What technology is the second generation IVF embryo transfer?
The second generation of IVF embryo transfer is an assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive in a natural way realize their reproductive dreams. Through IVF embryo transfer, doctors will implant the embryos that have undergone in vitro fertilization and culture into women's uterus, thus increasing the probability of successful pregnancy. This technology has been developed for many years and has been widely used worldwide. The technical principle, operation process, precautions and some related hospitals of the second generation IVF embryo transfer will be introduced in detail below.
Technical Principles
The technical principle of the second generation IVF embryo transfer mainly includes three steps: in vitro fertilization, culture and embryo implantation.
First of all, doctors will obtain mature eggs from women by taking eggs, and conduct in vitro fertilization with sperm provided by men in the laboratory. This process is usually completed in vitro fertilization test tubes.
Secondly, the fertilized egg will be cultured in the laboratory to promote its development. Doctors will regularly observe the development of the fertilized eggs and select the healthiest embryos for transplantation.
Finally, the doctor implanted the selected embryo into the woman's uterus. This process is usually performed through the vagina, using special guides to gently place the embryo in the uterus. Next, the doctor will observe the implantation of the embryo to determine whether it is successfully embedded in the uterine wall.
Operation process
The second generation IVF embryo transfer is a complex surgical process, which usually requires a professional team to complete.
First, women need to undergo a series of physical examinations to determine their suitability for embryo transfer. These examinations usually include blood tests, ultrasonic examinations, etc.
Next, women usually need a period of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation treatment. The treatment aims to stimulate the ovary to produce multiple follicles and control the development of follicles. Doctors will monitor the size and number of follicles to determine the best time to retrieve eggs.
The process of egg retrieval is usually carried out under anesthesia. Doctors will use ultrasound guided fine needles to puncture the ovary and extract the eggs. This process usually only takes a few minutes. Women will have a rest in the ward for a period of time, and then can go home to continue to recover.
After taking the eggs, the doctor will conduct in vitro fertilization with the sperm provided by the man, and cultivate the fertilized eggs in the laboratory. After the embryo develops to the appropriate stage, the doctor will select the best embryo for transplantation.
Embryo transfer is usually a short surgical procedure that does not require anesthesia. The doctor will use the guide wire to gently place the embryo in the uterus and observe the implantation of the embryo.
matters needing attention
The second generation of IVF embryo transfer is a complex technology that requires close cooperation between patients and doctors. Here are some considerations:
First, choose a formal professional hospital for embryo transfer. There are some well-known reproductive hospitals all over the world, such as Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States, London Maternal and Child Health Hospital in the United Kingdom, etc.
Secondly, patients should be treated according to the doctor's instructions and checked regularly to ensure that they are in good health. At the same time, patients and their families need to understand the risks and possible complications of surgery.
Finally, patients and their families should understand the real causes of infertility and choose appropriate assisted reproductive technology according to the doctor's recommendations. IVF embryo transfer is not applicable to all infertile couples, so it needs doctors' evaluation and advice.
Summary
The second generation of IVF embryo transfer is an assisted reproductive technology that helps infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. Its technical principle includes in vitro fertilization, culture and embryo implantation. The operation process is complex and requires close cooperation between patients and doctors. It is very important to choose a formal professional hospital for surgery. Patients and their families need to pay attention to the doctor's suggestions and understand the risks and possible complications of the operation.
