The IVF process has certain requirements for the health of both the couple.

Shanda Hospital provides a variety of assisted reproductive treatments, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and frozen embryo transfer. When choosing the treatment mode, the doctor will recommend the most appropriate scheme according to the specific situation of the couple.
If the female ovary function is normal, the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process can be selected. The process includes promoting ovarian development through hormone drugs, collecting eggs at the appropriate time, then fertilizing with the sperm provided by the man, finally cultivating the fertilized eggs to the embryonic development stage, and then transferring the embryos to the woman's uterus.
If the quality of male sperm is low, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be selected. This process is to improve the success rate of fertilization by injecting a single sperm directly into the egg.
If there are concerns about ovarian function or ovarian function decline, frozen eggs or embryo transfer may be a better choice. This requires that when women are young and their ovaries function normally, eggs should be collected and frozen for future transplantation into the uterus.
