Precautions for IVF
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has helped many infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. However, IVF is not a simple process, and couples should pay attention to some important matters when participating in it.
Select a regular hospital
IVF needs to be carried out in formal medical institutions, so it is very important to choose a qualified and experienced hospital. In China, some top hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, have IVF programs. When choosing a hospital, couples should consider the professional level, success rate and clinical experience of the hospital. In addition, it is also important to understand the diagnosis and treatment process and cost of the hospital.
It is very important to carry out IVF under the guidance of professional doctors. Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on the couple's physical conditions, infertility causes and laboratory examination results. In the whole process, the couple needs to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
Psychological preparation and communication
Test tube baby is a physical and mental test, and couples need to have good psychological preparation. After a long period of infertility, the couple hoped to solve the problem through IVF treatment. However, the success rate of IVF is not 100%, and couples need to be prepared. Whether successful or unsuccessful, couples need to fully communicate with their families and doctors to reduce their psychological burden.
Couples can also consider joining IVF support groups to communicate with experienced couples. Sharing experience with other couples can help each other better cope with the pressure and emotional fluctuations caused by IVF.
Lifestyle change
Couples need to change their lifestyle during IVF to improve the success rate. First of all, couples should maintain healthy living habits, including reasonable diet, moderate exercise and early to bed and early to rise. In addition, it is necessary to stop smoking and drinking. Smoking and alcohol abuse will reduce the probability of pregnancy and increase the risk of pregnancy complications.
At the same time, couples should also avoid exposure to some harmful substances, such as toxic chemicals, radiation and heavy metals, so as not to affect embryonic development. In addition, couples also need to avoid overwork and mental stress, and maintain a good attitude and rest.
Monitoring and recuperation
Close monitoring and recuperation are required during IVF. The doctor will carry out regular inspection according to the treatment plan, such as ultrasonic inspection, blood testing, etc., to determine the development of eggs and the appropriate time for pregnancy.
In terms of recuperation, couples need to follow the doctor's advice, especially to avoid strenuous exercise and sexual life, so as to protect the safety of embryos. In addition, couples should maintain emotional stability and avoid tension and anxiety caused by trivial matters.
summary
As an advanced reproductive technology, IVF has brought hope to infertile couples. However, in the process of IVF, couples need to choose a formal hospital, be mentally prepared and communicate well, change their lifestyle, monitor and recuperate. These precautions will help to improve the success rate of IVF and provide more hope for couples to realize their reproductive dreams.
