Operation process of IVF

IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. This technology has been widely used in modern medicine, but for many people, the specific operation process of IVF is still a mystery. The operation process of IVF will be introduced in detail from the following aspects.

Hospital selection and preliminary evaluation

The first step in IVF is to choose a reliable hospital. When selecting, it is recommended to consider professional hospitals with rich experience in IVF. In the preliminary assessment, the doctor will know the marital status of the couple, the reason for infertility, the treatment methods that have been tried and other relevant information. Doctors may also carry out a series of examinations to ensure that the physical condition of the couple is suitable for IVF. Next, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the preliminary evaluation results. The program includes drug treatment, egg collection, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation.

Drug therapy and egg collection

Before IVF treatment, women need hormone therapy to promote the production and maturation of eggs. Doctors will prescribe corresponding drugs according to women's physiological conditions and treatment plans. The time and dosage of hormone therapy vary from person to person, and doctors will adjust them according to individual conditions. Egg collection is usually carried out within 10-14 days after hormone treatment. This process is conducted by transvaginal ultrasound guided puncture, which is painless for women. The doctor will use an aspirator to extract the eggs from the ovary through the puncture needle. This process generally requires local anesthesia.

In vitro fertilization and embryo culture

In vitro fertilization (IVF) refers to the artificial combination of the extracted eggs and sperm donated by men in vitro. Eggs and sperm are cultured in a petri dish for a period of time to fertilize them naturally. The doctor will choose the appropriate fertilization method according to the specific situation, including routine culture and micro fertilization. After successful fertilization, the embryo will be placed in a petri dish for culture. During this period, doctors will choose the best time for transplantation according to the development of embryos. Generally, the incubation time is 3-5 days.

Embryo transfer and pregnancy observation

Embryo transfer is the last step in the whole IVF process. Doctors transfer high-quality embryos into a woman's uterus through a catheter, usually through the vagina. The transplant process is usually painless and does not require general anesthesia. After surgery, women need to continue taking drugs for a period of time to promote embryo implantation. The doctor will regularly observe the pregnancy, and confirm whether the pregnancy is successful through blood test or ultrasonic examination. To sum up, the operation process of IVF includes hospital selection and preliminary evaluation, drug treatment and egg collection, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, as well as embryo transfer and pregnancy observation. Through scientific operation and the application of medical technology, IVF provides a reliable choice for couples who cannot conceive naturally.
