Precautions of IVF
IVF technology is a method to help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams through assisted reproductive technology, which has been widely used in many countries in recent years. However, the success rate and risk of IVF should be paid attention to. The following four aspects will elaborate on the precautions of IVF in order to help couples make wise decisions.
1. Select the appropriate hospital
Choosing a regular hospital is the key to the success of IVF. Regular hospitals should have professional medical teams and advanced technical equipment. First, couples can consult their family doctor or other relatives and friends to seek hospital recommendations. Secondly, they can learn about the hospital's background and reputation by consulting the hospital's official website or relevant forums. Finally, for domestic patients, it is also a wise choice to choose large general hospitals with perfect service networks, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital or Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine.
At the same time, couples need to understand the success rate and failure rate of the hospital. A high success rate may mean that the hospital has fraud, while a low success rate means that the hospital's technology is not up to standard. When choosing a hospital, couples should fully consider the comprehensive strength and success rate of the hospital.
In addition, couples should also know about the hospital charges. The cost of IVF is high, and different hospitals have different charging standards. Therefore, couples need to know and compare the charging standards of different hospitals in advance, and make reasonable choices based on their own economic conditions.
2. Make preparations in advance
Many details should be paid attention to during IVF. First of all, couples should do a physical examination before starting treatment to ensure that their health is suitable for IVF. Secondly, couples should make preparations before treatment according to the doctor's advice, such as adjusting their lifestyle and maintaining a good attitude. In addition, women need to receive ovulation induction or ovum retrieval on time, and men need to provide semen samples on time.
At the same time, couples also need to be prepared for the cost of IVF. The whole process of IVF usually costs tens of thousands of yuan or more. It is recommended that couples make economic planning in advance to ensure that they can bear the cost.
In addition, couples should strengthen communication and exchange to jointly face the psychological and life changes brought about by IVF. Couples can choose to participate in professional psychological counseling or family support groups to obtain psychological support and help.
3. Follow the doctor's advice
During the treatment of IVF, couples should actively cooperate with the guidance and requirements of doctors. The doctor will give a detailed treatment plan according to the specific situation of the couple. The couple should take the medicine on time and in proper amount, and complete the necessary examinations and operations. In addition, couples should adhere to the rest and diet requirements during treatment to reduce the interference of bad living habits on IVF.
After receiving embryo transfer, couples need to pay attention to avoiding overwork and emotional fluctuations to increase the success rate of embryo implantation. The doctor may give other special suggestions that couples should carefully follow to improve the success rate of IVF.
4. Pay attention to possible risks and complications
Although IVF can help infertile couples achieve their reproductive dreams, there are also some risks and complications. For example, egg retrieval surgery may present risks of infection and bleeding. In addition, IVF may increase the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight. Couples should fully understand these risks before IVF, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors.
In conclusion, IVF requires couples to make efforts in choosing hospitals, making preparations, following doctor's advice and paying attention to possible risks. Only by mastering these points of attention can couples move more calmly and confidently towards a better future in the process of IVF.
