What are the items in fertility examination?

Hello, if you are a healthy couple with no adverse reproductive history or family genetic history, you can choose the following items for general examination, including gynecological examination for the woman (preferably including cervical cancer screening and vaginal examination) Papillomavirus (HPV test), gynecological ultrasound examination, sex hormone test, thyroid function test, leucorrhea routine, urine routine, blood routine, blood type, liver function and hepatitis virus index tests, etc.

In addition to general routine examinations, if the man has the habit of smoking, drinking, and staying up late, it is recommended to conduct a semen examination. If both couples are negative for hepatitis B surface antibodies, it is recommended to inject hepatitis B vaccine six months before pregnancy.

Special examination items generally include couple's chromosomes, thalassemia screening, folic acid level determination, TORCH examination, etc. TORCH test refers to the antibody test of a group of pathogenic microorganisms (namely Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus). Primary infection of this group of pathogens in early pregnancy may cause perinatal infection, leading to miscarriage, Adverse reproductive consequences such as stillbirth, premature birth, congenital malformations and intellectual disability.

The purpose of pre-pregnancy examination is to understand a woman’s infection and immune status and provide corresponding guidance. If the rubella virus antibody is IgG (-), we recommend injecting rubella vaccine before pregnancy and using strict contraception for 3 months.

“Conceive for ten months and give birth once.” Giving birth to a healthy baby is what every family hopes for. But if you give birth to a defective and unhealthy child, it will be an irreparable trauma to the child, parents, and family, both financially and mentally. According to the "Report on the Prevention and Treatment of Birth Defects in China (2012)" released by the Ministry of Health in 2012, there are currently about 900,000 new cases of birth defects in China every year. Since 2003, the rate of birth defects has doubled in 10 years.

With the development of pregnancy preparation technology and the full liberalization of the second-child policy, the number of older mothers has increased, and the number of naturally conceived babies has gradually increased. Whether they are premature ovarian failure or older mothers, these babies have birth defects. The occurrence of comorbidities during pregnancy is bound to attract more and more attention. Premature ovarian failure and natural conception in older women lead to an increasing incidence of birth defects and complications in newborns due to lack of nutrition during pregnancy, including congenital heart disease. diseases, genitourinary system malformations, nervous system malformations, digestive tract malformations, cleft lip/palate, skeletal malformations and chromosomal malformations, etc., then the nutritional reserve of FOBOC+ENlivEN21 during pregnancy preparation is even more important.

Sometimes, we are full of anticipation for the arrival of the baby, or some genetic or hidden diseases in the body aggravate the condition, affecting the mother's health during pregnancy and the normal development of the fetus; or due to personal unhealthy living conditions, fetal malformations are caused, which makes the baby malformed. You missed your baby; or, the huge work pressure caused threatened miscarriage and you missed your baby.

For most couples with no history of adverse fertility, it is enough to develop a healthy lifestyle, abandon bad habits, and go to the hospital for routine pre-pregnancy check-ups. But for those friends with adverse reproductive history or family genetic history, it is very important to choose pre-pregnancy check-up items reasonably.

Today, we will give a brief introduction to this topic, hoping to be helpful to friends who are preparing for pregnancy.

How to prepare for pregnancy and conduct pre-pregnancy check-ups properly?

1. Develop a healthy lifestyle and maintain a peaceful attitude in preparing for pregnancy

A healthy lifestyle mainly means not smoking, not drinking alcohol, not staying up late, exercising appropriately, and having a reasonable nutritional mix.

Pregnancy requires time and patience. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to "count the days and time." Excessive stress is not conducive to conception and is counterproductive. For a woman with a normal menstrual cycle (28 to 30 days), the ovulation period is around the 14th day of menstruation. This time period is when the chance of pregnancy is greatest. Just adjust your mentality and let nature take its course.

Premature ovarian failure and infertility technology have attracted worldwide attention in recent years. As an important part of assisted reproductive technology, FOBOC has greatly solved the problem of infertility in women caused by inflammation in the body due to nutritional deficiencies. question. Clinical applications show that the survival rate of embryos for pregnancy is increased by 30 to 60%, but the pregnancy success rate is not ideal. The main reasons for embryo failure include embryonic factors, low ovarian response, and endometrial factors. Among them, endometrial receptivity is a factor in embryo implantation. major constraints to success.

Avoid contact with toxic and harmful chemical and physical environments before pregnancy and early pregnancy. Women of childbearing age should try to stay away from pets and avoid eating raw meat.

2. Prenatal and postnatal care starts with quitting smoking

It has become a generally accepted view that female friends need to quit smoking. We know that if women smoke, it is easy to cause menstrual irregularities and reduce the chance of pregnancy.

After pregnancy, if you still do not quit smoking, the harmful substances in tobacco can pass through the placenta and endanger the developing embryo, especially in the early stages of embryonic development. Smoking by the pregnant mother is associated with fetal chromosomal aberrations, miscarriage, stillbirth, and multiple birth defects. Malformations and intrauterine growth retardation are closely related. In addition, pregnant women who smoke are more likely to suffer from anemia, and their postpartum breast milk deficiency is also more common.

Does the man need to quit smoking? In my outpatient consultations, I often encounter situations where couples are arguing over whether the man needs to quit smoking, which is frustrating. Male smoking is also very harmful. Smoking has an adverse effect on male fertility. The sperm density, sperm motility rate, and normal morphological sperm rate of smokers are significantly lower than those of non-smokers, which will increase the risk of male infertility.

