How does Hefei IVF operate?
Test tube baby technology is an important technology of modern medicine, which can help those couples who are difficult to conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. Hefei has many hospitals with IVF technology and equipment, such as Hefei Modern Gynecology Hospital, Anhui Maternal and Child Health Hospital, etc. The following will elaborate on the specific operation of IVF in Hefei from four aspects: patient screening, assisted reproductive technology, hormone therapy and embryo transfer.
Patient screening
Before IVF, doctors will conduct a series of examinations and evaluations on couples to ensure that they are suitable for IVF technology. First of all, the doctor will understand the basic information of the couple, including age, marital status and birth history. Secondly, doctors will check the reproductive system, such as the shape of women's uterus and the patency of fallopian tubes. Men need semen analysis and reproductive hormone tests. Finally, couples also need to carry out a series of genetic counseling and testing to exclude the possibility of genetic diseases.
According to the examination results, the doctor will discuss with the couple about the appropriate assisted reproductive technology, and explain the possible risks and success rate in detail.
Assisted reproductive technology
In IVF technology, the commonly used assisted reproductive technologies include in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. IVF refers to the in vitro fertilization of female eggs and male sperm, the formation of embryos and then implantation into the female uterus. This process requires doctors to give hormone treatment to women to promote the development of multiple eggs. Sperm and egg combine in the laboratory to form an embryo. Doctors will select high-quality embryos for transplantation to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
During the transfer process, doctors will use special tools to transfer the embryo to the uterus of a woman. After transplantation, women need to continue taking hormone drugs to help embryo implantation and pregnancy continue.
hormone therapy
Hormone therapy plays an important role in IVF. Before IVF, doctors will prescribe appropriate hormone drugs according to their conditions. Hormone drugs can promote ovarian development and increase the quantity and quality of ovulation. In addition, hormone drugs can also adjust the menstrual cycle of women to adapt to the timing of test tube babies.
Hormone treatment is carried out according to individual conditions. Doctors will adjust the type and dosage of hormone drugs according to the specific physiological conditions and treatment progress of each patient.
embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the last and most critical step of IVF technology. The choice of embryo transfer time is very important. Doctors will decide the best transfer time according to the patient's condition and embryo quality. Generally, embryo transfer occurs from the 3rd to the 5th day after fertilization.
When an embryo is transferred, the doctor will use a catheter to put the embryo into a woman's uterus. The transplant process is usually painless or slightly painful, without hospitalization, and patients can go home after a short rest in the hospital.
Summary
The IVF technology in Hefei has been quite mature. Doctors have helped many couples successfully achieve their fertility aspirations through patient screening, assisted reproductive technology, hormone therapy, embryo transfer and other operational steps. It is hoped that this technology can continue to improve and bring joy of new life to more couples.
