IVF Dongguan: Is there any side effect?
IVF is one of the assisted reproductive technologies, which transfers the pregnancy process to the laboratory through in vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo transfer (ET) and other methods. With the development of assisted reproductive technology, Dongguan has many professional IVF hospitals to help infertile couples. However, whether IVF technology has side effects has always been a concern. This article will elaborate from the aspects of physical health, psychological condition, economic pressure and ethics.
good health
First, hormone therapy may lead to women suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Test tube babies need to inject a lot of hormones to promote the development of eggs, which will increase the risk of PCOS. PCOS can lead to irregular menstruation, abnormal ovulation, and even metabolic disorder and weight gain in women.
Second, superovulation syndrome is another potential health problem. In the process of IVF, in order to produce more eggs, doctors will use drugs to stimulate the ovary, which may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), whose symptoms include abdominal distention, vomiting, dyspnea, etc.
Third, genital tract infection is a potential risk during IVF surgery. After taking the eggs, the sperm and eggs are combined into an embryo, and the embryo is transferred back to the uterus. This process needs to be carried out through the vagina, which may lead to bacterial infection. Preoperative and postoperative infection control requirements are strict to reduce this risk.
Psychological condition
First, the influence of IVF process on husband wife relationship. Infertile couples have experienced a long time of treatment and waiting, and their psychological pressure is huge. They may have emotional problems such as anxiety and depression, which will impact the relationship between husband and wife.
Second, the uncertainty of IVF success rate will also affect the psychological status of couples. Infertile couples must face the possibility of multiple failures, and each failure may make them feel desperate and disappointed.
Third, the expectation pressure during IVF is also one aspect of mental health problems. As IVF is an expensive treatment, couples may place their expectations of pregnancy on this process, so they will face greater psychological pressure as the number of failures increases.
Economic pressure
First, the cost of IVF is an important consideration for infertile couples. IVF includes many parts, such as in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, hormone therapy, and so on, each of which requires expenses. With the possibility of repeated attempts, the economic burden is considerable.
Second, if IVF is successful, raising children is also a potential economic pressure. The IVF process itself costs a lot, but the subsequent rearing costs, including education, health care, life and other aspects, are also huge.
Third, IVF may lead to potential occupational stress. Couples are greatly affected by the IVF process, so they may need a longer vacation or recuperation, which will affect their career and increase occupational stress.
Ethics
First, IVF technology has caused some ethical and moral problems. For example, the use of frozen embryos, the selection and screening of embryos and other issues triggered the discussion of bioethics.
Second, the commercialization of IVF technology has also triggered some controversy. With the maturity of IVF technology, some institutions began to carry out profitable activities, involving embryo purchase, surrogacy and other issues, which caused ethical discussions.
Third, the application scope and restrictions of IVF technology also involve ethics. For example, whether IVF technology should be applied to older women and whether IVF technology should be used for carriers of genetic diseases have aroused some ethical considerations.
On the whole, IVF technology has developed maturely in Dongguan, but we cannot ignore the side effects of technology. From the aspects of physical health, psychological condition, economic pressure and ethics, IVF process may face some potential problems. Therefore, before IVF treatment, couples should fully understand the risks and side effects of technology and make wise decisions.
