Inspection and treatment of test tube babies in Run Run Shaw Hospital
As a well-known general hospital, Run Run Shaw Hospital provides a variety of medical services, including IVF related examination and treatment. The professional clinical process of Run Run Shaw Hospital in IVF will be introduced in detail below.
1. Preoperative evaluation and preparation
First of all, the expert team of Run Run Shaw Hospital will carry out preoperative evaluation according to the couple's medical history, physical condition, age and other factors. This assessment will cover such important indicators as the woman's ovarian function, uterine lesions and the man's sperm quality. Through these evaluation results, doctors can determine the appropriate treatment plan.
Next, the doctor will explain the whole process and possible risks of IVF to the couple, answer their questions and ask them to sign the informed consent form. In the whole process, doctors will fully respect the wishes and decisions of the couple to ensure that they fully understand and choose the most suitable treatment scheme.
In the preoperative preparation stage, the couple also need to carry out a series of related examinations, including blood tests B ultrasound, hysteroscopy, etc. These examinations can help doctors understand the physical conditions of the couple and serve as the basis for formulating treatment plans.
2. In vitro fertilization and embryo culture
Once the couple has evaluated and determined the treatment plan, they can start the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. This process usually includes the following steps:
First, women receive ovulation induction therapy to increase the number of ovulation. Doctors will select appropriate ovulation promotion programs according to specific conditions, generally including medication to improve ovarian response and monitor the growth of follicles.
Then, doctors collect mature eggs from women's ovaries through egg retrieval technology. This step is usually performed in the operating room and under general anesthesia. After taking eggs, the eggs will be transferred to the laboratory for in vitro fertilization.
In the laboratory, professional embryologists will use the most advanced technology to combine male sperm with female eggs to fertilize them. After that, the fertilized egg will be cultured in a specific medium to promote its development into an embryo.
3. Embryo transfer and pregnancy detection
After the completion of embryo culture, the doctor will decide whether to carry out embryo transfer according to the specific conditions of the couple. Embryo transfer is usually a short process, by transferring one or several embryos to the uterus of a woman, to increase the chance of pregnancy.
Later, couples need to wait for a period of time until a pregnancy test is performed. The doctor will arrange a suitable time for blood or urine tests to determine whether the pregnancy is successful. If the test result is positive, the couple will enter the pregnancy period; If the result is negative, the doctor will discuss the next steps with the couple.
4. Pregnancy management and postpartum care
If the couple successfully conceives, then the next work will be pregnancy management and postpartum care. Run Run Shaw Hospital has a special obstetric team, which can provide couples with full pregnancy management and prenatal and postnatal care services.
During pregnancy, the doctor will conduct regular prenatal examination to monitor the growth of the fetus and the health of the mother. If there is any problem that needs to be dealt with, the doctor will intervene and treat it in time to ensure the safety of the fetus and mother.
