Complications of the third generation IVF hospital
With the progress of science and technology, three generations of IVF has become an important way for many couples to realize their dreams of childbearing. However, this technology is not without risks. The following will elaborate on the possible complications of the third-generation IVF hospitals from four aspects: embryo selection, multiple pregnancy, reproductive hormone treatment and mental health.
Complications of embryo selection
Embryo selection is an important step in the third generation IVF technology, which is used to select normal embryos for transfer. However, there are also some potential risks in the process of embryo selection.
First of all, embryo selection technology is not completely accurate, which may lead to miscalculation, resulting in the selection of embryos with genetic diseases. This will increase the birth rate of three generations of IVF babies at risk.
Secondly, embryo biopsy in the process of embryo selection may cause some damage to the embryo. Although this kind of damage is generally acceptable, there is still a certain probability that it will cause abnormal embryonic development and lead to pregnancy failure.
In addition, in the case of a large number of embryo selections, there may be some "spare tires" left. These embryos may be frozen, but after thawing, there is a certain probability that they cannot be successfully transferred or lead to pregnancy failure.
Complications of multiple pregnancy
In the third generation IVF technology, multiple pregnancy is often used to improve the success rate of pregnancy, but multiple pregnancy also brings a series of risks and complications.
First of all, multiple pregnancy poses a greater burden on the health of pregnant women. Multiple fetuses exert great pressure on the uterus, which may lead to problems such as early uterine contraction, placental separation, and excessive amniotic fluid.
Secondly, multiple pregnancy also increases the risk of premature delivery. Preterm birth has a great impact on the health of infants, which may lead to low weight, dyspnea, incomplete nervous system development and other problems.
In addition, multiple pregnancy also increases the probability of pregnant women suffering from pregnancy induced hypertension and fetal growth retardation.
Complications of reproductive hormone therapy
In order to improve the success rate of IVF, hospitals usually use reproductive hormones to promote ovulation and control the cycle. However, reproductive hormone therapy also brings some potential risks.
First, overuse of reproductive hormones may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This syndrome can lead to serious complications such as ovarian swelling, abdominal pain, dyspnea and pleural effusion.
Secondly, reproductive hormone therapy may lead to hormone imbalance, which has a long-term impact on women's menstrual cycle and fertility.
In addition, reproductive hormone therapy may also increase the incidence of endometriosis, breast hyperplasia and breast cancer.
Mental health complications
The third generation IVF technology involves such important links as the evaluation of fertility, embryo selection and pregnancy process of both spouses, which often brings psychological pressure and mental health problems to both spouses.
First of all, most couples tend to have high expectations for the third-generation IVF. If the treatment fails, it will bring great shock and sense of loss.
Secondly, the treatment process may require multiple operations and inspections, which will consume and burden the couple's psychology and emotions.
In addition, the study found that couples receiving three generations of IVF treatment generally had mental health risks such as anxiety, depression and marital relationship problems.
Summary
The complications of the third generation IVF hospital involve embryo selection, multiple pregnancy, reproductive hormone treatment and mental health. Misjudgment in embryo selection and embryo damage may lead to pregnancy failure; Multiple pregnancy brings a series of risks to pregnant women and fetuses; Reproductive hormone therapy may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and hormone imbalance; Couples may face psychological pressure and mental health problems during treatment. Therefore, when choosing a third-generation IVF hospital, both husband and wife need to fully understand the possible complications and risks, and make wise decisions under the guidance of doctors.
