In the process of IVF, the maturation of follicles directly affects the quality of embryos and the success rate of pregnancy. However, some women will have follicular immaturity during the IVF cycle, which brings a lot of distress to **. So, why are follicles immature? How to improve the effect of ovulation induction?
4 reasons why follicles are immature:
1) Endocrine disorders: environmental pollution, excessive mental stress and other reasons will lead to endocrine disorders, and will also lead to hormone levels in the body disorders, and then there will be symptoms of immature follicle development.
2) Polycystic ovary syndrome: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common reproductive endocrine and metabolic disease, which may lead to ovulation disorder or loss, and some patients will have symptoms of follicular immaturity.
3. Premature ovarian failure: Premature ovarian failure generally refers to the loss of normal function of a woman's ovaries before the age of 40, accompanied by a decrease in estrogen levels, and induces symptoms of immature follicle development.
4) Bad lifestyle habits: Smoking and drinking for a long time may lead to abnormal levels of hormones secreted by the ovaries, and also cause symptoms of immature follicle development. Frequent picky dieting may lead to nutrient deficiencies in the body, and can also affect ovarian function, resulting in abnormal follicle development.
How can IVF improve the effect of ovulation induction?
Since each patient's constitution and the causes of follicle immaturity are different, the IVF doctor will first understand the woman's ovarian function through relevant examinations and formulate a plan according to the cause of follicle immaturity. The specific scheme is as follows:
1. Adjust hormone levels: Before the IVF cycle begins, the IVF doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination, including a hormone level test. If hormone levels are found to be abnormal, the doctor will adjust the regimen according to the specific situation, such as the use of hormonal drugs, to promote the normal development and maturation of the follicles.
2. Personalized stimulation plan: Everyone's physical condition and ovarian function are different, so the IVF doctor will formulate a personalized stimulation plan according to the specific situation of the patient. For example, in patients with poor ovarian function, lower doses of ovulation-inducing drugs may be used to avoid overstimulation of the ovaries.
3. Monitoring follicle development: In the process of stimulation, the development of follicles should be closely monitored by ultrasound examination, so as to adjust the stimulation plan and guide the time in time. When follicle dysplasia is detected, the doctor may take measures to promote the development and maturation of the follicle, such as increasing the dose of the drug or adjusting the type of drug.
4. Reasonable arrangement of diet: Diet also has a certain impact on the development and maturation of follicles. Patients can adjust their diet and increase their intake of proteins, vitamins and minerals under the guidance of an IVF doctor to promote the normal development and maturation of follicles.
5. Maintain good living habits: Developing good living habits such as regular work and rest, moderate exercise, and reducing stress will help maintain good health, improve the sensitivity of the ovaries to stimulation drugs, and thus improve the effect of egg retrieval.
After that, through strict grasp of the stimulation link, blood test and yin ultrasound examination, the development of follicles, the degree of women's response to ovulation induction drugs, and adjust the dosage of drugs in time to avoid symptoms such as ascites and ovarian hyperstimulation caused by overuse of drugs; And at the right time, ** egg retrieval is carried out.
In the IVF process, it is important to understand the causes of follicular immaturity and take corresponding measures to improve the effect of egg retrieval. By adjusting hormone levels, formulating personalized stimulation plans, monitoring follicle development, arranging diet reasonably, maintaining good lifestyle habits, and cooperating with IVF doctors, patients can improve the success rate and pregnancy rate of IVF. At the same time, it is also crucial to maintain a positive mindset and confidence during the process. If you have any concerns or problems, talk to your doctor and seek advice.
