Detailed steps of IVF injection
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to treat infertility. During IVF, IVF requires a series of drug injections to promote ovarian ovulation and endometrial growth and improve the success rate of pregnancy. This article will introduce the steps of IVF injection in detail.
1. Preparations before drug injection
Before starting to inject drugs, the hospital will conduct a detailed physical examination to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for IVF. At the same time, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans according to the patients' conditions, and determine the type and dosage of drugs needed.
Before injecting drugs, patients need to receive guidance from consultants to understand the specific steps and precautions of injection. Relevant tests are also required, including blood routine test, liver function test, hepatitis B test, hepatitis C test, AIDS test, etc. Injecting drugs can only be started after confirming that the health condition is normal.
In addition, patients also need to be mentally prepared, because drug injection may have a certain impact on the body and mood.
2. Learn and prepare injection skills
Before injecting drugs, patients need to learn the correct injection skills. Nurses or doctors in the hospital will provide patients with relevant training, including how to use syringes, select appropriate injection sites, and pay attention to hygiene.
Patients can only inject drugs after learning and mastering the correct injection skills by themselves or with their families. Before actual operation, patients should practice repeatedly to ensure that they can skillfully and accurately complete the injection process.
At the same time, it is recommended that patients communicate with their families or friends to let them know their own situation, and provide support and help during the injection process.
3. Drug injection process
The specific steps of drug injection vary according to the treatment plan. Generally, patients need to inject ovulation promoting drugs and endometrial growth aids.
For example, ovulation promoting drugs are usually injected subcutaneously, and the injection site is usually in the abdomen or the front of the thigh. The patient needs to clean the injection site with a sterilized cotton ball, hold the syringe for injection, pay attention to maintaining the injection angle and speed, and avoid pain caused by rapid injection.
Endometrial growth aids may be used vaginally, and patients need to put the drug into the vagina, or use vaginal gel according to the doctor's instructions. These drugs help the growth of endometrium and prepare the implantation conditions of fertilized eggs.
4. Nursing and observation after drug injection
After the drug injection, the patient needs to continue nursing and observation. The doctors in the hospital will require patients to come to visit again regularly for ultrasonic examination and blood test to evaluate the ovarian response and treatment effect.
During the injection, patients should closely observe their own physical conditions and pay attention to the discomfort symptoms. In case of obvious allergic reaction, pain or other abnormal symptoms, contact the doctor in time and seek help.
In short, IVF injection is one of the important links of gynecological assisted reproductive technology. The correct injection of drugs can promote ovarian ovulation and endometrial growth, and improve the success rate of IVF pregnancy. Patients should actively cooperate with the guidance of doctors, master correct injection techniques, and report changes in physical conditions in time to ensure the smooth progress of treatment.
