What tests should Changsha Xiangya test tube baby have?
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology. Many couples have realized their reproductive dreams through this way. Changsha Xiangya Hospital is one of the famous general hospitals in Hunan Province, providing IVF technical services. Before IVF, the doctor will arrange a series of examinations for the couple to ensure the smooth progress of treatment. The following will elaborate on the examination items required in IVF treatment from four aspects: pre implantation examination, female examination, male examination and imaging examination.
1、 Preimplantation examination
Preimplantation inspection is to ensure the quality of embryos and the suitability of female uterus for embryo implantation. The first is hormone level detection, including the estrogen level in the follicular period, to determine whether the endometrium is suitable for embryo implantation. The second is the endometrial thickness inspection. The thickness and shape of the endometrium are checked by ultrasound to determine whether the conditions for embryo implantation are met. In addition, routine blood tests, blood type tests and screening for infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS are also required to ensure the safety of the implantation process.
2、 Female examination
Before IVF treatment, women need to undergo a series of physical examinations to ensure that their physical condition and reproductive system function are normal. The first is gynaecological examination. Through cervical smear and vaginal ultrasound, we can understand the situation of gynecological diseases, such as hysteromyoma, adenomyosis, etc. Next is the ovarian function test, including follicle stimulating hormone, follicle number and ovulation function test, to determine whether the ovarian function is normal. In addition, tubal patency inspection is also required to ensure that sperm and eggs can meet smoothly. Finally, comprehensive physical examinations such as thyroid function examination, blood sugar examination, etc.
3、 Male examination
Men also need to carry out a series of tests before IVF treatment to ensure that the quality and quantity of sperm meet the standard of normal fertility. The first is semen analysis. Through semen examination, we can understand the density, vitality, morphology and other indicators of sperm. The second is sperm DNA fragmentation detection to check whether there is abnormal DNA fragmentation in sperm. In addition, endocrine examination is also needed to know whether the male hormone level is normal. If men have prostatitis, varicocele and other diseases, they also need to be examined.
4、 Imaging examination
In the process of IVF treatment, imaging plays an important role in assessing the status of uterus and ovary, monitoring follicular development and guiding embryo implantation. Common imaging examinations include transvaginal ultrasound, pelvic MRI and salpingography. Transvaginal ultrasound can clearly observe the thickness and shape of endometrium and the development of follicles. Pelvic MRI can more comprehensively evaluate the condition of uterus and nearby organs. Salpingography can determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed, which provides an important reference for treatment.
To sum up, the IVF treatment in Changsha Xiangya Hospital requires four aspects: pre implantation examination, female examination, male examination and imaging examination. These examination items can ensure the smooth progress of treatment and increase the success rate of IVF. If couples plan to receive IVF treatment, it is recommended to go to a formal and professional hospital for examination and treatment to obtain better results.
