Treatment process of test tube baby in Harbin
Test tube baby technology is a kind of reproductive medicine technology that helps infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. In Harbin, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and Harbin Maternal and Child Health Hospital with high reputation provide IVF treatment services. The treatment process of Harbin IVF will be introduced in detail below.
Initial outpatient diagnosis and examination
The first step of IVF treatment is outpatient initial diagnosis. Both husband and wife need to go to the hospital together for a series of reproductive health examinations. The examination includes routine semen examination, sperm motility examination for men, ovarian function examination for women, endometrial thickness measurement, and tubal patency examination. According to the examination results, the doctor evaluates the fertility of both the husband and wife, and formulates personalized treatment plans.
If the examination results show that both husband and wife have reproductive health problems, further genetic testing may be required to eliminate the risk of genetic diseases.
In addition to physiological examination, the initial outpatient consultation also includes communication between doctors and patients, so that patients can understand the treatment principle, process and possible risks of IVF in detail. Patients can also raise their own questions and concerns, and communicate and answer with doctors.
Ovulation induction and oocyte retrieval
According to the personalized treatment plan, the doctor will give ovulation induction treatment to female patients. Ovulation induction therapy is aimed at improving egg production and increasing fertilization opportunities. In the process of ovulation promotion, patients need to regularly go to the hospital for B ultrasound examination to observe the growth of follicles.
When the size and number of follicles meet the treatment requirements, the doctor will arrange the collection of eggs. The operation is called egg retrieval and is performed under general anesthesia. Guided by transvaginal ultrasound, doctors insert a slender needle into the ovary to extract mature eggs. The egg retrieval operation usually lasts about 20 minutes, and the patient needs to rest for a period of time after the operation to restore physical strength.
Sperm processing and fertilization
While taking eggs, men need to provide fresh semen samples. The fertility laboratory of the hospital processes semen, separates active sperm, and cultivates them together with eggs to promote fertilization. Fertilization usually adopts conventional IVF technology or minimally invasive technology, and the hospital will choose the most suitable method according to the situation.
The doctor observes the development of the fertilized egg and cultivates it for 2-5 days until it reaches the appropriate embryonic development stage. Then, doctors will select the embryos with the most potential for development and prepare for embryo transfer.
Embryo transfer and pregnancy detection
Embryo transfer is the last step in IVF treatment. The doctor places the selected embryo into the patient's uterus through the vagina. This is a simple and painless process without anesthesia.
After transplantation, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for rest and recovery. Within a few weeks after transplantation, the patient can conduct pregnancy testing to determine whether the pregnancy is successful by measuring the HCG level in the blood.
summary
The IVF treatment process in Harbin includes outpatient initial diagnosis and examination, ovulation induction and oocyte retrieval, sperm treatment and fertilization, and embryo transfer and pregnancy testing. This process is carefully arranged by doctors and actively cooperated by patients, which helps to improve the fertility opportunities of both spouses. When conducting IVF treatment, couples should work closely with doctors, follow doctors' advice, maintain good mentality and living habits, and increase the success rate of treatment.
