301 Preparations for IVF operation
301 Test tube baby surgery is an assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. Before this operation, some preparations are necessary.
Medical examination and evaluation
First, couples need to undergo a comprehensive medical examination and assessment. This includes examining the female reproductive system to determine whether ovulation is normal, whether the uterus is suitable for pregnancy, and whether the ovarian function is adequate. For men, semen analysis is needed to check the quantity and quality of sperm. Only after these examinations can doctors determine whether IVF surgery is suitable.
Next, the doctor will evaluate the couple's physical condition and health history. Some chronic diseases, such as diabetes or hypertension, may affect the surgical results, so corresponding treatment measures need to be taken. In addition, doctors will also know about the couple's psychological conditions, because IVF surgery is a major decision for couples.
Use of fertility aids
Before IVF surgery, women need a period of fertility adjuvant drug treatment. These drugs can stimulate the ovary to produce more eggs and improve the chance of pregnancy. The use of drugs should be carried out in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions, including the type, dosage and time of use of drugs.
At this stage, the doctor will also conduct regular ultrasonic monitoring to determine whether the eggs are fully mature and determine the best time for egg retrieval. The use of fertility aids is critical to the success of the operation, so couples need to closely cooperate with the guidance of doctors.
Egg collection and sperm extraction
Egg collection is one of the key steps in IVF surgery. Before surgery, women need to inject hormones to promote the development of eggs, and then collect eggs in the hospital. This is usually accomplished through targeted ovum retrieval guided by transvaginal ultrasound.
At the same time, men need sperm extraction. Depending on the situation, manual semen extraction, vaginal relaxation assisted natural ejaculation or seminal vesicle massage and other methods can be selected to obtain sperm.
Once enough eggs and sperm are obtained, the next step - in vitro fertilization can be started.
In vitro fertilization and transplantation
In vitro fertilization is the combination of eggs and sperm in the laboratory to form an embryo. This process is usually divided into two ways: conventional in vitro fertilization and preimplantation gene testing (PGT). Conventional in vitro fertilization is to inject sperm into the egg and wait for the embryo to develop. If couples want to conduct gene screening on embryos, they can choose PGT technology.
After in vitro fertilization, the doctor will select the well developed embryos for transplantation. This is a simple minimally invasive surgery, which helps embryo implantation and development by transferring the embryo into the uterus of a woman.
After surgery, patients need to pay attention to rest and rehabilitation. The doctor will provide further guidance and nursing suggestions according to individual conditions.
Risks and precautions
301 Although IVF surgery has become the hope of many infertile couples, there are also some risks and precautions.
First, the operation itself may lead to some complications, such as fallopian tube hydrops, endometriosis, multiple pregnancy, etc. The incidence of these complications is relatively low, but it still needs attention.
Second, IVF surgery is not always successful. The success rate will be affected by many factors, such as female age, egg and sperm quality, uterine condition, etc. Therefore, couples should be psychologically prepared and keep realistic expectations for the surgical results.
In addition, the assisted reproductive drugs used during the operation may cause some side effects, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, etc. Patients should closely monitor their physical conditions during drug use and report to the doctor in time.
Finally, IVF surgery is a major psychological shock and challenge for couples. Couples may face anxiety, stress, mood swings and other problems. Therefore, it is very important to seek the support of professional psychological consultation.
Summary
For couples who cannot conceive naturally, 301 IVF surgery is an important fertility choice. Before the operation, medical examination and evaluation are required. Egg collection and sperm extraction are carried out with fertility adjuvant drugs, and then in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer are carried out. However, there are certain risks and precautions during the operation, including surgical complications, uncertainty of success rate, drug side effects and psychological pressure. Therefore, before IVF operation, couples need to fully understand the operation process and closely cooperate with doctors to improve the success rate of the operation and reduce risks.
