Patient's question:
Male, the first child was diagnosed with hydrocephalus of 1.6 cm and underwent drainage. Comprehensive and thorough examinations of the female partner were normal, and it was found that I have chromosomal translocation, suggesting the use of a three-generational culture dish. What other examinations do we need to do, and what should we prepare for?Doctor's answer:
Chromosomal balanced translocation or Robertsonian translocation, given a history of adverse early pregnancy, it is recommended to undergo third-party IVF to assist conception. This can screen for chromosomal abnormalities and embryos, as well as embryos loaded similarly to you. Select and transfer completely normal embryos.For both male and female partners, thorough inspections in the culture dishes are required. Here, typing is slow and the character limit is limited, so it is recommended that you and your partner take time to come to the Maternal and Child Health Outpatient Clinic of Tangdu Hospital for a follow-up visit. Due to limited patient examinations, it is advisable for the female partner to fast for two days before her menstrual period and avoid sexual intercourse or vaginal suppositories. For the male partner, refrain from ejaculation for 3-7 days for the urology follow-up.
Both partners should prepare their identification documents, including the marriage certificate and ID card.
