Interpretation of IVF test items
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are assisted reproductive technologies that cultivate fertilized eggs to the blastocyst stage and then transfer them to the mother's uterus. In order to ensure the health of IVF, the hospital will carry out a series of inspection items before embryo transfer. This article will interpret the IVF test items in detail from four aspects: embryo evaluation, gene testing, physical examination and psychological evaluation.
Embryo evaluation
Embryo evaluation is an important part of IVF test. The hospital will evaluate the morphology of the cultured blastocysts to determine their quality and development level. Common evaluation criteria include: embryonic cell division, cytoplasmic morphology, nuclear morphology, and embryonic homogeneity. In addition, gene chip technology can also be used for chromosome screening of blastocysts to eliminate the risk of genetic diseases. Through embryo evaluation, it can improve the success rate of embryo implantation and reduce the occurrence of abortion and chromosome abnormalities.
In China, a top three hospital in Beijing carried out the IVF embryo evaluation project. They have high-level laboratory equipment and professional technicians, who can evaluate the development of each blastocyst in detail and give corresponding suggestions and treatment plans.
Gene testing
Gene testing is another important aspect of IVF testing. With the progress of science and technology, gene testing can help screen the risk of genetic diseases carried by embryos. The commonly used gene detection methods in hospitals include next generation sequencing (NGS), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and multiple locus typing. These techniques can detect chromosome number abnormalities, common single gene genetic diseases (such as thalassemia, congenital kidney disease, etc.) and the risk of common genetic diseases.
The IVF gene testing project of a general hospital in Shanghai enjoys a high reputation in China. They are equipped with advanced gene testing equipment and an experienced team of genetics experts, which can provide personalized genetic counseling and treatment programs for IVF families.
Physical examination
Physical examination is to ensure that the mother can successfully carry the pregnancy process and reduce the occurrence of pregnancy complications. The hospital will carry out a detailed physical examination of the woman, including genital examination, determination of blood type and immunological indicators, assessment of thyroid function, etc. At the same time, women's chronic diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.) will be evaluated and controlled to ensure the health of the mother during pregnancy.
A woman and baby hospital in Guangzhou carried out a strict physical examination of test tube babies. They have a professional obstetric team that can conduct a comprehensive examination and evaluation of women to ensure the smooth progress of IVF.
Psychological assessment
Psychological evaluation is an important part of the IVF examination, which is mainly aimed at the psychological status of both spouses and the whole family. The process of IVF is a process of great psychological pressure for both husband and wife, so psychological assessment can help both husband and wife reasonably adjust their emotions, solve anxiety and tension, and improve the success rate of IVF.
A psychological hospital in Shanghai provides psychological assessment services for families of test tube babies. They have an experienced team of psychologists who can provide personalized psychological counseling and intervention programs to help couples overcome the difficulties and challenges of IVF.
Summary
IVF test items include embryo assessment, gene testing, physical examination and psychological assessment. Embryo evaluation and gene testing can improve the success rate of embryo implantation and reduce the occurrence of chromosome abnormalities. Physical examination ensures the health of the mother and reduces the occurrence of pregnancy complications. Psychological assessment helps IVF families adjust their emotions and improve their success rate. Different hospitals have their own professional advantages in terms of IVF test items, and can provide comprehensive medical support for IVF families.
