The role of hysteroscopy in IVF

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who fail to conceive naturally after a period of time to achieve their reproductive aspirations. In the process of IVF, hysteroscopy, as an effective medical tool, can inspect and repair the uterine cavity, thus improving the success rate of IVF.

1. Hysteroscopy examination of uterine cavity

Hysteroscopy is inserted into the uterine cavity through the vagina, which can clearly and intuitively observe the shape of the uterine cavity, the condition of the endometrium, and possible pathological changes. Through hysteroscopy, doctors can find abnormalities in the uterine cavity, such as hysteromyoma, adenomyosis, etc. These abnormalities may affect the implantation of fertilized eggs and the development of embryos, thereby reducing the success rate of IVF. Through hysteroscopy, doctors can find and deal with these abnormalities in a timely manner, creating a good internal environment for the success of IVF.

At the same time, hysteroscopy can also eliminate other possible problems, such as endometrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions, etc. If these problems are not found and handled in time, they may also have a negative impact on the success rate of IVF.

2. Endometrium repair by hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy can not only check the uterine cavity, but also repair endometrial problems through corresponding operations. For example, in the case of endometrial polyps, doctors can remove the polyps through hysteroscopy to eliminate the obstacles to embryo implantation. For intrauterine adhesions, doctors can also release the adhesions through hysteroscopy to restore the normal shape of the endometrium.

Endometrial problems often exist in IVF infertility patients. Hysteroscopic repair surgery can effectively solve these problems and improve the implantation rate and pregnancy rate of embryos.

3. Hysteroscopy provides a clean uterine environment for test tube babies

During the hysteroscopy operation, the intrauterine cavity needs to be filled with liquid. This perfusion can not only help doctors observe the condition of the uterus, but also clean the intrauterine cavity and remove potential pathogens and blood clots. This can provide a cleaner uterine environment for IVF, reduce the risk of intrauterine infection, and improve the success rate of embryo implantation and development.

4. Risks and indications of hysteroscopic surgery

Although hysteroscopy has obvious benefits in IVF, there are certain surgical risks. Common complications include uterine perforation, endometritis and infection. Therefore, before choosing hysteroscopic surgery, doctors need to comprehensively assess the patient's physical condition and surgical risks, and make reasonable decisions.

Hysteroscopic surgery is generally applicable to the examination and treatment of test tube babies, including endometriosis, abnormal uterine cavity morphology, unexplained infertility, etc. Hysteroscopic surgery can also be used as a further treatment option for some patients who have failed to succeed in IVF for many times.

summary

Hysteroscopy plays an important role in IVF. The success rate of IVF can be improved through hysteroscopy and repair of problems in the uterine cavity. Hysteroscopic surgery provides a clean uterine environment for IVF and reduces the risk of infection. However, hysteroscopic surgery also has certain risks and indications. It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the patients' conditions under the guidance of doctors and make a reasonable treatment plan.
