Diagnostic methods of IVF hemorrhage
IVF hemorrhage refers to the phenomenon of hemorrhage during the process of IVF, embryo or pregnancy after embryo transfer. In order to find and diagnose the cause of bleeding in time, doctors usually use a variety of examination methods. The diagnostic methods of IVF hemorrhage will be described in detail in the following four aspects: fetal ultrasound, blood examination, endoscopy and physical examination.
Fetal ultrasound
Fetal ultrasound is one of the main methods to diagnose IVF hemorrhage. Through fetal ultrasound, doctors can observe the placental position, placental thickness, fetal heartbeat, fetal development and other important indicators. For bleeding, doctors can observe whether there is hematoma around the fetus, as well as the location and scope of bleeding through ultrasonic examination. In addition, ultrasound can also help to determine the cause of bleeding, such as whether it is placental abruption or placental implantation abnormality.
Fetal ultrasound is usually performed early after IVF pregnancy and dynamically monitored when bleeding occurs. In some special cases, doctors may choose to conduct fetal puncture guided by fetal ultrasound to obtain fetal blood for further examination.
Blood test
Blood examination is another important method for diagnosing IVF hemorrhage. Through blood examination, the coagulation function of patients can be evaluated, and possible causes of bleeding such as coagulation factor defects and blood diseases can be excluded. Common blood examination items include platelet count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, coagulation factor level, etc.
In the process of monitoring IVF baby bleeding, doctors may conduct regular blood tests to observe whether the patient's coagulation function is normal. If abnormal blood test is found, the doctor will further conduct coagulation factor related tests to determine the cause of bleeding.
Endoscopy
Endoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis of IVF hemorrhage. Once bleeding symptoms occur, doctors may use endoscopy to exclude the possibility of uterine cavity lesions or abnormal uterine bleeding. Endoscopy can directly observe the condition of endometrium to find whether there are abnormalities such as hysteromyoma and polyp, and can also take samples for pathological examination.
Endoscopy is usually performed when the cause of bleeding cannot be determined by ultrasound or blood examination, which can provide more direct visual information to help doctors judge the bleeding site and cause.
physical examination
Physical examination is one of the basic methods for diagnosing IVF hemorrhage. By carefully asking the patient's medical history, accompanying symptoms and conducting clinical examinations, doctors can get some powerful clues to help determine the cause of bleeding. Physical examination includes vulva and vagina examination, cervical and uterine examination, etc.
In the physical examination, the doctor can observe the cervical opening, cervical bleeding, cervical cysts and other lesions to further determine the cause of bleeding. In addition, the doctor will also check the size and shape of the uterus and observe whether the endometrium is abnormal.
Summary
The diagnostic methods of IVF hemorrhage mainly include fetal ultrasound, blood examination, endoscopy and physical examination. Fetal ultrasound can observe whether there is hematoma around the fetus, as well as the location and scope of bleeding; Blood examination can evaluate blood coagulation function, eliminate coagulation factor defects and blood diseases; Endoscopy can exclude the possibility of uterine cavity lesions or abnormal uterine bleeding; Physical examination can help determine the cause of bleeding through careful inquiry and clinical examination. In conclusion, the comprehensive use of these diagnostic methods can more accurately diagnose IVF hemorrhage and its causes.
