Where can I do IVF? What is the demand?
As a reproductive assistant technology, IVF technology provides a hope for couples who are unable to conceive successfully or are troubled by infertility problems. So, where can I do IVF? The following will elaborate on IVF from the aspects of hospital selection, domestic and international conditions, surgical needs and follow-up care.
1. Hospital selection
Generally speaking, IVF surgery can only be performed in hospitals with relevant technology and equipment. At present, many large general hospitals, reproductive hospitals and specialized hospitals around the world provide IVF services. In China, the reproductive centers of some well-known hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, have excellent IVF teams and can provide more professional services. In addition, some private hospitals have also started to set foot in IVF technology, such as Beijing Tongrentang Hospital and Guangzhou Sunshine Hospital.
When choosing hospitals, we need to make decisions according to our own conditions and needs. You can check the hospital's official website to learn about its equipment, doctor team, success rate and other information. In addition, some patients who have completed IVF surgery can be consulted for their experience and suggestions.
2. Situation at home and abroad
IVF technology has developed rapidly in China, and many hospitals in China have provided IVF services. Among them, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and other first tier cities have relatively good medical standards and technical equipment, which is an ideal choice.
In addition to domestic, some foreign hospitals also provide IVF surgery. The medical technology in Europe and the United States is relatively advanced. Hospitals in Britain, the United States, Australia and other places have rich experience and high-quality services in the field of IVF, attracting some patients seeking higher success rates or special needs.
3. Operation demand
The IVF operation needs to meet certain conditions. First of all, the couple needs to go through a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that they are in good health for surgery. Secondly, couples need to conduct ovulation induction treatment under the guidance of doctors to promote ovarian development and release eggs. At an appropriate time, eggs and sperm will be taken out through assisted reproductive technology, and fertilization and embryo culture will be carried out in the laboratory. Then high-quality embryos will be implanted into the woman's uterus, allowing the embryos to continue to develop in the mother's body.
The operation needs to be carried out in sterile laboratory conditions, and doctors and technicians need to have relevant professional knowledge and operating skills. Before and after the operation, certain drug treatment, including ovulation promoting drugs, anticoagulants, etc., should be carried out, and the doctor's guidance should be followed.
4. Follow up care
After the IVF operation, the patient needs follow-up care under the guidance of the doctor. The doctor may give some drugs, such as progesterone, to maintain pregnancy. Patients need to take medicine on time, and pay attention to timely medical treatment. In addition, patients should also pay attention to their living habits and diet to avoid overwork and unhealthy food intake.
It should be noted that the specific situation of each patient is different, and there may be some special needs and suggestions. It is recommended that patients keep good communication with doctors throughout the process, and work together to develop plans and solve problems.
Summary
IVF surgery can be performed in many hospitals at home and abroad. When selecting a hospital, we need to consider factors such as hospital strength, professional team and success rate. The specific requirements of the operation include physical examination, ovulation induction therapy, embryo culture and implantation, which should be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors. Follow up care after surgery is also very important, requiring patients to take medication and recuperate according to doctor's instructions. For those couples who hope to realize their dreams of childbirth through IVF, selecting suitable hospitals, meeting the needs of surgery and carrying out follow-up care are important factors for success.
