Steps of IVF pretreatment
IVF refers to the treatment of in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, which provides a hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. Pretreatment of IVF is a very important step in IVF technology, which mainly includes selecting suitable patients, evaluating patients' physical conditions, and conducting necessary examinations and treatments. The following will elaborate the steps of IVF pretreatment from four aspects.
Select the right patient
In the pretreatment of IVF, the first step is to select the patients who are suitable for this treatment. Generally speaking, couples should try to conceive naturally for at least one year before considering IVF. In addition, women over 35 years old, patients with fallopian tube diseases, multiple abortions or loss of ovarian function are also suitable for IVF treatment. Clinicians will evaluate the basic conditions of patients to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF treatment.
In the process of selecting suitable patients, the hospital will ask patients to provide detailed medical history, including birth, family and personal disease history. By understanding the patient's medical history, doctors can learn about some potential risk factors and formulate corresponding treatment plans.
Assess the patient's physical condition
In IVF pretreatment, it is very important to evaluate the patient's physical condition. The doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination for the patient, including blood examination, gynecological examination and male semen examination. These tests can help doctors understand the patient's health, fertility and potential problems.
The physical condition assessment of female patients mainly includes gynecological examination and endocrine examination. Gynecological examination can detect whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed and whether the endometrium is healthy. Endocrine examination can evaluate female reproductive hormone level and determine whether there is hormone imbalance.
The physical condition assessment of male patients mainly includes semen examination. Semen examination can evaluate the number, shape and vitality of male sperm and determine the condition of male fertility.
Conduct necessary examination and treatment
In IVF pretreatment, if the patient has some reproductive problems, the doctor may carry out some necessary inspection and treatment. For example, for patients with fallopian tube diseases, doctors may choose the way of IVF for treatment. For patients with infertility, doctors may recommend in vitro fertilization or embryo transfer.
In addition to specific treatment for patients, the hospital will also provide psychological counseling and support for patients. IVF treatment is a psychological and physiological challenge for patients, so psychological support and counseling are very important for patients.
Summary
Pretreatment of IVF is a very important step in IVF technology. The success rate and safety of IVF can be improved by selecting suitable patients, evaluating their physical conditions, and conducting necessary examinations and treatments. IVF technology provides hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally, and has also made great progress in the medical field.
To sum up, the steps of IVF pretreatment are very important and complex. Clinicians need to comprehensively consider the patient's personal conditions, conduct a comprehensive assessment, and carry out necessary examinations and treatments. Through the fine operation of pretreatment, the success rate of IVF treatment can be improved, creating a happy family for couples.
