Inspection items included in the IVF service provided by Hebei Second Hospital
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. As a well-known hospital in Hebei Province, Hebei Second Hospital provides comprehensive and professional services in the field of IVF. The inspection items provided by Hebei Provincial Second Hospital will be introduced in detail below.
1. Infant selection related examination
In the process of IVF, couples can choose to carry out some specific genetic tests to ensure the health of the baby. The examination related to infant selection provided by Hebei Second Hospital includes:
First, genetic counseling and genetic testing. Through genetic counseling, doctors can understand the genetic status of the couple in detail, and carry out genetic testing as needed to assess the risk of carrying genetic diseases. These tests include autosomal genetic diseases, monogenic genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities.
Second, embryonic genetic screening. In the early stage of embryonic development, doctors can detect the chromosome number and structure of the embryo by sampling to screen for chromosomal abnormalities. This will help to select healthy embryos for transplantation and reduce the birth risk of babies with chromosomal abnormalities.
Third, neonatal disease screening. The hospital provides neonatal disease screening programs to detect whether the newborn has congenital diseases, and to detect and take appropriate treatment measures as soon as possible.
2. Female reproductive system inspection
In order to ensure the success of IVF, a detailed examination and evaluation of the female reproductive system is necessary. The female reproductive system inspection items provided by Hebei Provincial Second Hospital include:
First, gynecological examination. Gynecological examination includes routine gynecological examination, cervical examination, thin layer scanning of endometrium, etc. These examinations can assess the normal function and structure of female reproductive organs, and help find problems that may affect pregnancy.
Second, ovarian function evaluation. Through blood examination and ultrasonic examination, doctors can assess the function of the ovary, including the development of follicles, the number and quality of follicles. These assessments are critical to determining the best IVF treatment option.
Third, uterine cavity examination. Through ultrasound or hysteroscopy and other inspection methods, doctors can assess the shape and structure of the uterine cavity, check for polyps, endometriosis and other diseases, and eliminate factors such as uterine fibroids that affect the success rate of test tube babies.
3. Male reproductive system inspection
The examination of male reproductive system is also important, because male factors are also one of the common causes of infertility. The male reproductive system inspection items provided by Hebei Second Hospital include:
First, semen analysis. Semen analysis can be used to evaluate semen quality and sperm quantity, morphology and vitality. This is helpful to determine the male fertility and determine whether sperm acquisition technology is needed for assisted reproduction.
Second, sperm DNA fragmentation detection. The genetic quality and stability of sperm can be evaluated by detecting the damage degree of sperm DNA to predict the potential of fertilization and embryo development.
Third, testis and epididymis examination. Through ultrasound or other examination methods, doctors can evaluate the structure and function of the testis and epididymis, and eliminate the potential causes of fertility disorders.
4. IVF assisted technical examination
In the process of IVF, some assistive technologies need to be used to improve the success rate and infant health. The items of IVF assisted technical examination provided by Hebei Second Hospital include:
First, embryo culture and evaluation. The hospital is equipped with a modern embryo culture instrument and microscope, which can accurately evaluate and culture the fertilized eggs and select the best quality embryos for transplantation.
Second, frozen embryo technology. If there are surplus healthy embryos, you can choose to freeze them for future use. The hospital provides the preservation and thawing technology of frozen embryos to provide more fertility opportunities for couples.
Third, embryo chromosome screening. PGS (Embryo Chromosome Screening) test can be carried out through cell sampling of embryos to predict the number and structure of chromosomes of embryos, screen out embryos with abnormal chromosomes, and improve the success rate of embryo transfer.
Summary
The Second Hospital of Hebei Province, as a professional hospital, has provided a wealth of inspection items in the field of IVF. From baby selection related inspection, female reproductive system inspection, male reproductive system inspection to IVF assisted technology inspection, the services provided by Hebei Provincial Second Hospital cover all aspects of the IVF process. These inspection items can comprehensively assess the fertility of couples and provide strong support for the realization of their fertility aspirations.
