What is the process of IVF test item
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In the process of IVF, examination items play a very important role in order to ensure the health of mother and embryo and improve the success rate of pregnancy. The flow of IVF test items will be described in detail below.
1. Male semen examination
The first step is to examine the male semen. This is an important indicator for evaluating male fertility. Usually, men need to collect semen samples in a virus-free environment, and then send the samples to the hospital laboratory for analysis. Semen examination includes sperm quantity, vitality, morphology, semen liquefaction time and other items.
After the examination, the doctor will formulate the corresponding treatment plan for men according to the results. Sometimes more in-depth semen tests, such as semen culture and sex hormone levels, may be required.
2. Female reproductive system inspection
The examination of female reproductive system is another important link in the process of IVF. The purpose of these examinations is to assess a woman's fertility and determine whether there are any health problems that may hinder pregnancy.
Common female reproductive system inspection items include: uterine morphology and structure inspection, endometrial thickness inspection, tubal patency inspection, ovarian function inspection, etc. These examinations are usually performed by ultrasound, contrast agent, or endoscope.
The doctor will give corresponding suggestions and treatment plans according to the examination results. For example, if the endometrium is found to be too thin, auxiliary treatment may be needed to increase the chance of successful pregnancy.
3. Doctor Miao's screening inspection
The purpose of IVF screening is to ensure the health of embryos and improve the success rate of pregnancy. The most commonly used methods are embryo chromosome examination and gene mutation screening.
The purpose of embryo chromosome examination is to exclude embryos with chromosome abnormalities and reduce the risk of early abortion and birth of babies with chromosome abnormalities. Embryonic gene mutation screening is mainly to screen the risk of genetic diseases, including asexual chromosome diseases and autosomal dominant genetic diseases.
These tests are usually performed before embryo transfer, and doctors will collect embryo samples and send them to the laboratory for genetic testing. According to the test results, doctors can choose healthy embryos for transplantation to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
4. Routine examination before pregnancy
After the success of IVF transplantation, women need to undergo routine pre pregnancy examinations to ensure the health of the mother and promote the healthy development of the embryo.
Routine examination items include: blood routine examination, urine routine examination, liver and kidney function examination, thyroid function examination, hepatitis B and HIV antibody detection. These tests are designed to eliminate any potential health problems that may affect pregnancy and ensure a smooth pregnancy.
Although the above is the routine IVF test procedure, the specific test items and procedures may vary depending on the individual differences between hospitals and patients. Before IVF treatment, it is recommended to consult with the doctor in detail to understand the specific inspection items and procedures.
summary
The process of IVF examination usually includes male semen examination, female reproductive system examination, embryo screening examination and routine pre pregnancy examination. The purpose of these examinations is to assess the fertility of the couple, check the health of the embryo and ensure the health of the mother. The results of each step will be based on individual conditions to develop appropriate treatment programs to improve the success rate of IVF pregnancy.
Before IVF treatment, it is recommended that both husband and wife should actively cooperate and fully cooperate with the doctor's inspection and treatment plan to improve the success rate.
