Detailed steps of IVF egg retrieval

In vitro fertilization (IVF), also known as the process of egg collection, is one of the important steps to help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. This article will elaborate the specific steps of IVF egg retrieval operation from the following aspects.

Patient preparation and ovarian stimulation

Before IVF egg retrieval, the patient needs to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that her physical condition is suitable for surgery. This will include gynecological examination, blood and urine examination, knowledge of relevant medical history, etc. After determining that the patient is suitable for surgery, the doctor will start ovarian stimulation. This is through the injection of ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate the ovary to produce more follicles. Patients will inject drugs by themselves every day, and doctors will adjust the dose according to the results of blood examination and ultrasound examination. The stimulation process usually lasts 10-12 days.

Follicle monitoring and final maturation trigger

In the process of ovarian stimulation, the doctor will conduct regular ultrasound examination to monitor the growth and number of follicles. These tests are usually performed on the 5th to 7th day of ovarian stimulation, and the frequency will be adjusted according to the individual condition of the patient. When the follicle reaches the appropriate size, the doctor will inject the patient with the final mature trigger drug. The trigger drug will allow the follicle to mature after 36 hours and prepare for the egg retrieval operation.

Ovum retrieval

Egg retrieval is usually performed within 36 hours after triggering of final maturation. The operation is performed under painless anesthesia and usually lasts about 20-30 minutes. First, the doctor will use ultrasound to guide a thin needle through the vagina to reach the ovary, and then use an aspirator to extract the egg from the follicle. During the whole process, doctors will use ultrasonic instruments at the same time to ensure the accuracy and safety of the operation. The collected eggs will be put into the culture dish and handed over to the laboratory staff for cultivation.

Combined summary

IVF ovum retrieval is one of the key steps in IVF technology. Through patient preparation, ovarian stimulation, follicle monitoring, final maturation triggering and ovum retrieval, doctors can successfully collect eggs to provide raw materials for the next IVF. In this process, doctors and patients need to work closely together to complete the operation and maintain a good mental state. The success rate of IVF egg retrieval surgery is closely related to the technical level of the hospital and the comprehensive management of patients, so it is very important to select a formal and experienced hospital.
