Operation steps of IVF

IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples with fertility problems to achieve their reproductive aspirations. The implementation of this technology requires a series of operation steps to ensure the improvement of the success rate. The following will elaborate on the operation steps of IVF from four aspects: patient preparation, ovarian stimulation, egg collection and fertilized embryo transfer.

Patient preparation

Before IVF, the doctor will first understand the patient's medical history and fertility problems, conduct a comprehensive physical examination, and develop an individualized treatment plan based on the examination results. The patient needs to carry out some necessary examinations, such as blood examination, reproductive system examination, etc., to ensure that the physical condition is suitable for IVF. After determining that the patient is suitable for IVF, the doctor will introduce the operation process and possible risks of IVF to the patient in detail and obtain the consent of the patient. Patients need to sign an informed consent form and participate in multiple consultation discussions to ensure that they understand and accept the risks and uncertainties of IVF.

Ovarian stimulation

Ovarian stimulation is the first step of IVF, which aims to promote the development and maturation of eggs and increase the number of eggs collected. The patient needs to inject growth hormone every day, and the doctor will adjust the hormone dose according to the ovarian stimulation feedback. In addition, patients also need to go to the hospital every week for ultrasonic examination to observe the growth of eggs. Generally speaking, the cycle of ovarian stimulation is 10-14 days, and the doctor will determine the time of egg collection after the ultrasound examination shows that the eggs have matured.

Egg collection

Egg collection is the core step of IVF and one of the most critical links. Before egg collection in the operating room, patients need intravenous anesthesia or local anesthesia. Under the guidance of ultrasound, doctors will puncture a slender needle into the ovarian cyst to suck out the mature eggs. This process usually lasts 10-15 minutes. After egg collection, the patient can return to the ward for rest.

Fertilized embryo transfer

Fertilized embryo transfer is the last step of IVF, and also the most expected link. Generally speaking, on the second day after egg collection, the doctor will put the sperm and egg into the culture dish for in vitro fertilization. After successful fertilization, the embryo will continue to be cultured in the incubator until the third or fifth day. Doctors will decide the number of embryos transferred according to the quality of the embryos and the age of the patient. On the day of transplantation, carefully selected embryos are placed into the uterus through vaginal cannula, a process that usually does not require anesthesia. After transplantation, patients need to have a rest for a period of time, and take relevant medication according to the doctor's order to increase the probability of implantation. To sum up, the operation steps of IVF include patient preparation, ovarian stimulation, egg collection and fertilized embryo transfer. This process requires the cooperation and patience of doctors and patients. Although IVF technology is a complex reproductive technology, it is helpful to improve the success rate and realize couples' reproductive aspirations after scientific and reasonable operation steps.
