Specific operation methods of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their fertility aspirations by combining sperm and eggs in the laboratory and transplanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus. The specific operation methods of IVF will be introduced in detail below.
1. In vitro fertilization (IVF)
In vitro fertilization is the core step of IVF, which includes the following main steps:
First, women should receive ovulation induction therapy to increase the number of eggs. Then, at the best time before the egg matures, the doctor will take the egg. The operation was carried out under local anesthesia, and mature eggs were collected by puncturing the ovary. Next, the male sperm is combined with the egg and placed in a culture dish for in vitro fertilization. The fertilized embryo will be cultured in the laboratory for 2-5 days to ensure its normal development. Finally, the doctor will select the healthiest embryo and transplant it into the mother's uterus.
2. Embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF, and it needs to go through the following processes:
First, the doctor will place a thin tube in the mother's uterus and transfer the embryo into the uterus through the vagina and cervix. This is a simple operation and usually does not require anesthesia. Then, the doctor will carry out follow-up observation in the uterus to ensure that the embryo is successfully implanted into the uterine wall, and carry out pregnancy testing.
How about the cost of IVF
The cost of IVF varies from region to region and hospital to hospital. The following is the approximate cost range:
1. In vitro fertilization: about 10000 to 30000 yuan, depending on the specific method of hospital and treatment.
2. Embryo transfer: the cost is about 15000 to 20000 yuan, including the process of embryo culture and transfer.
3. Drug costs: ovulation promoting drugs and other auxiliary drugs cost about 20000 yuan.
It should be noted that this is only a rough range of costs, and the actual costs will also be affected by a variety of factors, including doctors' experience, hospital equipment and service levels.
Risk of IVF surgery
Although IVF technology is very mature, there are still some surgical risks, including:
1. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): in the process of ovulation induction treatment, it may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, leading to ovarian swelling, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms.
2. Multiple pregnancy: IVF technology may lead to multiple pregnancy, increasing the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight and other complications.
3. Complications of the transfer procedure: The embryo transfer operation may lead to uterine bleeding, infection, perforation and other complications.
Summary
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. The specific operation includes in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. In terms of cost, the cost of IVF varies from region to region and hospital, ranging from 10000 yuan to 30000 yuan. However, IVF surgery also carries certain risks, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, multiple pregnancies and complications of transplantation procedures. Therefore, before IVF surgery, couples should consult their doctors and understand the related risks and costs, and make decisions according to their own conditions.
