How to operate IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in couples who cannot conceive naturally. The operation steps of this technology need to be carefully operated by professional doctors and medical staff. The following four aspects will detail the operation steps of IVF.

1. Indications of IVF
IVF technology is applicable to infertility caused by many different reasons, including female factors, male factors and infertility caused by unknown reasons. Female factors may include fallopian tube obstruction, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian dysfunction, etc. Male factors may be abnormal sperm quantity, motility or morphology. At the same time, infertility caused by unknown reasons can also be treated with IVF technology.
After determining the indications, the couple chose a reputable and high success rate IVF center for surgery by consulting a professional doctor.
2. Ovarian stimulation and egg collection
The first step of IVF technology is ovarian stimulation. Female patients in couples will receive medical treatment for a period of time to increase the quantity and quality of eggs. Doctors will determine the best time for collection by monitoring the follicular growth and ovarian hormone levels of patients.
Once the follicle grows to the proper size, the doctor will collect eggs in the operating room. This process is usually performed in a painless manner using local anesthesia. Through vaginal puncture, the doctor guides the special collection needle to enter the ovary through the fallopian tube, suck out the eggs, and then put them into the culture dish for subsequent operations.
3. Sperm processing and fertilization
After egg collection, male patients in the couple must provide fresh semen samples or freeze them. In the laboratory, semen samples are processed to select the best quality sperm.
Then, eggs and sperm are put into a culture dish for fertilization. Usually, a sperm will fertilize an egg to form a fertilized egg. After fertilization, the embryos in the culture dish are placed in a constant temperature incubator and continue to be cultured.
4. Embryo transfer and pregnancy
The prepared embryo will be transferred back to the uterus of the female patient at the appropriate time. This process usually does not require local anesthesia, and doctors will place the embryo into the uterus through the vagina.
Next, the patient needs to wait for a period of time to see if the pregnancy is successful. If the fertilized egg is successfully implanted into the uterus, the patient will become pregnant. The doctor will conduct regular examinations to confirm the stability of pregnancy and provide proper pregnancy care guidance for patients.
To sum up, IVF procedures include determining indications, ovarian stimulation and egg collection, sperm processing and fertilization, as well as embryo transfer and pregnancy. These steps need to be carefully operated by professional doctors and medical staff, providing opportunities for couples to realize their dream of childbearing.
