What is IVF?
IVF, also known as assisted reproductive technology, is a medical process that helps couples who cannot conceive achieve fertility through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. It is widely used in different types of families such as infertile patients, patients with multiple abortions, single parents and same-sex couples.
In Chengdu, there are many professional medical institutions providing IVF services, the most famous of which is Chengdu Haoran Maternity Hospital. The hospital has a high-level professional team, equipped with advanced reproductive auxiliary equipment and facilities, to provide patients with comprehensive IVF treatment.
The process of IVF
The IVF process is divided into the following key steps:
Step 1: women use ultra minimally invasive technology to retrieve eggs. Doctors will determine the best time to retrieve eggs according to the menstrual cycle and follicular development of women. Then, under monitoring, the eggs were taken out through vaginal puncture using ultra minimally invasive technology.
Step 2: male provides semen samples. Men need to donate semen at the designated place for subsequent in vitro fertilization.
Step 3: In vitro fertilization. In the laboratory, the eggs and semen taken out are fertilized in vitro to make the sperm combine with the egg successfully. If fertilization is successful, the embryo will develop in a petri dish.
Step 4: Embryo transfer. After the most potential embryos are developed in the culture dish, the doctor will select the best embryos for transplantation. This process is usually very simple. The doctor will use a slender tube to place the embryo into the female uterus.
Success rate of IVF
The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including the patient's age, physical health, egg and sperm quality, etc. According to the data of Chengdu Haoran Maternity Hospital, the average success rate of IVF is about 60%.
Age is an important factor, and the success rate of young patients is higher, because the quality of eggs will decline with age. In addition, the diagnosis of the specific causes of infertility will also have an impact on the success rate. If a clear diagnosis can be made and targeted treatment can be carried out for the cause, the success rate is relatively high.
However, even if the success rate is not high, IVF is still a very promising technology, which provides opportunities for couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve fertility.
Precautions for IVF
Before IVF treatment, patients need to know some precautions:
First, patients need to undergo a series of physical examinations and assessments to determine whether IVF treatment is appropriate. This includes gynecological examination of women, semen analysis of men and some basic physical indicators.
Secondly, patients need to maintain a positive attitude, because the IVF process may require multiple attempts to succeed. This process may have an impact on mood and mental state, so patients need to actively face it, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and avoid excessive anxiety and stress.
Finally, patients need to closely cooperate with doctors' suggestions and guidance during IVF treatment. The doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan and closely monitor the patient's physical condition and treatment progress.
