Effect of hyperthyroidism on test tube infants
Hyperthyroidism is a disease of hyperthyroidism, which may have a certain impact on the health and development of IVF. In this article, we will elaborate on the effects of hyperthyroidism on IVF from the following four aspects.
1. Egg quality and fertility
Hyperthyroidism may affect women's egg quality and fertility. Hyperthyroidism will lead to ovarian dysfunction, which will reduce the quality of eggs and weaken the fertilization ability. Some studies have found that the fertilization rate and implantation rate of eggs in hyperthyroidism patients are generally low. This is an important factor for IVF, because egg quality and fertilization ability directly affect the success rate of IVF.
Before IVF, patients with hyperthyroidism should try to control their hyperthyroidism and ensure the normalization of thyroid hormone level, so as to improve the egg quality and fertilization ability. In addition, hyperthyroidism patients need to closely monitor thyroid function during IVF treatment, timely adjust drug treatment, and ensure the development of fertilized eggs and the implantation of embryos.
2. Pregnancy complications
Hyperthyroidism may increase the risk of complications during IVF pregnancy. During pregnancy, thyroid hormone levels in patients with hyperthyroidism may have adverse effects on the mother and fetus. The common complications of hyperthyroidism pregnancy include hypertension, intrauterine growth retardation, fetal distress, etc.
Patients with hyperthyroidism need to pay close attention to the changes of thyroid function after the successful pregnancy of test tube babies. Regularly monitor thyroid hormone levels and make treatment adjustments as needed to reduce the risk of pregnancy complications.
3. Drug treatment
Hyperthyroidism patients need thyroid drug treatment in the process of IVF. Most hyperthyroidism drugs have no obvious adverse effects on the fetus, but some drugs may have some effects on the fetus.
During IVF treatment, doctors will adjust the drug dosage and use plan according to the specific conditions of hyperthyroidism patients and thyroid hormone levels to ensure the stability of thyroid function and minimize the impact of drugs on embryos.
4. Health of offspring
IVF babies born to hyperthyroidism patients may have certain risks in the health of their offspring. Some studies have found that children with hyperthyroidism may have slight differences in neural development and cognitive ability. However, there is still a lack of large sample clinical studies to clarify the impact of hyperthyroidism on IVF offspring.
In general, hyperthyroidism may have some impact on the health and development of IVF. However, it is feasible to reduce the effect of hyperthyroidism on IVF as much as possible through reasonable treatment and management. During IVF treatment, patients with hyperthyroidism should pay close attention to the changes of thyroid function and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and adjustment to ensure the healthy and smooth development of IVF.
