Preparation of IVF pre work
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology provides a way for couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the success rate of IVF is not always 100%, so couples need to do some preparatory work before IVF. Next, we will elaborate on the preparations for IVF from four aspects.
Select the right hospital and doctor
The first step is to choose the right hospital and doctor. IVF needs professional medical equipment and expert guidance, so it is very important to choose a regular and experienced hospital and doctor. You can learn about the reputation and credibility of hospitals and doctors by consulting relevant materials, relatives and friends or online consulting platforms. In addition, the geographical location and traffic convenience of the hospital should be considered to ensure convenient access to examination and treatment.
When selecting hospitals and doctors, we should also consider the facilities and technical level of hospitals, whether they have advanced assisted reproductive technology equipment and success rate. You can ask for the success rate data of IVF from the hospital to understand the doctor's experience and knowledge background, so that you can determine whether to choose the hospital and doctor for IVF surgery.
Physical examination and routine examination
Before IVF, couples need to undergo a series of physical examinations and routine examinations. These examinations are mainly to assess the physical condition and reproductive capacity of the couple and provide basis for subsequent medical operations.
The man needs a semen test to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. The woman needs to carry out gynecological examination, endocrine examination, endometrial thickness measurement, etc. to assess the health of her reproductive system. Some blood tests, such as HIV test and hepatitis test, are also needed to ensure the safety of the operation.
In addition, couples also need to carry out some special tests, such as genetic disease tests, to eliminate the risk of genetic diseases. The results of these tests will directly affect the success rate of IVF and the health of embryos.
Psychological preparation
In the process of IVF, couples may experience some physical and mental pressure and distress. Therefore, couples need to make psychological preparations before IVF.
First of all, couples should have an accurate understanding of the whole process of IVF surgery, including all operations and precautions before, during and after the surgery. This can help couples better cooperate with doctors and improve the success rate of surgery.
Secondly, couples should maintain a good attitude and a positive mental state. The process of IVF may experience uncertainty and anxiety. Couples need to support each other, learn to relax and adjust their emotions, so as to reduce stress and improve the success rate of IVF.
Finally, couples can consider taking part in some psychological counseling or joining a support group to share their experience with people with similar experiences so as to get more understanding and support.
Lifestyle and diet adjustment
The success rate of IVF is related to the lifestyle and eating habits of couples, so couples need to make some lifestyle and diet adjustments before IVF.
First, couples need to quit smoking and drinking. Tobacco and alcohol have adverse effects on the success rate of IVF, so it is very important to quit smoking and alcohol. In addition, attention should be paid to avoiding contact with harmful substances and environmental pollution to ensure the health of eggs and sperm.
Secondly, couples can appropriately increase nutrition and take in some food beneficial to reproductive health. For example, increase the intake of protein, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and eat fat and carbohydrates in moderation. This can improve the quality of eggs and sperm and increase the success rate of IVF.
Finally, couples also need to properly control their weight and maintain moderate exercise. Too heavy or too light will affect the health of eggs and sperm, so it is very important to maintain a moderate weight. In addition, moderate exercise can improve blood circulation and cardiopulmonary function, which is conducive to the success of IVF.
Summary
The preliminary work of IVF is very important, which can affect the success rate of IVF and the health of embryos. Before preparing test tube babies, couples need to select appropriate hospitals and doctors, carry out physical examination and routine examinations, make psychological preparations, and adjust their lifestyle and eating habits. Through these preparations, the success rate of IVF can be improved and couples' reproductive aspirations can be realized.
