Can ovarian polycystic disease be assisted by IVF?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive system disease, which affects the fertility of many women. Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, so can patients with polycystic ovary be assisted by test tube baby? This article will elaborate this problem from many aspects.
Hormone regulation therapy
Patients with polycystic ovary often have elevated androgen levels, leading to abnormal ovulation or anovulation. The first step of IVF is often hormone regulation therapy, which can inhibit androgen secretion and help promote follicular development by using oral contraceptives or other drugs. This treatment can help patients with polycystic ovary to establish a normal menstrual cycle and increase the possibility of ovulation.
However, IVF may not be suitable for some patients with poor hormone regulation therapy. Because egg collection and in vitro fertilization are required in the process of IVF, the quality of eggs in patients with polycystic ovary may be poor, which affects the success rate of in vitro fertilization.
Ovarian stimulation and egg collection
Patients with polycystic ovary usually need ovarian stimulation and egg collection before receiving IVF. Ovarian stimulation is the use of synthetic ovulation promoting drugs to promote the development of multiple follicles in the ovary, increasing the chance of fertilization. Then, the painless acupuncture technique is used to collect the eggs in the follicle.
For patients with polycystic ovary, ovarian stimulation may face higher challenges. Due to the existence of polycystic ovaries, the ovaries are often polycystic, and the follicles are uneven, so it is difficult to determine the best collection time. Therefore, when choosing IVF hospitals, we should choose experienced hospitals that can develop individualized ovarian stimulation programs according to the specific conditions of patients and monitoring results.
Embryo culture and transfer
One of the difficulties that patients with polycystic ovary may face during in vitro fertilization is poor egg quality. In the process of IVF, the fertilized egg will be cultured and the most suitable embryo will be selected for transplantation. However, the eggs of patients with polycystic ovary may have chromosome abnormalities and low maturity, which may affect the quality of embryos.
In view of the situation of patients with polycystic ovary, we should pay attention to the technical level of embryo culture and evaluation when selecting IVF hospitals. Some advanced hospitals may use gene detection technology or other embryo evaluation methods to screen out healthier embryos and improve the success rate of transplantation.
Psychological support and all-round nursing
In the face of the special situation of patients with polycystic ovary, psychological support and comprehensive nursing during IVF are very important. IVF itself is a complex and long process. In addition to the physiological and psychological pressure that patients with polycystic ovary may face, when selecting IVF hospitals, we should consider the psychological counseling, psychological support and comprehensive care services provided by them.
summary
Whether patients with polycystic ovary can be assisted by IVF depends on individual conditions and the technical level of the hospital. Although polycystic ovary may bring some difficulties to the IVF process, it is still hopeful to help patients with polycystic ovary to realize their dream of gestating life by selecting appropriate hospitals, carrying out individualized treatment plans, and providing all-round support and care.
