What is DHEA
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland, which can be converted into male hormone or estrogen in the body. In recent years, DHEA has received more and more attention in the field of assisted reproduction. Many studies have shown that DHEA can be used as an auxiliary treatment to help realize the dream of IVF. However, the use method and effect of DHEA vary from individual to individual.
Effect of DHEA on IVF
First, DHEA can improve women's egg quality. Egg quality is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. Studies have shown that DHEA can increase the number of follicles in the ovary, increase the number of mature eggs in the follicle, and improve the quality of eggs. This is particularly important for women who are older or have difficulty in childbirth.
Secondly, DHEA can improve the quality of endometrium. The quality of endometrium plays an important role in embryo implantation rate. DHEA can promote the proliferation of endometrial membrane cells, increase blood supply, improve the absorption capacity of endometrium to embryos, and thus increase the pregnancy rate of test tube babies.
In addition, DHEA can also increase female estrogen level and improve the function of reproductive system. Low estrogen level will lead to adverse factors such as ovarian dysfunction and ovulation instability. The use of DHEA can improve the estrogen level of women, thereby improving the function of the reproductive system.
Time and dose of DHEA
There is no uniform standard for the time and dose of DHEA. Generally speaking, women begin to use DHEA 3 months before IVF, and the daily dose is 25-75 mg. The specific use method and dosage shall be determined according to personal conditions and doctor's suggestions.
It should be noted that DHEA should be used under the guidance of doctors. Because DHEA is a hormone drug, too high or too low dose may cause side effects. During the use of DHEA, blood and hormone tests should be carried out regularly to ensure the accuracy and safety of the dose.
Key to the success of IVF
In addition to using DHEA, there are many other factors involved in IVF success. First of all, it is very important to choose the right hospital and doctor. For example, some well-known IVF hospitals, such as Beijing Maternity Hospital and Shanghai Maternity Hospital, have professional medical teams and advanced equipment to provide better medical services.
Secondly, age is one of the important factors that affect the success rate of IVF. The fertility of women begins to decline after the age of 35, so carrying out IVF as soon as possible can improve the success rate. In addition, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as quitting smoking, limiting drinking and maintaining moderate weight, can also improve the success rate of IVF.
Finally, emotional stability and psychological relief are also crucial to the success of IVF. The process of IVF may bring physical and mental pressure, so it is necessary to seek psychological counseling and support.
summary
As an auxiliary treatment, DHEA can improve the quality of female eggs, improve the quality of endometrium, and increase the level of female estrogen, thus improving the success rate of IVF. However, the use time and dosage of DHEA should be determined according to personal conditions and doctor's recommendations. In addition, choosing the right hospital and doctor, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and emotional stability are also key factors to realize the IVF dream. We hope that the above information can help people in need to achieve their dream of IVF.
