Basic process of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. It is a method to achieve pregnancy by cultivating the fertilized egg to a certain degree of development in the laboratory and then transplanting it into the mother's uterus. Next, we will elaborate on the basic process, success rate, hospital selection and post nursing care.
The basic process of IVF can be divided into the following steps:
1. Superovulation treatment: Hormone treatment can promote ovarian ovulation, increase the number of eggs released by the ovary, and improve the probability of pregnancy.
2. Egg retrieval: When the ovary develops to an appropriate time, the doctor will use a thin tube to extract the eggs from the ovary through the vagina, usually through the guidance of B-ultrasound.
3. Fertilization: Put the eggs and sperm taken out in the culture dish, and conduct artificial fertilization or selective fertilization in the laboratory to cultivate them to a certain degree of development.
4. Embryo transfer: The cultured embryos are transferred into the mother's uterus for further development and pregnancy.
5. Pregnancy test: At an appropriate time after transplantation, pregnancy testing was performed to determine whether pregnancy was successful.
Factors influencing the success rate of IVF
The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors:
1. Age: The age of women is an important factor affecting the success rate of IVF. Young women have good ovarian function, high egg quality and relatively high success rate.
2. Male factors: The quality of male sperm will also directly affect the probability of pregnancy. If there is abnormal semen or insufficient sperm, the success rate of fertilization will be affected.
3. Causes of infertility: Different infertility causes also affect the success rate of IVF. For example, uterine malformation, oviduct blockage and other factors will affect the success rate of IVF.
4. Hospitals and doctors: The professional level and experience of different hospitals and doctors will also affect the success rate of IVF.
Select the right hospital
Choosing a professional hospital is crucial to the success rate of IVF. The following are some reference elements for selecting a suitable hospital:
1. Professional team: Whether the hospital has a professional IVF team, and whether the team has rich experience and high-level technology.
2. Equipment and technology: Whether the hospital has advanced equipment and technology, such as advanced laboratory technology, embryo culture technology, etc.
3. Success rate: Whether the success rate of the hospital is high can be assessed by viewing the relevant data of the hospital and the feedback of patients.
4. Comprehensive services: Whether the hospital provides comprehensive services, including preoperative consultation, postoperative care, etc.
Post care of test tube babies
After the success of IVF, some post care is needed to ensure the health of mother and embryo:
1. Drug treatment: According to the doctor's advice, take luteinizing hormone and other drugs regularly to maintain pregnancy.
2. Regular birth inspection: Periodically carry out prenatal examination, including B-ultrasound examination, blood routine examination, etc., to ensure the healthy development of embryos.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise: During pregnancy, some strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor should be avoided to avoid adverse effects on embryos.
4. Nutrition during pregnancy: Pay attention to reasonable diet, maintain balanced nutrition intake, and promote the healthy development of embryos.
Summary
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology. Its success rate is affected by many factors, including age, infertility reasons, male factors and hospital choice. Choosing a suitable hospital is crucial to the success rate, and factors such as the professional team, equipment technology, success rate and comprehensive services of the hospital should be considered. After success, some post nursing care is needed, including drug treatment, regular birth inspection, avoiding strenuous exercise and reasonable nutrition intake. We hope that this information can help us understand the relevant knowledge of IVF.
