What is IVF?
IVF, also known as artificial insemination baby, is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which combines male sperm and female eggs in the laboratory, and then implants the fertilized eggs into the female uterus, so as to realize the process of pregnancy and delivery. This technology is usually a hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons. As IVF technology has made remarkable progress in recent years, more and more couples choose IVF to realize their dreams.
Select regular hospitals and experts
Choosing a regular hospital and experienced experts is the key to the success of IVF. You can find hospitals with good reputation through recommendation from relatives and friends or investigation on the Internet. Before choosing a hospital, you need to know whether the hospital has a formal reproductive medicine department and whether there are rich IVF success stories. In addition, you can make an appointment for an interview to learn about the professional qualifications and clinical experience of the doctor. Only by choosing regular hospitals and experts can you be more comfortable with IVF.
In addition, distance and cost should also be considered when selecting hospitals. Choosing a hospital close to home can reduce the inconvenience of long-distance travel, and also facilitate daily inspection and follow-up. In addition, the cost of IVF is also a factor to be considered. You need to communicate with the hospital about the cost composition, possible additional costs and refund policy.
Finally, before choosing a hospital, it is necessary to understand the facilities and services of the hospital. A comfortable diagnosis and treatment environment and considerate service will make the whole process more smooth and pleasant.
Physical examination and preparation
Before the IVF process begins, both couples need to undergo a comprehensive reproductive health examination. These examinations include but are not limited to blood examination, urinary system examination and reproductive system examination. Through these examinations, doctors can assess the fertility of couples and find potential problems. If necessary, both parties also need to conduct genetic examination to exclude possible genetic diseases.
In addition, before IVF, some living habits and health problems also need attention. Smoking, drinking, overeating and lack of exercise will have a negative impact on the success rate of IVF. It is recommended that the couple adjust their living habits before starting IVF, and maintain a good state of mind and body.
In terms of physical preparation, women need ovulation induction therapy to promote the ovarian production of multiple eggs. At the same time, women also need to inject artificial insemination drugs to improve the probability of pregnancy. Men need to provide high-quality sperm samples. Before sampling, men need to avoid overwork and sexual life to improve the quality of sperm.
Postoperative care and reexamination
After IVF surgery, careful care and regular reexamination are required. After implantation of the fertilized eggs, women need to follow the doctor's instructions, pay attention to rest and diet. In addition, attention should be paid to avoiding strenuous exercise and sexual life to prevent the shedding of fertilized eggs. During the whole pregnancy, women need to carry out prenatal examination on time to monitor the development of the fetus.
In the re examination after IVF operation, the doctor will check whether the pregnancy is smooth and whether the embryo develops safely. For twin or multiple pregnancy, doctors will also conduct more detailed monitoring and intervention. If any abnormality is found, the doctor will take measures in time to ensure the normal progress of pregnancy.
Summary
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams. When selecting hospitals and experts, it is necessary to select regular hospitals and understand the experience and qualifications of experts. In terms of physical examination and preparation, comprehensive reproductive health examination is needed, and living habits and mentality should be adjusted. Postoperative care and reexamination are also very important. It is necessary to follow the doctor's guidance and regularly return to monitor the development of the fetus. Through correct operation and adequate preparation, IVF is expected to bring healthy and happy babies to couples.
