Preparation of IVF
IVF is a method of assisted reproduction through in vitro fertilization technology, which enables many couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their desire to have children. However, the preparation process of IVF requires certain medical and technical conditions. The following details the matters needing attention when preparing IVF from four aspects.
Select the right hospital
First, it is very important to choose a suitable hospital. IVF babies need professional reproductive technology and equipment, so hospitals with good technical strength and rich experience should be selected. When selecting a hospital, you can evaluate the reliability of the hospital by checking the hospital's diagnosis and treatment equipment and expert team, as well as understanding its success rate and patient feedback. Well known IVF hospitals in China, such as the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the Reproductive Center of the Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, are very reliable choices.
Secondly, we should understand the service process and cost of the hospital. The preparation of test tube babies usually requires multiple cycles and multiple examinations. Therefore, when selecting a hospital, it is necessary to ensure a clear understanding of the hospital's service process, including specific examination items and treatment plans. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the cost of IVF, including medical costs, drug costs and other costs that may occur, so as to avoid increasing the burden of couples due to cost problems in the preparation process.
Conduct a comprehensive physical examination
Before preparing test tube babies, couples should have a comprehensive physical examination. The woman needs to carry out a detailed gynecological examination, including evaluation of uterus, ovary and endocrine, to determine whether it is suitable for IVF. The man also needs to conduct semen analysis to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. In addition, it is also necessary to conduct genetic examination on both spouses to exclude the risk of genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities.
During the physical examination, the couple needs to cooperate with the doctor's request and actively provide relevant information. At the same time, doctors should be informed of the couple's medical history, drug allergy history and current living habits, so that doctors can formulate appropriate treatment plans according to specific conditions.
Follow the doctor's treatment plan
During the preparation of IVF, doctors will formulate individualized treatment plans according to the physical examination results, age, ovulation test and other factors of the couple. Couples need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, such as taking drugs on time, injecting drugs, ovulation monitoring, etc. At the same time, couples need to pay attention to their living habits, maintain good eating and sleeping habits, and avoid exposure to substances harmful to embryos, such as cigarettes, alcohol and caffeine.
Preparation of IVF requires patience and perseverance, as it may take several cycles to succeed. The couple should maintain a positive attitude, believe in the skills of the expert team and their own physical conditions, and cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan to follow up the whole process.
Receive psychological guidance and support
The preparation process of IVF is a challenge for couples both physically and mentally. Therefore, before preparing IVF, couples should receive psychological counseling, understand the whole process of IVF and possible difficulties and pressures, learn coping skills and relaxation methods, and maintain a good attitude.
In addition, couples can also participate in the support group of IVF patients, and communicate, share and help others with similar experiences. This can reduce the anxiety and loneliness of the couple in the preparation process, and get emotional support and comfort.
summary
The preparation of IVF is a complex and challenging process, which requires couples to choose the appropriate hospital, conduct comprehensive physical examination, follow the doctor's treatment plan, and receive psychological counseling and support. Through the above efforts and cooperation, the couple is expected to realize their reproductive aspirations and usher in a healthy and happy family.
