Steps of Wenzhou IVF
Test tube baby technology is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which can help couples with fertility disorders to realize their reproductive dreams. As one of the earliest regions in China to develop IVF technology, Wenzhou medical institutions have already had a relatively mature IVF operation process. Next, we will introduce the steps of Wenzhou IVF in detail from four aspects.
1. Preparation before operation
The preoperative preparation of IVF includes two aspects: physical examination and psychological counseling. First of all, the couple needs to receive a comprehensive physical examination, including endocrine system, reproductive system and other related inspection items, to assess the couple's fertility and physical condition. Secondly, professional psychological consultants provide psychological guidance to help couples relieve tension and enhance confidence in IVF.
Preparation before surgery also includes drug treatment, which usually injects ovulation promoting drugs to women to promote the release of multiple eggs from the ovary and increase the chance of pregnancy. In the course of drug treatment, doctors will adjust the medication plan according to different situations and needs.
2. Egg retrieval process
Fetching eggs is one of the key steps in the process of IVF. First of all, according to the appropriate time, the doctor will perform painless egg retrieval in the operating room. Before egg retrieval, doctors will give women anesthesia to ensure the smooth operation.
The operation of egg retrieval mainly includes the following steps: puncture the ovary under the guidance of ultrasound, and extract eggs from the follicle with a slender straw. This process generally lasts 10-20 minutes, and the number of eggs obtained will depend on the situation. After taking the eggs, the doctor will put the eggs into the culture dish for subsequent operations.
3. Fertilization and embryo culture
After the eggs are obtained, they need to be fertilized in vitro with sperm. In the laboratory, doctors will put eggs and sperm in a culture dish with nutrient solution to promote fertilization. Generally, the fertilization process takes 24-48 hours to confirm whether the fertilized egg is obtained.
Once the fertilized egg is formed, the doctor will transfer it to the incubator for embryo culture. In the process of embryo culture, doctors will regularly detect the development of embryos and screen the most potential embryos for implantation into the uterus.
4. Intrauterine implantation and pregnancy
Intrauterine implantation is the last step in the IVF process. After the doctor determines the appropriate time, carefully selected embryos will be implanted into the uterus through the vagina and cervix to promote the continued development of embryos in the uterus. The procedure of intrauterine implantation is very simple and painless.
After intrauterine implantation, couples need to pay attention to rest and diet, and avoid strenuous exercise and fatigue. The doctor will give corresponding drug support and advice according to the embryonic development and female physical condition. Within two weeks after implantation, blood or urine examination shall be carried out to confirm whether the pregnancy is successful.
summary
Wenzhou, as one of the earliest regions to develop IVF technology, has a relatively mature IVF operation process. The steps of IVF in Wenzhou include preoperative preparation, egg retrieval process, fertilization and embryo culture, as well as intrauterine implantation and pregnancy. Through the above steps, many couples have achieved their dream of a healthy baby.
