Inspection of test tube baby before seeding
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. The fertilized eggs are cultured in vitro by artificial means, and then transferred back to the mother's uterus. Before IVF, a series of examinations should be carried out to ensure that the embryo can be successfully embedded into the endometrium and increase the success rate of pregnancy. The following will introduce the examination required before IVF seeding from four aspects: physical condition, reproductive system health, genetic disease and mental health.
Physical examination
Before starting IVF, women need to have a comprehensive physical examination. This includes blood routine test, urine routine test, liver function test, kidney function test, electrocardiogram test, etc. These examinations can help doctors understand the patient's physical condition and eliminate the possible adverse effects of chronic diseases, allergic reactions or infections on pregnancy and embryonic development.
In addition, women also need to carry out gynecological examinations, such as cervical smear examination, endometrial thickness measurement and follicle development monitoring. These examinations help to assess the status of the female reproductive system and ensure the good development of endometrium and the healthy maturation of eggs.
In addition to women, men also need a semen test. Semen analysis can assess the quality and quantity of men's sperm and determine whether there are fertility related problems.
Reproductive system health examination
Before IVF seeding, women also need to undergo a series of reproductive system health checks. This includes hysteroscopy, which is used to check whether there are any abnormalities in the endometrium, such as polyps, uterine fibers, etc., and some treatment operations can be carried out through this examination.
For women with tubal patency, salpingography is also required. This examination can determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed, so as to select the appropriate treatment plan for ovulation or test tube baby.
In some special cases, doctors may also recommend chromosome examination, immune factor examination and blood type matching. These examinations are helpful to find the inevitable fertility disorder and provide basis for the follow-up treatment plan.
Genetic disease examination
The genetic disease examination before IVF seeding is particularly important for couples with a family history of genetic diseases. Through gene testing, it is possible to screen whether couples carry potential pathogenic genes, so as to avoid passing on genetic diseases to the next generation.
This examination generally includes the detection of autosomal genetic diseases, chromosome structural abnormalities, single gene genetic diseases, complex genetic diseases, MT-ND5 and other genes. According to the test results, doctors can choose different measures, such as selecting healthy embryos for transplantation, or combining assisted reproductive technology for genetic diagnosis and treatment.
Mental health examination
IVF is often a hard journey for both husband and wife, and the psychological health of both husband and wife should be fully considered. The purpose of mental health examination is to assess the couple's attitude, understanding and preparation for the birth of a baby, as well as the coping mechanism for infertility.
Through the communication with professional psychological consultants, couples can fully understand their own psychological state and face possible pressure and emotional problems in treatment together. This will provide important psychological support for couples and increase the probability of success in IVF.
summary
Test tube babies need to undergo a series of examinations before sowing, including physical condition examination, reproductive system health examination, genetic disease examination and mental health examination. These examinations can help doctors comprehensively assess the health status of both spouses and provide accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for subsequent IVF treatment. Through these tests, couples can improve the success rate of pregnancy and make better preparations for the arrival of healthy babies in the future.
