What tests should be done before IVF transplantation?
Test tube baby transplantation is an assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. Before IVF transplantation, a series of examinations are required to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for the operation. The following tests are required before IVF transplantation.
1. Fertility assessment
Before IVF transplantation, doctors will evaluate the fertility of both spouses. This is to determine whether there are obvious fertility disorders, such as irregular menstruation, ovarian dysfunction or uterine malformation. Common assessment methods include detailed knowledge of the couple's birth history and relevant physical examination.
For women, doctors may perform endocrine tests to assess ovarian function and follicular development. In addition, auxiliary examinations such as hysteroscopy, hysterography or endometrial biopsy may be carried out when necessary.
For men, doctors usually conduct semen analysis to assess the quality and quantity of sperm. If abnormalities are found, testicular ultrasound, endocrine examination or chromosome analysis may also be required.
2. Health assessment
In order to improve the success rate and reduce the risk of complications, IVF transplantation requires patients to have good health conditions. Therefore, before surgery, doctors will conduct a comprehensive health assessment of patients.
This includes checking the patient's height, weight, blood pressure and other physiological indicators, and checking blood routine, liver function, kidney function, blood sugar, HIV, syphilis and other related tests. Through these examinations, doctors can have a clear understanding of the overall health of patients and carry out targeted interventions.
3. Imaging examination
In order to comprehensively assess the patient's reproductive system, the doctor will also carry out a series of imaging examinations.
Female patients usually have pelvic ultrasound to assess the shape, size and structure of the uterus, observe the ovulation of the ovary, and exclude pelvic lesions. If necessary, further examinations such as three-dimensional ultrasound examination of uterine cavity or ovarian contrast can also be carried out.
Male patients may need testicular ultrasound to assess the structure and function of the testicles and epididymis and other reproductive organs. In addition, penis erection function examination, sperm ureterography or urine examination after ejaculation can also be performed to evaluate the function of the male reproductive system.
4. Infectious disease screening
The existence of infectious diseases may affect the smooth progress of IVF transplantation, so it is necessary to screen related infectious diseases before surgery.
Common infectious diseases include hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, HIV, etc. The doctor will screen whether the patient is infected with these viruses through a blood test, and conduct corresponding treatment according to the test results.
In addition to the screening of infectious diseases, if the patient has chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, etc., the doctor may also require the patient to come back regularly and receive corresponding treatment to ensure the smooth operation.
Summary
The examination before IVF transplantation mainly includes fertility assessment, health assessment, imaging examination and infectious disease screening. These examinations can help doctors comprehensively assess the patient's physical condition and ensure the success of the operation and the health and safety of the patient.
Through the evaluation of the fertility of both husband and wife, doctors can determine whether there is obvious fertility disorder. Health assessment can check the overall health of patients and prevent the occurrence of surgical complications. Imaging examination can comprehensively evaluate the reproductive system of patients and ensure the successful operation. Infectious disease screening can eliminate the impact of infectious diseases on surgery.
In conclusion, the examination before IVF transplantation needs to be comprehensively evaluated from the above aspects to ensure the smooth operation and the health and safety of patients.
