FSH examination for IVF

IVF is a method to help infertile couples achieve fertility through assisted reproductive technology. Before IVF, doctors will conduct a series of tests on women, including FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) test. FSH examination can provide information about women's ovarian function and follicle reserve, which is of great significance for the success rate of IVF and for patients to choose appropriate treatment.

Significance of FSH inspection

1. Understand the ovarian function: FSH is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Its main role in women is to stimulate the ovaries to produce follicles. By detecting the level of FSH in blood, we can understand the functional state of women's ovaries. If the FSH level is too high, it may mean that the ovarian function is reduced, which has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF.

2. Evaluation of follicular reserve: FSH examination can help evaluate the follicular reserve of women, that is, how many follicles in the ovary can develop and mature. The adequacy of follicle reserve is very important for the success rate of IVF. If the follicle reserve is insufficient, additional measures may be needed to increase the number of eggs.

3. Develop personalized treatment plan: based on the FSH examination results, doctors can develop personalized IVF treatment plan for patients. For patients with normal ovarian function, only minor adjuvant treatment may be needed; For patients with decreased ovarian function, more intensive treatment may be needed.

How to carry out FSH inspection correctly

1. Choose a suitable test time: FSH levels vary at different stages of the menstrual cycle. Generally speaking, the best test time is from the second to the fourth day of the menstrual cycle. At this time, the FSH level is relatively stable, which can most accurately reflect the ovarian function.

2. Follow the doctor's instructions: Before the FSH examination, be sure to consult the doctor and prepare according to his instructions. This may include discontinuing certain medications or maintaining specific dietary patterns.

3. Blood sampling test: FSH test is conducted by taking blood samples from patients. Professional medical personnel will prepare necessary blood drawing equipment and conduct blood drawing under sterile conditions. After the blood is drawn, the sample will be sent to the laboratory for analysis.

summary

FSH examination plays an important role in IVF. It can provide information about women's ovarian function and follicle reserve, help doctors assess patients' treatment needs, and develop personalized treatment plans. At the same time, it is also very important to conduct FSH examination correctly. Choosing the right test time, following the doctor's guidance, and accurately taking blood samples can improve the accuracy of the examination. Through FSH examination, the success rate of IVF is expected to be improved.
