How to be alert to the risk of IVF fetal arrest
The wide application of IVF technology has brought good news to many infertile couples, but it is also accompanied by a series of potential risks, including fetal arrest. Fetal arrest refers to the phenomenon that an embryo stops growing and developing during pregnancy. In order to help couples be alert to the risk of IVF fetal arrest, this article will elaborate on monitoring embryonic development, controlling environmental factors, selecting appropriate hospitals and improving maternal health.
Monitoring embryonic development
It is very important to monitor the embryo whether it is in the in vitro cultivation stage of IVF or in the pregnancy period after implantation into the uterus. During in vitro cultivation, professional hospitals should regularly observe and evaluate the development of embryos, and make corresponding adjustments according to the development. During pregnancy, doctors should conduct regular prenatal examinations, including ultrasound and blood tests, as well as other necessary examinations. These examinations can help doctors find abnormalities of the fetus in time, such as embryo stop developing.
In the process of monitoring embryo development, couples can also observe some physical signs to understand the health of the fetus. For example, pregnant women can always pay attention to the frequency and regularity of fetal movements. Frequent fetal movements indicate that the fetus is normal. In addition, pay attention to the physical condition of the pregnant women, such as dizziness, nausea and other discomfort, and timely communicate with the doctor.
Control environmental factors
Environmental factors are one of the important factors affecting the risk of IVF fetal arrest. First, pregnant women should avoid exposure to harmful substances, such as chemicals, radiation, etc. In daily life, to avoid contact with harmful substances, we can start from the aspects of diet, living environment and working environment, keep the indoor air fresh and clean, avoid the use of chemical cleaners, and reasonably arrange working time and rest time.
In addition, pregnant women should try to avoid mental and emotional pressure during pregnancy, and keep happy and relax. Long term tension and anxiety will adversely affect the development of embryos. Couples can take part in some relaxation activities, such as yoga and walking, to relieve stress.
Select the right hospital
Choosing a suitable hospital is the key to the success of IVF. Couples need to consider multiple factors when choosing hospitals. First, the professional level and experience of the hospital are the most important. Through understanding the background and success rate of the hospital, we can judge whether it is trustworthy. Secondly, the equipment and technology of the hospital should also be at an advanced level, so that IVF can be carried out better. In addition, couples can also communicate with patients who have received IVF in the hospital to understand their experience and opinions, so as to make better choices.
Improve maternal health
Maternal health is an important aspect of risk management for IVF abortion. First of all, couples need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a balanced diet, take part in moderate exercise, and keep their weight within a reasonable range. In addition, we should regularly check our own health status, such as blood pressure, blood sugar and other indicators, to ensure good health. If there are some potential health problems, such as diabetes, hypertension, etc., the doctor should be informed in advance and receive appropriate treatment.
In a word, couples should be alert to the risk of fetal arrest in the process of IVF. By monitoring embryonic development, controlling environmental factors, selecting appropriate hospitals and improving maternal health and other efforts, the probability of fetal arrest can be reduced and the success rate of IVF can be increased.
