Precautions for IVF
Test tube baby, also known as assisted reproductive technology (ART) baby, is a method to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy and childbirth through medical technology. Although the IVF technology has been relatively mature and safe, there are still some precautions to be taken in the process of IVF. The following are four considerations.
Select regular hospitals and professional teams
If you decide to carry out IVF, you need to choose a regular hospital and an experienced professional team first. To find a hospital with a good reputation in the field of IVF, you can obtain information by consulting family doctors, relatives and friends, or searching for evaluation on the Internet. Ensure that the hospital has complete equipment, advanced technology and an experienced medical team. Professional doctors and technical teams will be able to provide comprehensive consultation and support to answer your concerns and ensure the smooth progress of the whole IVF process.
At the same time, when selecting hospitals and teams, we should also understand the restrictions and provisions of local laws and regulations on IVF, and ensure that hospitals and teams comply with relevant laws and ethical codes.
Prepare physically and mentally
IVF needs a period of preparation, including physical and psychological preparation.
Physically, women need a physical examination to assess fertility, and may need medication and hormone therapy to regulate ovarian function. In addition, men also need to complete semen analysis to assess sperm quality. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, will also play a positive role in the success of IVF.
Psychologically, the process of IVF may bring about various anxieties and pressures. It is suggested that couples should conduct psychological counseling to understand the process and possible results of IVF, so as to better cope with and dispel emotions. Positive attitude and good mental state will help to improve the success rate of IVF.
Follow the doctor's guidance and treatment plan
In the process of IVF, it is essential to follow the doctor's guidance and treatment plan.
First of all, all examinations and tests should be completed according to the doctor's requirements to fully understand the fertility of both the husband and wife. Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on the examination results, including drug treatment, egg collection, fertilization, embryo transfer and other steps. Take medicine on time, follow the doctor's advice, and regularly go to the hospital for follow-up treatment.
At the same time, report any physical discomfort or side effects to the doctor in time so that the doctor can adjust the treatment plan in time. Keep good communication and keep close contact with doctors and teams, which can solve problems in time and improve the success rate of IVF.
Postoperative care and life adjustment
After the success of IVF, postoperative care and life adjustment are also required.
First of all, it is necessary to carry out regular inspection and consultation during pregnancy as required by doctors to ensure the normal development and health of the fetus. Follow the doctor's advice, maintain good diet and living habits, and avoid strenuous exercise and overwork.
Secondly, IVF has brought great changes and responsibilities to the lives of both spouses. The husband and wife need to share the responsibility of childcare, and learn and prepare for childcare knowledge in advance. In addition, it is recommended that couples strengthen communication, jointly face the challenges and difficulties of childcare, and maintain a good relationship between husband and wife.
Summary
The process of IVF requires careful selection of hospitals and professional teams, physical and psychological preparation, follow the doctor's guidance and treatment plan, and carry out postoperative care and life adjustment. Only with comprehensive attention can couples successfully realize their IVF dream and welcome the arrival of new life.
