable for pregnancy. This is very important to exclude some endometrial diseases such as polyps, endometriosis and other causes.
2. Reproductive tract inspection
In order to ensure that the female reproductive tract is unblocked, doctors usually conduct vaginal ultrasound examination. This can help doctors observe the organ structure of ovary, uterus and fallopian tube, and detect whether there are abnormalities, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hysteromyoma, etc. In addition, fallopian tube radiography can also be used to determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed.
Men need semen analysis to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. This is an important basis for determining male fertility, which can detect sperm concentration, motility, morphology and other indicators.
3. Genetic disease screening
For couples, genetic disease is an important factor that must be considered before IVF. The doctor will carry out genetic consultation, inquire about the family genetic history in detail, and understand whether there is the possibility of genetic disease. At the same time, genetic disease screening will also be carried out, such as autosomal genetic diseases, common single gene genetic diseases, etc.
If there is a risk of genetic diseases, doctors can also carry out pre implantation genetic diagnosis, remove some embryonic cells for gene testing, exclude embryos with genetic diseases, and improve the fertility success rate.
4. Psychological testing and consultation
The IVF treatment process may cause couples to experience emotional ups and downs and increased stress. Therefore, psychological testing and counseling are very important steps. Professional psychologists can judge whether IVF treatment is suitable by evaluating the psychological status and psychological endurance of both spouses.
Psychological counseling can also help couples understand the process, risks and precautions of IVF treatment, and provide support and suggestions. This will help couples cope with the challenges of treatment and enhance their psychological adjustment ability.
To sum up, reproductive hormone examination, reproductive tract examination, genetic disease screening, psychological testing and counseling are required for IVF treatment in Guangzhou. These examinations can help doctors understand the physical conditions and genetic risks of couples, provide basis for developing personalized treatment plans, and also help improve the success rate of IVF treatment.
