What tests should be performed before IVF to eliminate the risk of fetal arrest
Test tube baby is a great achievement of modern medical technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dream of having a healthy baby. However, the risk of fetal arrest during IVF cannot be ignored. In order to reduce the possibility of fetal arrest, couples preparing for IVF need to carry out a series of examinations. The following is a detailed introduction to the inspection that needs to be done before IVF from the aspects of pre pregnancy inspection, genetic counseling, reproductive system inspection and living habits to exclude the risk of fetal arrest.
Pre pregnancy examination
Before IVF, couples need to undergo pre pregnancy examination to eliminate potential fertility obstacles. These tests include blood tests, diabetes screening, hepatitis B virus infection screening, syphilis screening, etc. These examinations can help doctors assess the health status of couples and exclude factors that may affect the health of the fetus. If potential problems are found, doctors can formulate corresponding treatment plans to improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, women also need gynecological examination, including endometrial thickness measurement, tubal patency inspection, etc. These examinations can help doctors to determine whether the uterine cavity environment is suitable for embryo implantation and eliminate problems in the reproductive system.
Genetic counseling
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, that is, embryos are fertilized and cultivated in the laboratory, so couples need genetic counseling. Genetic counseling can help couples understand whether they have a genetic history, whether there are chromosomal abnormalities, etc. If genetic disease risk is found, doctors can provide corresponding genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis programs to reduce the possibility of fetal disease.
In addition, couples can also carry out gene screening to screen some common genetic disease risks, such as congenital heart disease, Down syndrome, etc. Through genetic counseling and screening, couples can better select the quality of embryos and increase the success rate of IVF.
Reproductive system examination
In order to ensure the success rate of IVF, couples need to carry out relevant reproductive system tests. Men need to conduct semen analysis, evaluate the quantity and quality of sperm, find problems in time and carry out targeted treatment. Women need to evaluate their ovulation function, determine whether there is ovulation disorder, and take appropriate treatment. These tests can help doctors better grasp the fertility potential of couples and improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, women also need to take endometrial biopsy to assess the health of the endometrium. The health of endometrium is an important factor for embryo implantation. Biopsy can help doctors understand the status of endometrium and carry out corresponding treatment.
habits and customs
Couples' living habits will also affect the success rate of IVF. Bad living habits such as smoking, alcohol abuse and drug abuse will damage the reproductive system and increase the risk of fetal arrest. Therefore, couples preparing for IVF need to quit smoking and drinking, maintain a healthy lifestyle and increase the success rate of IVF.
In conclusion, a series of examinations are required before IVF to eliminate the risk of fetal arrest. Including pre pregnancy inspection, genetic counseling, reproductive system inspection and improving living habits. Through these examinations, couples can better understand their own fertility potential and genetic risks, and choose appropriate treatment schemes to improve the success rate of IVF.