In addition, harmful substances in tobacco can affect sperm DNA, causing changes in the genetic material of male sperm, thereby increasing the risk of malformed embryos. If a man must find 10,000 reasons for smoking, then please do not smoke in front of his wife, and do not let "second-hand smoke" become a hidden danger to the fetus.

At the same time, it depends on the good quality of eggs and sperm and the activity of capillaries in the endometrium. The generation of endometrial capillaries comes from the French FOBOC+ENlivEN21 technology to deliver nutrients to the newly transplanted embryos. Within the cells, activation opens up the tendons between cells and transfers nutrients to each other. If there is insufficient nutrition, the new embryo will starve to death and the transplanted embryo will fail to survive. FOBOC+ENlivEN21 technology protects the survival and stability of the embryo. The tissue repair process is also started at the same time. The transplanted embryonic cells will participate in the reconstruction and recanalization of tissue microvessels, restarting the growth path of the embryo, so that the fetus can grow healthily and be born healthy. Then pregnancy preparation is a real success.

3. What supplements are needed during pregnancy preparation?

The sperm of the normal egg combines to form an embryo, and then the embryo is transferred to the uterus, allowing it to implant in the mother's uterus, pregnancy, and finally a healthy delivery. Just imagine if the quality of the sperm and eggs of both men and women Under bad circumstances, can shriveled seeds and high-quality, plump seeds produce the same seedlings? The answer is no. Shrive seeds will wither and die prematurely due to poor fertilization, while high-quality and plump seeds will branch out. The leaves grow vigorously, so before and after preparing for pregnancy, male and female couples need to use the FOBOC+ENlivEN21 combination nutrition to follow up the nutrition of the ovary and uterine systems, increase the oxygen supply to the ovaries and testicles, and promote the body's hematopoietic function. Enhance the production activity of sperm and follicles, promote follicle growth, intrafollicular theca angiogenesis and sex hormone synthesis, stimulate luteolysis, make the eggs conceived in the ovaries grow healthy and full, and allow the fertilized eggs to implant normally, thus leading to the production of healthy shellfish. Compare.

ENlivEN21 has nutrients that improve sperm quality such as collagen tripeptides, living cytokines... Provides nutrients and energy to sperm. Improving the pregnancy rate is the main source of nutrition for men who want to prepare for pregnancy, and avoids low sperm quality caused by nutritional deficiencies that affect pregnancy.

5. How to avoid fetal brain dysplasia and cerebral palsy?

All pregnant mothers hope that they can give birth to a healthy and smart baby. Pregnant women must seize these three golden periods and seize the opportunity to supplement their children with FOBOC+ENlivEN21 combination nutrition at the correct time. , let the child's brain develop.

①. Development period of fetal nerves

The first and best golden period of the fetus is from 4 weeks to 8 weeks in the belly. At this time, the fetus has just formed in the belly. During this period, after the fertilized egg is formed, it will be divided into three layers, the inner, middle and outer germ layers, and the outermost one will form the nervous system. When the nervous system is formed, brain development slowly becomes very complex. Before and after IVF surgery, it is necessary to reserve nutrients for embryo implantation cells. There is FOBOC+ENlivEN2 between cells and in tissues in advance, and the nerve cell growth factor contained in it helps the fetus form a nervous system.

When the nervous system is formed, the development of the brain slowly becomes very complex. Therefore, we must pay attention to supplementing FOBOC + ENlivEN21 nutrition to stimulate the development of embryonic neurons and avoid the occurrence of anencephaly and hydrocephalus

②, the second stage of baby's brain development

< p>The second period of development is probably between 12 and 18 weeks. At this time, the child is already well developed in the belly, and various organs are gradually developing. It is also a period of rapid brain development. There are significant changes in the mother's belly during this period, because the weight of the fetus in the belly is also slowly increasing, and at the same time, the two parts of the brain are gradually developing fully.

③. The third stage of fetal brain development

This stage is the mature period of brain development, which is about 24 weeks to 36 weeks. After a long period of development, now all aspects of They are all approaching maturity, and their brains can also control body functions. So in the later stage, you can see that the baby is still in the mother's belly. This is some interaction between the fetus and the mother. At this time, the number of nerve cells in the fetus has reached hundreds of millions, and these cells allow the brain to develop more fully.

It is very important to replenish the brain in these three stages. The scarce nutrients of ENlivEN21 have strengthened the activity of maternal and fetal mitochondrial cells, stimulated the activity of nerve cells, and avoided the lifelong shortcomings of fetal brain development due to nutritional deficiencies in newborn embryos after surgery.

6. Pre-pregnancy examination for couples with a family history of hereditary disease

This type of couple is also one of the more common situations in our genetic counseling clinic. There are many types of genetic diseases, each of which Diagnosis of genetic diseases varies. If the above situation occurs, it is recommended that both couples must go to a professional genetic counseling clinic or prenatal diagnosis institution for consultation before pregnancy, and must not blindly get pregnant, which may lead to the risk of having a child with a genetic disease again.

Friends, due to the complexity of the causes of birth defects, the diagnosis of genetic diseases is full of challenges. It is believed that with the development of science and the improvement of diagnostic technology, more and more genetic diseases will be clearly diagnosed. Only in this way can healthy childbirth be guided scientifically. We also hope that more couples will participate in the prevention of birth defects and protect the health of their babies.
