Examination required for IVF babies after birth
With the continuous progress of science and technology, IVF technology has become a common reproductive assistance method, helping many infertile couples realize their dreams. However, IVF babies still need to undergo a series of tests after birth to ensure their healthy development. This article will elaborate on the four aspects that need to be carried out after the birth of the child.
1. Routine examination of newborn
After a child is born, the primary examination is the routine examination of the newborn, which is an important part of ensuring their healthy development. In the hospital, professional doctors will carry out a series of examinations, including measuring body length and weight, observing skin, heart and lung auscultation, and observing limb movements. These examinations can help doctors judge the growth and development of children and eliminate some common physical abnormalities.
In addition, doctors will also carry out hearing screening and biceps skinfold thickness inspection for children to exclude the risk of deaf children and hereditary myopathy. The purpose of these early examinations is to find potential problems as soon as possible and take necessary treatment measures in time.
2. Genetic disease screening
After the birth of test tube babies, genetic disease screening is an essential test. This screening can help doctors detect whether children have some genetic diseases, such as phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, etc. Through early screening, these diseases can be found and treated as soon as possible, and children's health can be protected as soon as possible.
In China, many infants receive neonatal genetic metabolic disease screening within 24 hours after birth, which can effectively reduce the incidence of many genetic metabolic diseases and improve the quality of life and life of children.
3. Immunization
Immunization is a very important test after the birth of test tube babies. Immunization can help children establish a sound immune system and prevent them from contracting some serious infectious diseases. Common immunizations include hepatitis B vaccine, DPT vaccine, polio vaccine, etc.
According to the relevant immunization plan, children should be vaccinated on time after birth. The doctor will make a suitable vaccination plan according to the child's age and health status. Parents need to pay close attention to and ensure that they take their children to vaccinate on time to ensure their immunity.
4. Development assessment and child care
After the birth of test tube babies, development assessment and child care are also very important checks. The doctor will regularly assess the child's development, including cognitive, verbal, behavioral, social and other aspects of development. Through these assessments, children's development problems can be found as early as possible and corresponding intervention measures can be taken.
In addition, parents need to take their children to check their child care regularly. Child care is a comprehensive physical examination of children in the process of growth, including height, weight, teeth, vision, hearing and other aspects of the examination. Doctors can provide targeted health guidance and advice according to the growth and health of children.
summary
The birth of test tube babies is a technological achievement, but it still needs to go through rigorous inspection to ensure its health. Routine examination of newborns, screening of genetic diseases, immunization, development assessment and child care are important examination items. Through these examinations and timely intervention, IVF can be helped to grow healthily.
