IVF in the Third Hospital: How to apply?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve fertility. The Third Hospital is one of the famous IVF hospitals in China, providing professional IVF services. The application process of IVF in the Third Hospital will be introduced in detail from four aspects.
1. Initial consultation
During the initial consultation, the couple will have a face-to-face discussion with the IVF doctor, who will conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the specific situation of the couple and provide corresponding suggestions. First, couples need to provide detailed personal and family medical history. In addition, doctors will carry out comprehensive physical examinations and necessary laboratory examinations for couples to assess their reproductive health. Doctors will develop personalized IVF programs based on the examination results, including selecting appropriate assisted reproductive technology and treatment programs.
During the initial consultation, the doctor will also explain in detail the principle and operation process of IVF, as well as the possible risks and success rate. Couples can ask questions and resolve any concerns. The doctor will develop a personalized IVF plan according to the needs and conditions of the couple, including treatment cycle, medication plan and ovulation control.
After the initial consultation, the couple can decide whether to continue to apply for IVF. If they decide to continue, they will sign an IVF treatment agreement with the hospital and make further preparations.
2. Preparation before treatment
Before IVF treatment, couples need to make some preparations. First, the woman needs ovulation induction treatment to increase the number of eggs. This usually involves the use of drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The doctor will adjust the medication plan according to personal needs and conditions. At the same time, the man needs to provide semen samples for the subsequent fertilization process.
In addition to drug treatment, the woman also needs to have ultrasound and blood tests to monitor the development of follicles and the time of ovulation. The doctor will adjust the treatment plan according to the examination results.
In addition, couples also need psychological counseling to cope with the pressure and emotional fluctuations that may be caused by IVF treatment. They can participate in the psychological support group provided by the hospital or have individual consultation with professional psychological consultants.
3. Fertilization and embryo transfer
After the preparation of eggs and sperm is completed, the doctor will conduct in vitro fertilization. This is usually done by placing eggs and sperm in a culture dish and letting them naturally combine or by microinjection. Doctors will choose the healthiest embryo for transplantation.
Embryo transfer is usually carried out three to five days after the woman's ovulation induction treatment. The doctor will use a thin tube to gently place the embryo in the uterus. This process is usually simple, painless, and quick to complete.
After the transfer, the woman needs a rest to ensure the normal implantation of the embryo. At this stage, doctors may recommend some drugs to help embryo implantation and increase pregnancy rate.
4. Pregnancy monitoring and pregnancy maintenance
After a successful transplant, the woman needs to be monitored for pregnancy, usually through blood tests and ultrasound. The doctor will adjust the treatment plan according to the monitoring results and provide necessary support and guidance for pregnancy.
In the Third Hospital, the professional medical team will provide couples with full pregnancy maintenance services, including high-risk pregnancy management, pregnancy inspection and pregnancy health care. The doctor will work with the couple to develop a pregnancy health care plan, and carry out regular follow-up visits and examinations according to personal conditions.
In conclusion, the Third Hospital provides comprehensive IVF services, including initial consultation, preparation before treatment, fertilization and embryo transfer, as well as pregnancy monitoring and pregnancy maintenance. Through the detailed application process, couples can understand the specific process of IVF and realize their reproductive dreams under the guidance of doctors.
