What is the process of IVF in Shenzhen Armed Police Hospital?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. As a professional reproductive medical institution, Shenzhen Armed Police Hospital provides the whole process service of IVF. The flow of IVF in Shenzhen Armed Police Hospital will be introduced in detail from four aspects.
Patient assessment and preparation
First, the patient needs to go to the gynecological and reproductive medical center of Shenzhen Armed Police Hospital to make an appointment for an expert interview. Experts will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient, including health status, birth history, infertility reasons, etc. At the same time, necessary physical examination and laboratory examination will be carried out to determine the appropriate treatment scheme.
On the basis of evaluation, doctors will discuss with patients the feasibility, success rate, possible risks and side effects of IVF. If both parties reach an agreement and decide to carry out IVF, the doctor will explain the treatment steps, precautions, costs and other information in detail. The patient needs to sign the informed consent form and begin to prepare relevant materials.
It should be noted that patients may need to make some physical adjustments and economic preparations before IVF, such as smoking cessation, alcohol abstinence, maintaining normal weight, healthy diet, etc. These preparations help to improve the success rate of IVF.
Ovulation induction and egg collection
After the preparation phase, the patient goes to the next step - ovulation promotion and egg collection.
First, patients need ovulation induction therapy. Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans according to the patients' conditions, promote ovarian ovulation through drugs, and monitor the growth of follicles. After the follicle matures, the doctor will arrange an egg collection operation.
Egg collection is usually carried out in the operating room of the hospital. The patient will operate under anesthesia, and the doctor will take out the eggs through the vagina. This process is generally short and not too painful. The eggs collected will be examined, evaluated and processed in the laboratory.
Sperm processing and fertilization
After egg collection, doctors will adopt the fertilization method, which usually has two options: in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracellular sperm injection (ICSI).
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is to put the egg and about 50000 sperm together in a culture dish, so that the sperm can fertilize the egg autonomously. ICSI injects a single sperm into the egg under a microscope.
The fertilized embryo will be further cultured in the culture dish and the quality will be evaluated. Generally speaking, the healthiest one or several embryos will be selected and transferred to the patient's uterus after 3-5 days.
Embryo transfer and pregnancy
Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF. Doctors use thin tubes to transfer embryos into a patient's uterus, a process that usually does not require anesthesia. After transplantation, patients need to rest for a period of time, follow the doctor's instructions, and wait for pregnancy results.
After the pregnancy test is positive, the patient needs to continue to visit again regularly for pregnancy health care and monitoring. If all goes well, IVF will be born successfully, bringing happiness and joy to couples.
Summary
The procedures of IVF in Shenzhen Armed Police Hospital include patient assessment and preparation, ovulation promotion and egg collection, sperm processing and fertilization, embryo transfer and pregnancy. The whole process needs to be determined according to personal circumstances, which may take several weeks to several months. Although IVF is a complex and time consuming process, through the guidance and support of professional teams, couples who cannot conceive naturally have the opportunity to realize their dream parent-child complex.
