The birth of the first test tube baby in China
IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology designed to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In 1978, the UK successfully gave birth to the world's first test tube baby, and then this technology spread to the world, but also gradually developed in China and made an important breakthrough. Next, we will take the first IVF birth in China as an example to introduce in detail how to conduct IVF experiments in China.
Selection of experimental hospital
In China, IVF experiments are usually conducted in some well-known reproductive hospitals. For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking University Third Hospital is one of the earliest medical institutions in China to carry out IVF technology research and clinical practice. As one of the top hospitals in China, Peking University Third Hospital has a professional team and advanced equipment, providing good conditions for IVF.
When choosing IVF hospitals, couples need to consider the hospital's reputation, professional level, equipment conditions and success rate. In addition, communication with doctors and nurses is also very important, because IVF is a long-term process that requires close cooperation between doctors and couples.
Experiment preparation
Before the IVF experiment, couples need to undergo a series of physical examinations and assessments to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF. These examinations usually include blood, urine, endocrine, genetic and reproductive organ examinations.
In addition, the woman's egg collection is also a key link in the IVF experiment. Generally speaking, women need ovulation induction therapy to increase the number of eggs. After a period of treatment, doctors will use ultrasound guided puncture technology to obtain eggs.
After the woman's eggs are collected, the man needs to provide fresh or frozen sperm samples for experimental use.
Test tube baby experiment process
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer are two main steps in IVF experiment.
First, put the collected fresh eggs and sperm samples in a culture dish, and after in vitro fertilization and culture for a period of time, when the fertilized eggs develop to a suitable stage, select the most dynamic embryos for transplantation.
The embryo is then transferred into the woman's uterus using a catheter. In the next waiting time, the couple needs to keep a good attitude and take relevant health care measures according to the doctor's requirements.
If the embryo is successfully implanted and develops into a fetus, then couples can welcome their long-awaited IVF.
summary
The birth of the first test tube baby in China marks an important breakthrough in China's test tube baby technology. By choosing a suitable hospital, making full preparations and going through the process of IVF experiment, countless Chinese couples have realized their most important wishes in life. It is hoped that with the continuous progress of science and technology, more and more couples can benefit from IVF technology and enjoy the happiness of their parents and children.
