What is the hospital principle of IVF?
IVF hospitals refer to medical institutions specialized in assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization. The IVF hospital assists in childbirth through sophisticated cell culture, embryo transfer and other technical means, and helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. The principle of IVF hospital will be elaborated from four aspects.
1. Artificial insemination and preparation of test tube baby
In the IVF hospital, artificial insemination refers to the process of combining male semen with female eggs, then cultivating them to the embryonic stage, and then transferring the embryos to the female uterus to develop into babies.
First, doctors will evaluate the fertility of couples through a series of examinations to determine whether artificial insemination is suitable. Then, during female ovulation period, eggs were collected under the guidance of ultrasound. The collected eggs will be cultured and combined with the semen provided by men to form fertilized eggs.
The fertilized eggs will be cultured in vitro for several days to form multiple embryos. Doctors will select suitable embryos according to the quality of the embryos and the needs of the couple and transfer them into the uterus. After transplantation, we can improve the probability of successful embryo implantation by observing pregnancy indicators and conducting appropriate hormone treatment.
If the embryo is successfully implanted and developed into a baby, the preparation of IVF will be successfully completed.
2. Equipment and technology of IVF hospital
In order to ensure the success rate and safety of IVF, IVF hospitals are equipped with advanced equipment and technology.
First of all, the IVF hospital will have a special laboratory for egg collection, sperm processing, embryo culture and other operations. The laboratory conforms to the advanced aseptic environment to ensure the purity of samples and the reliability of operation.
Secondly, IVF hospitals will also use assisted reproductive technologies, such as cryopreservation of sperm and eggs, and microinjection technology for biological treatment of embryos. The application of these techniques can improve the quality and survival rate of embryos and increase the success rate of pregnancy.
In addition, IVF hospitals will have professional doctors and technical teams who are familiar with the operation and application of assisted reproductive technology and can provide comprehensive consultation and guidance to patients.
3. Legal Compliance and Ethics
The operation of IVF hospitals must comply with laws and regulations and follow ethical norms.
First of all, the medical procedures for IVF must comply with relevant national laws and standards, such as the timing, dosage and method of egg collection and embryo transfer.
Secondly, IVF hospitals must ensure informed consent and privacy protection of patients when conducting assisted reproductive technology. Doctors should introduce the risk, success rate, cost and other information of IVF to patients in detail, so that patients can make informed decisions.
In addition, IVF hospitals will also abide by ethical norms, respect the wishes of patients, and pay attention to moral and humanistic care in the application of technology.
4. Subsequent assistance and support
The work of IVF hospital is not only limited to embryo transfer, but also includes assistance and support during pregnancy.
First of all, after IVF is successfully conceived, doctors will closely monitor the pregnancy to ensure the development of the embryo and the health of the mother. If there is any problem, the doctor will take timely measures to ensure the safety of the embryo and the health of the mother and baby.
Secondly, the IVF hospital will also provide psychological support and nutritional guidance for patients during pregnancy to help them get through the discomfort and variability of pregnancy.
After the birth of the test tube baby, doctors may continue to monitor its growth and development, provide necessary rehabilitation and health education, and ensure the health and growth of the baby.
Summary
Through artificial insemination, embryo transfer and other technical means, IVF hospitals help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. Its principle mainly includes artificial insemination and the preparation of test tube babies, the application of equipment and technology, legal compliance and ethical norms, and subsequent assistance and support. The IVF hospital provides efficient, safe and humanized reproductive assistance services for patients through fine operation and comprehensive support.
