Definition of IVF
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which combines sperm and eggs in vitro to cultivate embryos, and then transfers the embryos back to the mother's uterus, so that infertile couples can achieve fertility. This technology can effectively help infertile couples achieve their fertility aspirations.
IVF technology has existed for many years and is one of the important breakthroughs in the medical field. In the past decades of development, IVF technology has helped thousands of couples successfully usher in their own children.
Flow of IVF
IVF technology is mainly divided into four steps:
The first step is follicle stimulation. Through injection of hormone, women can produce multiple eggs.
The second step is to take eggs. The female eggs were taken out in vitro through ultrasound guided ovarian puncture.
The third step is the combination of sperm and egg. The female egg is fertilized with the male sperm in vitro.
The fourth step is embryo transfer. Transfer the successfully fertilized embryo back to the woman's uterus and wait for the result of pregnancy.
Indications for IVF
IVF technology is mainly used in the following situations:
1. Difficulty in fertilization: including the quantity or quality of male sperm and the quality of female eggs.
2. Obstruction of fallopian tube: If a female's fallopian tube is damaged, such as blocked by stones or infection, the fertilized egg cannot enter the uterus.
3. Repeated failure of artificial insemination: If the pregnancy is not successful after multiple attempts of artificial insemination, IVF technology can be an option.
Best Hospital for IVF
IVF technology is a complex operation, which requires a professional medical team and advanced equipment. The following are well-known IVF hospitals in China:
1. Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center: As one of the earliest hospitals in China to carry out IVF technology, Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center has accumulated rich experience and advanced technology.
2. Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital: The hospital has advanced reproductive technology equipment and an experienced professional team to provide high-quality IVF services for infertile couples.
3. The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University in Guangzhou: This hospital is one of the earliest hospitals in China to develop IVF technology, with innovative reproductive medicine technology and a high-level expert team.
summary
IVF technology is an important means of assisted reproduction, which can help infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations. By coordinating each step, couples can choose their own hospitals and professional teams for IVF operations. However, it should be noted that IVF technology also has certain risks and limitations. Couples need to consider carefully when deciding to use this technology, and have detailed consultation and discussion with doctors.
