Changzhou IVF: What tests need to be done?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons to realize their reproductive dreams. Changzhou, as an advanced medical city, has many professional IVF clinics and hospitals. So, what tests should Changzhou test tube babies do? Next, we will elaborate one by one from the four aspects of preparation stage examination, male examination, female examination and COVID-19 examination.
1、 Preparation stage inspection
Before IVF, couples need to undergo a series of physical examinations. The first is a comprehensive physical examination, through measuring height, weight, blood pressure and other parameters, to understand the physical condition of both spouses. Then there are routine blood tests, including blood routine, liver function, kidney function, blood coagulation function and other items, to assess the health status of the body. In addition, it is also necessary to carry out infectious disease tests, including HIV, syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, as well as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other viral infections.
In addition to physical examination, both husband and wife need psychological consultation and evaluation. IVF treatment has a great impact on the psychological status of couples, so it is very important to conduct psychological consultation and assessment before starting treatment. This can help couples understand the process of treatment and possible risks, and prepare for future treatment.
2、 Male examination
Male patients need semen analysis before IVF treatment. This is an important indicator for evaluating male fertility. Through the examination of semen samples, we can understand the number, vitality, morphology and other factors of sperm. If the semen parameters of male patients are abnormal, further testicular ultrasound examination and endocrine hormone examination may be required.
In addition, some male patients may be at risk of hereditary diseases or chromosomal abnormalities and need genetic counseling and genetic testing. This can assess genetic risk, provide basis for future embryo testing, and ensure the selection of healthy embryos.
3、 Female examination
The examination of female patients should evaluate their reproductive system. The first is gynecological examination, including the evaluation of uterine morphology, endometrial thickness, ovarian function, etc. In addition, tubal patency must be checked to ensure that sperm and eggs can naturally combine. The most commonly used method is transvaginal ultrasound or pelvic endoscopy.
Women also need to be tested for endocrine hormones, including follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, estrogen, etc. This is an important index for evaluating ovarian function, and has guiding significance for selecting the best treatment opportunity and drug dosage.
4、 New coronavirus test
The COVID-19 epidemic is a new challenge for IVF treatment. Before IVF treatment in Changzhou, NCV nucleic acid test must be carried out. This is an important measure to ensure the safety of medical staff and patients during treatment. Changzhou hospitals have established perfect infection prevention and control measures to ensure the safety of patients in the treatment process.
To sum up, Changzhou needs to carry out preparatory examination, male examination, female examination and COVID-19 examination when conducting IVF treatment. These examinations can comprehensively assess the reproductive capacity and physical health of both spouses, and provide guarantee for the smooth progress of IVF treatment.
