Necessity and value of test tube baby examination
IVF means that the fertilized eggs are cultured in a test tube through artificial fertilization technology, and the normal embryos are implanted into the mother, helping couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In the whole process of IVF, inspection items play a vital role in ensuring the success rate of IVF technology and the health of infants. The necessity and value of IVF test items are described in detail in the following four aspects.
1. Ovulation induction test
Ovulation induction test is one of the key steps in IVF technology. By examining the ovarian function and ovarian hormone levels of women, we can determine whether ovulation induction therapy is necessary. Ovulation induction therapy can stimulate the ovary to produce more mature follicles and increase the chance of pregnancy. Ovulation induction test can help to determine the appropriate treatment plan and ensure the good ovarian function, thus improving the success rate of IVF.
In addition, ovulation induction test can also evaluate the reserve of female ovary, that is, the number of eggs remaining in the ovary. This is particularly important for older women, because with age, ovarian function will gradually decline, and the quality of eggs will also decline. By examining the ability to promote ovulation, couples can be provided with more accurate treatment recommendations.
In addition, ovulation induction test can also exclude women with ovarian diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, so as to prevent these diseases from affecting IVF technology. Therefore, ovulation induction test is necessary and valuable in IVF technology.
2. Semen analysis
Semen analysis is an important examination item to evaluate the function of male reproductive system. The health status of male fertility can be judged by detecting the number, activity rate, morphology and other indicators of sperm in semen samples. If the man's sperm quality is not qualified, it may lead to a decrease in the fertilization rate, thus affecting the success rate of IVF technology.
Semen analysis can also assess whether men have potential fertility problems, such as seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis and other diseases. If these diseases are not treated in time, they may have a lasting impact on sperm quality and fertility. Therefore, the necessity and value of semen analysis in IVF technology cannot be ignored.
In addition, semen analysis can also help doctors to choose appropriate pregnancy aid methods, such as natural pregnancy or sperm extraction. Through semen analysis results, doctors can provide couples with personalized treatment plans to improve the success rate of IVF.
3. Detection of reproductive hormone
Reproductive hormone tests include female ovarian hormone and male testosterone levels. These hormones are essential for maintaining normal reproductive system function. By detecting the level of female ovarian hormone, we can judge the health status of ovarian function and determine whether it is necessary to use ovulation promoting drugs to regulate ovarian function.
Reproductive hormone testing can also help determine the appropriate time for embryo transfer. According to the level of female ovarian hormone, doctors can judge the development of follicles and the preparation of endometrium, select the best time for transplantation, and improve the success rate of IVF technology.
For men, testosterone testing can assess whether the testicular function is normal or not. The abnormal level of testosterone may be one of the reasons for male infertility. Through the detection of testosterone, doctors can judge the health status of male fertility and carry out targeted treatment.
4. Embryonic genetic testing
Embryonic genetic testing is one of the important steps in IVF technology. Its main purpose is to screen whether there are chromosomal abnormalities or genetic diseases in embryos.
Embryonic genetic testing can eliminate the risk of embryo carrying chromosome abnormalities and reduce the risk of embryo implantation failure or abortion. Embryonic genetic testing is particularly important for elderly women or couples with a family history of genetic diseases. It can help couples choose healthy embryos for implantation, improve the success rate and reduce the spread of genetic diseases.
In addition, embryonic genetic testing can also screen the sex of embryos. Although gender screening is not necessary for some couples, it can meet the needs of some couples for "gender preference", so that they can better plan their families.
In conclusion, the IVF test item has important necessity and value in the whole IVF technology process. Projects such as ovulation induction test, semen analysis, reproductive hormone test and embryonic genetic test can provide doctors and couples with accurate information, help them choose appropriate treatment schemes, improve the success rate and ensure the health of IVF.
