Polycystic ovary syndrome and test tube baby

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological disease, which is characterized by high androgen levels and multiple follicles that mature in the ovary but cannot be discharged normally. This has led to ovulation problems, making it difficult for many women with PCOS to conceive. However, IVF has been proved to be an effective method to treat PCOS and achieve a smooth birth.

Ovulatory catheter

The first step in IVF is ovulation. For PCOS patients, due to ovulation problems, drug treatment is often necessary. The use of ovulation promoting drugs, such as clomiphene or gonadotropin like hormone, can stimulate ovarian development and promote follicle maturation. This can increase the probability of successful egg retrieval.

During drug treatment, doctors often monitor the development of follicles. Once the follicle size is appropriate, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is usually used to trigger ovulation. This ensures that the eggs are successfully released during egg retrieval.

Egg taking and fertilization

Egg retrieval is usually carried out within 36 hours after the triggering of ovulation. This is usually done in the operating room, and ultrasound-guided puncture is used to accurately remove the eggs. The egg retrieval process usually requires mild anesthesia.

The removed eggs are then fertilized in vitro with their partners or donated sperm. The fertilization process is promoted by injecting sperm directly into the egg. This is done in a laboratory environment and needs to observe the progress of the fertilization process.

Embryo culture and transfer

The fertilized eggs will be further cultured in the laboratory. During the culture process, well developed embryos will be selected. Usually, only the embryos with the most development potential will be selected for transfer to increase the possibility of successful pregnancy.

Embryo transfer is one of the key steps in the process of IVF. During this process, carefully selected embryos will be implanted into the patient's uterus, usually with a catheter. This is a simple process without anesthesia.

summary

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has brought great trouble to female fertility, but this problem has been solved through IVF technology. Through ovulation guidance, oocyte retrieval and fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation and other steps, it can help PCOS patients achieve a smooth birth. However, everyone's condition and treatment results may be different, so it is recommended that women with PCOS consult a professional doctor before undergoing IVF treatment.
