Setup scheme of IVF
Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive through natural mating realize their reproductive dreams. The setup scheme of IVF can be considered from the following four aspects:
1. Physical examination and gene testing
Before IVF, couples need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF procedures. Physical examination includes uterus and ovary examination of women, sperm quality assessment of men, etc. In addition, couples should also carry out genetic testing to understand whether there is a risk of genetic disease or carrying gene mutations. The results of gene testing can help doctors develop more appropriate treatment plans.
If one of the couples suffers from serious genetic diseases, genetic diagnosis and selective embryo transfer can be considered. This can avoid passing on genetic diseases to the next generation and improve the health quality of future generations.
2. Ovulation promotion and egg retrieval
In the IVF procedure, women need to receive ovulation induction therapy. This involves using drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. Doctors will give personalized drug treatment programs according to women's specific conditions. Monitor the growth and development of follicles to determine the best time for egg retrieval.
Fetching eggs is a key step in the IVF procedure. Doctors will use ultrasound guided surgery to extract mature eggs from follicles. This requires local anesthesia or general anesthesia, and under professional medical equipment and conditions. The retrieved eggs will be sent to the laboratory for in vitro fertilization.
3. In vitro fertilization and embryo culture
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of combining the eggs obtained from eggs with sperm provided by partners or donors in the laboratory. This can be achieved through traditional IVF or ICSI (single sperm injection) technology. The doctor will choose the most suitable fertilization method according to the situation.
After fertilization, the embryo will be cultured in the laboratory. The environment for embryo culture needs to provide appropriate temperature, humidity and nutrients to ensure the healthy development of embryos. Doctors will choose the best time for embryo transfer according to the quality and development of the embryo.
4. Embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring
Embryo transfer is the surgical process of embedding an embryo into a woman's uterus. This requires the use of thin tubes or guides to transport the embryo into the endometrium. After transplantation, women need further rest and precautions. After a period of time, considering the possible pregnancy, the doctor will monitor the pregnancy of women.
Pregnancy monitoring may include measurement of serum progesterone and HCG levels, and ultrasound examination. This helps to determine if pregnancy is successful. If the pregnancy is established, the doctor may recommend continuing to monitor the pregnancy and provide necessary pregnancy care guidance.
Summary
The setup scheme of IVF first requires physical examination and genetic testing to ensure that the physical and genetic conditions of the couple are suitable for the procedure. After that, through ovulation induction and egg retrieval, eggs and sperm are combined in the laboratory for in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. Finally, the embryos were transferred into women's uterus and pregnancy monitoring was carried out.
The setting process of IVF requires professional medical equipment and conditions, and is conducted under the guidance of experienced doctors. Choosing regular hospitals and professional doctors for IVF procedures can improve the success rate and reduce potential risks. In the future, it is hoped that IVF technology can continue to develop and improve to help more couples realize their reproductive dreams.
