What preparations should be made in advance for IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples with fertility disorders to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, IVF is not a simple operation, which requires a series of preparations before the operation. This article will elaborate on what preparations should be made for IVF in advance from four aspects.
Physical examination and health assessment
Before IVF surgery, both the husband and wife need to have a comprehensive physical examination. First of all, through physical examination, blood test, endocrine hormone test, etc., doctors can assess whether the reproductive system of the couple is healthy, understand whether there is a cause of infertility, and eliminate possible risks of infectious diseases and genetic diseases.
In addition, the doctor will carry out psychological assessment and psychological consultation to understand the psychological conditions of the couple and confirm whether they have the psychological preparation for IVF surgery. The IVF operation cycle is long, and the success rate is not 100%. Both couples need to have enough confidence and patience. If there are other psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression, it is recommended to actively seek psychological guidance and support before surgery.
Finally, the doctor will comprehensively evaluate the couple's age, physical condition, living habits and other factors to determine whether it is suitable for IVF surgery.
Egg taking and sperm extraction
The key steps of IVF surgery are egg retrieval and sperm extraction. Before the operation, women need to inject hormones to promote ovarian development, and then take eggs under the guidance of doctors and ultrasound guidance. This process requires women to maintain good physical condition and nutrition, and follow the doctor's diet and lifestyle guidance.
Men need to provide sperm samples for sperm selection and treatment in the laboratory. In order to ensure the quality of sperm, men should pay attention to avoiding drugs, quitting smoking, limiting drinking, etc. before providing sperm samples. In addition, men should also maintain good living habits, such as moderate exercise, regular work and rest, to improve sperm quality.
Select hospitals and doctors
IVF surgery is a very complex technology, which needs professional doctors and equipment to operate. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right hospital and doctor.
First, couples should choose hospitals and doctors with rich experience and high success rate. They should have professional background knowledge, rich clinical experience and perfect technical equipment. You can consult with doctors nearby or friends who have undergone IVF surgery, or learn about the background and achievements of hospitals and doctors through Internet search and consultation institutions.
In addition, couples also need to consider the geographical location and service quality of the hospital. IVF surgery requires multiple visits and hospitalization. Choosing a hospital close to home or work place can reduce the time and energy consumption of round trip. At the same time, the hospital's service quality, medical facilities and environment should be considered to ensure a more comfortable and safe operation process.
Psychological preparation and life adjustment
The IVF operation cycle is long and the success rate is uncertain, so couples need to be prepared.
First of all, couples need to actively adjust their mentality and maintain an optimistic and relaxed mood. As the operation may be accompanied by some physical and emotional discomfort, the couple needs to understand and support each other, and maintain unity and patience in the face of difficulties and setbacks.
Secondly, couples also need to adjust their living habits and follow the guidance and advice of doctors. Pay attention to balanced diet and nutrition, avoid overwork and excessive pressure, and maintain a stable mood and regular work and rest to improve the success rate of surgery.
In conclusion, before IVF surgery, physical examination and health assessment, egg retrieval and sperm extraction, selection of hospitals and doctors, psychological preparation and life adjustment are required. These preparations play a vital role in the success of IVF surgery. Couples need to closely cooperate with doctors, follow doctors' advice and guidance, and believe that sound preparations will bring greater hope and possibility for them to realize their reproductive dreams.
