Surgical procedures for the third generation of test tube babies in Chongqing
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to irreversible fertility problems to achieve their reproductive aspirations. With the development of science and technology, hospitals in Chongqing have introduced the third-generation IVF technology, which not only improves the success rate of pregnancy, but also reduces the adverse effects on pregnant women and embryos. The following is a detailed introduction to the surgical process of Chongqing's third-generation IVF from four aspects.
Select appropriate hospitals and experts
Before IVF surgery, couples need to choose a hospital with good reputation and advanced technology for consultation and surgery. There are many hospitals specialized in assisted reproductive technology in Chongqing, such as Chongqing Union Medical College Hospital and Chongqing Maternal and Child Health Hospital. When choosing a hospital, couples should pay attention to the equipment and technical level of the hospital and whether the hospital has relevant qualifications. In addition, couples should also choose doctors with rich experience and professional knowledge for consultation and guidance.
When the couple chooses a suitable hospital, they will carry out detailed physical examination and relevant laboratory examination, so that doctors can understand the couple's fertility problems and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
Hormone therapy and egg collection
The first step is to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs through hormone therapy. During this process, women will inject hormone drugs to promote the development and maturation of follicles. Doctors will conduct regular ultrasound and blood tests to determine whether the ovaries have developed to an ideal state.
When the ovaries develop to an ideal state, doctors will use painless anesthesia technology to collect eggs. During the operation, doctors will use ultrasound guided puncture technology to insert a slender suction needle into the ovary through the vagina to suck mature eggs. The eggs collected will be sent to the laboratory for further operation.
Sperm processing and embryo culture
In the laboratory, doctors combine sperm with eggs to create embryos. According to the actual situation, doctors may choose conventional fertilization or assisted pregnancy technologies, such as single sperm injection (ICSI).
Next, the embryo will be placed in a petri dish and cultured in a specific medium. Doctors will regularly check the development of embryos, evaluate their quality, and select the most promising embryos for implantation.
Embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring
At the end of the embryo culture phase, the most promising embryos will be transferred back to the mother's uterus. This process is usually painless, and doctors will use ultrasound guided tubes to transfer embryos into the endometrium. After transplantation, couples need to rest for a period of time to allow the embryo to have the opportunity to implant.
After about two weeks, the doctor will conduct pregnancy monitoring to determine whether the pregnancy is successful by measuring the levels of progesterone and HCG in the blood. If the pregnancy is successful, the couple will continue to receive maternal care and monitoring until the safe birth of the fetus.
Summary
The third generation IVF surgery process in Chongqing includes the selection of appropriate hospitals and experts, hormone therapy and egg collection, sperm treatment and embryo culture, as well as embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring. With the help of advanced technology and the guidance of professional doctors, this process can help couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams.
