What are the effects of Linfen IVF on the body?
IVF refers to the process of implanting the fertilized egg into the mother's uterus to develop into a baby after in vitro fertilization through assisted reproductive technology. As a common means of reproduction, IVF has also been widely used in Linfen and other cities. However, IVF may have certain effects on the body in some aspects. Next, we will elaborate on genetic factors, pregnancy and childbirth process, infant health and maternal health.
Genetic factor
The genetic factor of IVF is one of the important aspects concerned. First, because IVF is artificially fertilized and transferred, the risk of transmission of genetic diseases will increase. If both parties or one party carries genes of genetic diseases, these diseases may be passed on to IVF. Secondly, due to the process of embryo culture in the laboratory, there is the possibility of chromosome abnormalities and gene mutations, which may also lead to some hereditary diseases at birth.
In addition, IVF babies often need several attempts to succeed, which will increase the risk of multiple pregnancies. Multiple pregnancy has certain risks to both pregnant women and fetuses, such as premature delivery, fetal dysplasia, low birth weight, etc. Therefore, before IVF, doctors will conduct genetic counseling and genetic testing for patients to assess genetic risks and take corresponding preventive measures.
Pregnancy and childbirth process
The pregnancy process of IVF is different from that of natural pregnancy. First, in the early pregnancy, uterine bleeding may occur due to the way in which IVF is implanted. This kind of bleeding usually stops itself in a short time, but if there is a large amount of continuous bleeding, you need to seek medical treatment in time. Secondly, due to the intervention of hormone drugs used in the process of IVF pregnancy, pregnant women may suffer from endocrine disorders, emotional fluctuations, breast pain and other uncomfortable symptoms.
In terms of labor process, the delivery mode of IVF is similar to that of ordinary pregnancy, and natural or caesarean birth can be selected. However, since most IVF are elderly, infertile patients, and the mother may have some basic diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.) during pregnancy, it is necessary to monitor the physical condition of pregnant women more carefully and take corresponding intervention measures.
Infant health
IVF babies may face some health problems after birth. First of all, because IVF may be affected by environmental factors during in vitro culture, compared with naturally conceived infants, IVF has a higher risk of nervous system and cardiovascular system diseases. Secondly, IVF may experience multiple embryo transfers or embryo selection in the fetal period, which may have a certain impact on its growth and development.
However, with the continuous progress of medical technology, the health status of IVF has gradually improved. Modern technology has been able to carry out gene screening and chromosome testing on embryos to reduce the potential health problems existing at birth.
Maternal health
Test tube babies also have certain effects on maternal health. First, women need hormone intervention when receiving IVF treatment, which may increase the risk of suffering from malignant tumors of the female reproductive system such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Secondly, the operation and drug use of IVF may cause certain stimulation and damage to women's uterus and ovary.
However, on the whole, the adverse effects of IVF on the mother are usually temporary, and with reasonable medical guidance, these risks can be minimized.
Summary
The influence of IVF on the body mainly includes genetic factors, pregnancy and childbirth process, infant health and maternal health. Although IVF has certain risks and impacts, with the progress of medical technology and improvement of medical conditions, these problems can be effectively prevented and treated. Nevertheless, before choosing IVF treatment, we still need to fully understand the relevant information, clarify our own needs and risks, and fully communicate and consult with doctors to make wise decisions.
