Procedures and procedures of IVF surgery

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. Through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, infertile couples can realize their reproductive dreams. IVF surgery is a comprehensive process, including egg retrieval, sperm treatment, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. The following will elaborate on the surgical procedures and processes of IVF from four aspects: surgical preparation, egg retrieval, fertilization and embryo transfer.

1. Operation preparation

Before IVF surgery, doctors will conduct a series of physical examinations and reproductive endocrine function tests on women. First, determine whether women are suitable for IVF surgery, including whether bilateral fallopian tubes are unobstructed and whether the endometrium is normal. In addition, semen analysis should be carried out on the man to check the quantity and quality of sperm. After detailed examination and evaluation, the doctor will discuss the applicability of IVF surgery with the couple, including the possible risks and success rate. The doctor will answer the couple's questions and ask them to sign the informed consent form.

2. Egg taking

Egg retrieval is a key step in IVF surgery. After the woman's natural cycle or hormone treatment, the eggs can be taken out by ultrasound guided ovarian puncture. The operation is usually performed on the 8th to 12th day of the menstrual cycle. On the day of operation, women need to receive general anesthesia safely and comfortably. The doctor punctures the ovary through vaginal wall, colposcopy or abdominal probe, punctures the follicle and aspirates the egg. The egg retrieval process needs to be carefully monitored to ensure that sufficient quantity and quality of eggs are successfully obtained.

3. Fertilization

After taking the eggs, the eggs will be placed in an in vitro culture dish and combined with sperm for in vitro fertilization. Generally, the semen with a high count will be used to co culture with the egg, or the sperm will be injected into the egg cells through special techniques. The fertilized embryo will be placed in the incubator for culture. According to the quality of eggs and embryo culture, doctors choose the right time to transfer the embryos back to the woman's uterus.

4. Embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF surgery. The doctor will transfer the cultured embryo to the woman's uterus in order to achieve pregnancy. Embryo transfer can be carried out via vagina or abdominal cavity. Generally speaking, vaginal transfer by painless washing is more common. After embryo transfer, women need a period of rest to avoid intense exercise and sexual life. The doctor will make an appointment to check the stable period after embryo implantation according to the woman's physical condition to verify whether the pregnancy is successful.

summary

IVF surgery is a method to assist couples to realize their reproductive dreams through egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer and other processes. Detailed physical examination and reproductive endocrine function test are required before surgery to determine applicability and assess risk and success rate. During the operation, doctors will obtain eggs and sperm through operations such as egg retrieval and fertilization, and transfer the embryos after in vitro fertilization back to the woman's uterus. Finally, women need proper rest and examination to verify the success of pregnancy. IVF surgery provides a hope for infertile couples and has been widely used in modern medicine.
