Test tube baby estradiol: for which groups?
Test tube babies are babies born through assisted reproductive technology. One common method is to use estradiol for hormone therapy. Estradiol, a synthetic estrogen, is suitable for couples who are difficult to conceive naturally due to physiological factors. The following will elaborate on the applicable population of IVF estradiol from four aspects: age, ovarian function, menstrual cycle and uterine environment.
Age
The age of women has a great influence on the success rate of IVF. Generally speaking, female fertility peaked around the age of 30, and then gradually declined. For older women, estradiol can help regulate hormone levels and increase ovarian responsiveness. Therefore, women over 35 years of age can consider IVF and adjuvant treatment with estradiol.
However, age is not an absolute limit. Individual differences exist. Some older women can still conceive naturally, while younger women may also have ovarian insufficiency. Therefore, in addition to age, other factors need to be combined to evaluate the applicable population.
ovarian function
Ovarian function refers to the ability of the female ovary to produce eggs and hormones. Some women suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure and other diseases, and their ovaries are not fully functional, which makes it difficult to conceive. In this case, treatment with estradiol can help to increase the number and quality of follicles and improve ovarian responsiveness.
By monitoring follicular development and blood hormone levels, doctors can determine whether the use of estradiol is suitable for patients. For example, for women with ovarian insufficiency, the use of estradiol can stimulate the development of follicles and improve the chance of pregnancy.
menstrual cycle
Normal ovulation during the menstrual cycle is the key to natural pregnancy. However, some women are difficult to conceive in natural circumstances due to irregular menstruation, ovulation difficulties and other reasons. Estradiol can help regulate the menstrual cycle, promote the normal development of follicles and ovulation.
Before using estradiol, doctors usually test the menstrual cycle to determine whether the patient has abnormal menstruation. If abnormal ovulation is found, estradiol can be used as one of the treatment methods to help patients achieve their desire to conceive.
Uterine environment
In addition to ovarian function and menstrual cycle, uterine environment also affects the success rate of IVF. Some women may have problems with uterine structure such as endometriosis and cervical problems, which may lead to the inability of fertilized eggs to implant in the uterus. Estradiol can help regulate the state of endometrium and improve the implantation rate.
Doctors usually assess the patient's uterine environment by examining the thickness, shape and function of the endometrium. For women with uterine environmental problems, the use of estradiol can improve the status of endometrium and provide a better growth environment for fertilized eggs.
Summary
In conclusion, IVF estradiol is suitable for couples with older age, ovarian insufficiency, abnormal menstrual cycle and uterine environmental problems. The use of estradiol for hormone therapy can regulate the hormone level of patients, increase the development and quality of follicles, promote normal ovulation and improve the endometrial status. However, the use of estradiol also requires attention to dose control and monitoring to avoid side effects and risks. Therefore, before choosing test tube babies and using estradiol for treatment, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor and conduct a comprehensive evaluation.
