Drug treatment process of test tube baby

Test tube baby is a method for couples who cannot conceive naturally to have a smooth birth through artificial assisted reproductive technology (ART). Drug therapy is one of the important links in the process of IVF. It uses drugs to regulate the physiological state of women, promote ovarian development and follicle maturation, and ensure successful fertilization and embryo implantation. This article will introduce the drug treatment process of test tube babies, and elaborate on the use of drugs, precautions and the implementation of related hospitals.

How to use drugs

The drug treatment of IVF is generally divided into two stages: hormonal regulation and ovulation induction.

In the hormone regulation phase, female patients need to inject a certain amount of hormone drugs every day according to the doctor's instructions. These drugs include gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) drugs and follicle stimulating growth hormone (FSH) drugs. GnRH drugs are usually administered by nasal spray or subcutaneous injection, while FSH drugs are administered by injection. The role of these drugs is to regulate female hormone levels and promote ovarian development and follicle maturation.

The hormone regulation phase usually lasts for 10 to 14 days. At the same time, regular ultrasonic examination and blood testing are also required to determine the physiological response of the ovary and the adjustment of drug dosage. Once the follicle develops to a sufficient size, the doctor will decide whether to collect eggs according to the results of ultrasonic examination.

In the ovulation promotion phase, female patients need to use drugs that trigger ovulation. Such drugs usually include human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or follicle stimulating hormone (LH) drugs. Their role is to promote the excretion of eggs and prepare for subsequent fertilization and embryo transfer.

matters needing attention

During the drug treatment of IVF, patients need to pay attention to the following issues.

First of all, the patient should use the medicine on time and in accordance with the doctor's instructions. The use time and dosage of drugs are determined according to the specific situation of the patient, and self adjustment may have a negative impact on the treatment effect.

Secondly, patients need to closely observe their own physical reactions. In the process of using drugs, some side effects may occur, such as abdominal pain, breast pain, mood fluctuations, etc. In case of serious discomfort or adverse reaction, the patient should contact the doctor in time.

In addition, patients need to follow the doctor's rest and diet recommendations. During drug treatment, proper rest and nutrition intake are of great significance for promoting ovarian development and ensuring embryo implantation. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and high temperature environment and maintain good mood and mentality.

Implementation

The drug treatment of IVF is carried out in formal reproductive medical centers or specialized hospitals. For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital has a professional reproductive medicine team with modern equipment and scientific research strength. The drug treatment process of test tube babies in this hospital is carried out in strict accordance with the relevant national laws and regulations and guidance. The doctors have rich experience and the patients have received good treatment results.

Summary

Drug treatment of IVF is an important part of IVF process. Through hormone regulation and drug use in ovulation promotion stage, it can promote ovarian development and follicle maturation, and ensure successful fertilization and embryo implantation. In the course of drug treatment, patients need to pay attention to the timely and appropriate use of drugs, closely observe physical reactions, and comply with the doctor's rest and diet recommendations. The drug treatment of IVF is generally carried out in formal reproductive medical centers or specialized hospitals, such as Beijing Maternity Hospital Reproductive Medical Center. Through the cooperation of formal medical institutions and professional doctor teams, IVF drug treatment can help infertile couples achieve their fertility aspirations.
