What is a test tube baby with a single horn uterus?
In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in women with monocornical uterine syndrome is a kind of baby who has been successfully pregnant and delivered after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Unicornical uterus is a rare uterine malformation, which shows that only one side of the uterus develops normally, while the other side is abnormal or does not exist. This situation will bring infertility problems to women, but through the single horn uterine test tube baby technology, these women have the opportunity to realize their mother's dream.
Treatment process of test tube baby with single horn uterus
The treatment process of test tube babies with single horn uterus is generally divided into the following stages:
The first is a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of the patient, through ultrasound, pelvic endoscopy and other means to determine whether the patient suffers from cornual uterine disease.
The second is ovulation induction therapy, which uses ovulation induction drugs to help patients develop multiple follicles. This can improve the chance of pregnancy, but also increase the chance of selecting high-quality embryos.
The next step is to take eggs and fertilize them. After monitoring the development of follicles to an appropriate size, use minimally invasive technology to take out the eggs in the follicles, and conduct in vitro fertilization with sperm in the laboratory. The obtained fertilized eggs will be cultured in the incubator until they develop into embryos.
Finally, there is embryo transfer. High quality embryos are implanted into the patient's uterine cavity through a slender catheter. After several days of cultivation and development, women may successfully conceive and give birth to healthy children.
Success rate and risk of test tube infants with single horn uterus
The success rate of single horn uterus test tube baby is similar to that of other infertility patients, about 30%~40%. The success rate is affected by many factors, including patient's age, ovulation function, egg and sperm quality, etc.
Compared with other IVF technologies, the risk of IVF with single horn uterus is lower, but there are still some potential problems. For example, due to abnormal uterine morphology, patients may face the risk of pregnancy complications such as premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes and placental abnormalities. In addition, uterine perforation and other accidents may occur during embryo transfer. Therefore, it is very important to select appropriate hospitals and professional doctors.
