Introduction to the flow of test tube baby in Shaoyang
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples with long-term infertility achieve their reproductive aspirations. The medical level of Shaoyang City has been continuously improved, and the IVF technology has also been developed. The flow of Shaoyang IVF will be introduced in detail from four aspects.

Patient assessment and preparation
The first step in the process is patient assessment and preparation. The patient needs to interview with a professional doctor to describe in detail the reproductive history, physical condition and genetic status of both sides of the couple, and the doctor will evaluate them based on the actual situation. During the evaluation process, the doctor may require some necessary examinations, such as blood routine test, reproductive hormone test, uterine and fallopian tube patency test, etc. The evaluation results will guide the subsequent treatment plan formulation.
According to the evaluation results, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans and prepare patients accordingly. This may include adjusting one's living habits, such as quitting smoking, drinking, and eating healthily. For female patients, doctors may also carry out some auxiliary treatment measures, such as ovulation induction therapy, to improve the success rate.
In the preparation stage, doctors will also provide patients with comprehensive consultation on IVF treatment process, risks and precautions. The patient needs to fully understand and sign the informed consent form.
Egg taking and sperm treatment
The second step of the process is egg taking and sperm treatment. During female ovulation, doctors will use ultrasound guided endoscopic surgery to inject needles into the ovaries through the vagina to suck out the eggs. This process is usually carried out under general anesthesia with a short duration.
At the same time, men need to provide fresh semen samples. Laboratory technicians will process sperm samples to select the best sperm.
The procedures of egg taking and sperm processing need to be carried out in the operating room and laboratory. Doctors and technicians will strictly control the environmental conditions to ensure the sterility and high quality of the operation.
IVF Embryo Culture and Transfer
The third step of the process is IVF embryo culture and transfer. In the laboratory, doctors will take out eggs and sperm for in vitro fertilization to form embryos. The embryo will be cultured in a petri dish, and the doctor will select the best time for transplantation according to the quality and development of the embryo.
The transplant process is usually carried out indoors, similar to a gynecological examination. Doctors will use thin tubes to carefully place the carefully cultivated embryos into the female endometrium. This process is usually painless for patients and does not require hospitalization.
Observation and rehabilitation
The last step in the process is observation and rehabilitation. Patients need a period of rest after embryo transfer, usually 10-14 days. During this period, patients need to follow the doctor's advice, maintain good living habits, and avoid strenuous exercise and stress.
About two weeks later, the patient will have a blood HCG test to confirm whether the pregnancy is successful. If the test result is positive, the patient will continue to have prenatal examination of pregnant women; If the result is negative, the doctor will further discuss the follow-up treatment plan with the patient.
In a word, the process of IVF in Shaoyang City includes patient assessment and preparation, egg retrieval and sperm treatment, IVF embryo culture and transplantation, observation and rehabilitation. Through these steps, patients can increase their chances of success in pregnancy and realize their reproductive aspirations.
