Detailed explanation of IVF operation process
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which artificially cultivates the fertilized eggs in vitro and implants healthy embryos into the mother, helping couples who cannot conceive naturally due to reproductive system diseases or other reasons to achieve their reproductive aspirations. The operation process of IVF will be described in detail in the following aspects: selection of appropriate hospital, examination before preparation for operation, in vitro fertilization process and nursing after embryo transfer.
Select the right hospital
IVF is a high-tech medical technology, so it is very important to choose the right hospital. The following points can be referred to when selecting hospitals:
First of all, an experienced reproductive medical center should be selected. The doctors and technical team have high professional level, advanced equipment and mature technology. You can learn about the hospital by consulting the hospital's official website, consulting others' experience and reading the hospital's relevant evaluation.
Secondly, we should understand the success rate of the hospital. You can consult hospital reports and statistical data to understand the proportion of successful births, which can be used as a reference for selecting hospitals.
Finally, consider the distance and cost of the hospital. Choosing a hospital close to home can reduce the tiredness of travel, and also facilitate follow-up and monitoring after surgery. Cost is also a factor that needs to be considered. Different hospitals may have different charging standards, so we can communicate with the financial department of the hospital to make comprehensive consideration based on understanding the core cost items.
Inspection before preparation for operation
Before IVF operation, a series of examinations are required to ensure that the physical condition is suitable for surgery.
First of all, blood tests are needed, including testing for blood type, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B virus, etc. These examinations are mainly to ensure the safety of preoperative surgery and reduce the risk of infectious diseases.
Secondly, endocrine examination is required. This test is mainly to detect whether the hormone level in women's body is normal through blood and urine samples. This can help doctors understand women's physiological conditions and make reasonable drug regulation.
Gynecological examination is also needed to check the condition of the uterus and cervix and exclude the influence of other gynecological diseases on the operation.
In vitro fertilization process
In vitro fertilization is the core step of IVF, which needs to go through the following key steps:
First, women receive ovulation guidance drug treatment to promote the development and maturation of eggs. The doctor will determine the best time for egg retrieval according to the female hormone level and ultrasound examination results.
Then, the mature eggs were extracted by ultrasound guided ovarian puncture. The eggs were immediately sent to the laboratory for treatment after collection.
Next, men need to provide fresh sperm samples or cryopreservation of sperm. Sperm will be combined with egg in vitro in the laboratory and cultured for a period of time to promote fertilization.
Finally, healthy embryos are selected and implanted into the uterus of women if they meet the conditions. The remaining embryos can be frozen for future use.
Nursing care after embryo transfer
Special care and precautions are required after embryo transfer:
First, pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. This can reduce the movement of embryos in the uterus and increase the success rate of implantation.
Secondly, follow the doctor's medication plan. The doctor will prescribe drugs, such as progesterone, according to the specific situation of the patient, to help the embryo successfully implant and maintain pregnancy.
Finally, follow the doctor's follow-up and reexamination arrangements. The doctor will arrange regular reexamination to understand the development of the embryo and adjust the treatment plan.
summary
The operation process of IVF can be implemented by selecting appropriate hospitals, conducting appropriate examinations, going through the process of IVF and nursing after embryo transfer. This technology provides a hope for those couples who cannot conceive naturally, so that they can realize their dream of having a healthy baby.
