What materials should be prepared for IVF?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which enables couples unable to conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization. Before IVF, a series of materials and equipment need to be prepared to ensure the smooth progress of the whole process. The following will elaborate on the materials that IVF needs to prepare from four aspects.
Medical institutions and experts
First of all, it is very important to choose a professional medical institution. In China, well-known domestic medical institutions such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital all have IVF specialist. These hospitals are equipped with professional IVF technology teams, advanced equipment and professional medical staff. When choosing a medical institution, couples can refer to the reputation of the hospital, the success rate and the professional level of the medical team.
In addition, IVF needs professional medical experts for operation and guidance. Doctors need to assess the couple's physical conditions, develop personalized treatment plans, and monitor and adjust the whole process. Therefore, obstetricians and gynaecologists and reproductive experts are an integral part of the IVF process.
Assisted reproductive technology equipment
In the process of IVF, some assisted reproductive technology equipment needs to be used. First, petri dishes and centrifuges. Petri dishes are used to culture fertilized eggs and embryos, and centrifuges are used to centrifuge eggs and sperm.
The second is the microscope and microinjector used in IVF. Microscope is used to observe and operate eggs and sperm, and microinjector is used to inject sperm into eggs for in vitro fertilization.
In addition, a precise constant temperature incubator is also needed to keep the culture environment stable. Constant temperature incubator has precise temperature and humidity control function, which is helpful to the growth and development of fertilized eggs and embryos.
Drugs and reagents
A series of drugs and reagents are needed in the process of IVF. For women, ovulation promoting drugs are needed to increase the quantity and quality of ovulation. These drugs include gonadotropin, anti estrogen, etc., which release eggs by regulating follicle development and promoting follicle rupture.
For the man, semen analysis and sperm treatment may be required, and the reagents used include semen diluent, centrifuge, etc. These reagents can improve the quality and quantity of semen and improve the fertilization ability of sperm.
Psychological and financial support
In the process of IVF, couples often have to face huge psychological pressure and financial burden. Therefore, psychological and economic support is also an indispensable part. Couples can solve their inner anxiety and confusion with the help of professional psychological consultants.
In addition, the cost of IVF is high, and couples need to assess and plan their economic situation. You can learn about the relevant national and regional policies, find medical insurance or other economic support measures, and reduce the burden.
To sum up, the materials that IVF needs to prepare cover medical institutions and experts, assisted reproductive technology equipment, drugs and reagents, as well as psychological and economic support. Only by fully preparing these materials can the IVF process be carried out smoothly and the couple's dream of childbirth be realized.
