Ganzhou IVF: What are the risks?
IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology that helps infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization or embryo transfer. However, like other medical technologies, IVF also has certain risks. This article will elaborate on the risks of IVF in Ganzhou from the following four perspectives.
Health risks
Low power: the success rate of IVF is not high, and the pregnancy rate in each cycle is usually between 30% and 50%. This means that even after many attempts, the chances of success are still limited.
Risk of multiple pregnancy: Multiple pregnancy in IVF is a common complication. Multiple pregnancy brings certain risks to the health of pregnant women and fetuses, such as premature delivery, low birth weight infants, etc.
Reproductive system complications: During IVF, women may experience risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The syndrome may cause abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms, and may pose a threat to health in serious cases.
Psychological and emotional risks
Psychological pressure: infertile couples who experience IVF treatment usually experience a long wait, uncertainty and failure. These factors may cause great difficulties in adjusting emotions and coping with stress.
Family and marital relationship: IVF treatment may have a significant impact on marital relationship. Husband and wife need to support and understand each other during treatment, but long-term infertility treatment may lead to tension and even rupture of the couple's feelings.
Mental health problems: infertile couples often face mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety and impaired self-esteem. These problems may be exacerbated during IVF treatment.
economic risks
Expensive: IVF treatment is an expensive medical technology, including drug costs, treatment costs, laboratory costs, etc. Many families may need to try many times to succeed, which will further increase the financial burden of families.
Difficulty in reimbursement of medical expenses: At present, China's medical insurance for IVF is still imperfect, and many items have not been included in the medical insurance coverage, which means that families need to bear most of the expenses at their own expense.
Economic uncertainty: IVF treatment is not guaranteed to be successful, and many cases require multiple attempts. This will bring economic risks to families and increase the uncertainty of family economy.
Ethical risk
Risk of genetic diseases: Some couples have a family history of genetic diseases, and the IVF technology can conduct genetic screening, but it cannot completely exclude the risk of genetic diseases. This means that children may be at risk of some genetic diseases after birth.
Ethical and moral issues: IVF technology may cause some ethical and moral issues, such as embryo selection, gender selection, etc. These problems should be handled carefully in practical application to avoid negative impacts on social order and public morality.
Social impact: The popularization of IVF technology may lead to changes in population structure, unequal resource allocation and other social problems. Therefore, it is very important to formulate relevant ethical norms and policies.
To sum up, although Ganzhou IVF has brought hope to infertile couples, it also has certain risks. When choosing IVF treatment, patients should fully understand these risks, fully communicate with doctors and make rational decisions.
