The risks and advantages of IVF multiple births
In vitro multiple births (IVF) is a phenomenon realized through assisted reproductive technology, which has certain risks and advantages. This article will elaborate on the risks and advantages of IVF multiple births from multiple perspectives.
risk
1. Risk of premature delivery
A major risk of IVF multiple births is preterm delivery. As multiple embryos are implanted into the uterus, the burden of the uterus will increase, leading to an increase in the probability of premature delivery. Premature infants face a series of health problems, such as incomplete respiratory system and immune system, which require additional medical care.
2. Risk of bleeding
Patients with IVF multiple fetuses may face a higher risk of bleeding during pregnancy. The uterus expands too fast during pregnancy, which is easy to cause endometrial bleeding. Moreover, it is also a huge challenge to provide sufficient nutrition and oxygen for multiple embryos, which may lead to placental insufficiency, thus increasing the risk of bleeding.
3. Pregnancy complications
The pregnancy complications of IVF multiple fetuses are common. As multiple embryos grow in the womb, the pregnant mother's body needs to undergo greater changes and challenges. The incidence of hypertension during pregnancy, gestational diabetes, placental abruption and other problems increased significantly.
4. Difficulty in embryo selection
In IVF multiple fetuses, the family may need to select one or more embryos from multiple embryos for implantation. This process may also be accompanied by some difficulties and pressures. Families need to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of embryos, physical conditions, medical advice and other factors to make correct decisions.
advantage
1. Improve the success rate
The success rate of IVF multiple births is higher than that of single births. Since multiple embryos are implanted into the uterus, one or more of them can successfully implant and develop, increasing the chance of obtaining a healthy baby.
2. Save time and cost
Choosing IVF multiple births can save time and cost. Compared with multiple attempts of single embryo implantation, multiple embryo implantation at one time can get the chance of pregnancy faster. In addition, in a single pregnancy, the delivery of multiple babies can reduce the surgery, examination and other costs during multiple pregnancies.
3. Psychological support
Families with IVF multiple fetuses can have more psychological support in the whole process. In the process of fetal growth, families can support and encourage each other and share joys and challenges. This kind of support within the family can alleviate anxiety and stress.
4. Increased opportunities for rehabilitation
IVF multiple births can increase the chance of successful pregnancy, especially for older women or women who are difficult to conceive. If a single embryo implantation fails, multiple embryo implantation can provide another pregnancy opportunity, increasing the possibility of successful pregnancy.
summary
The risks of IVF multiple births mainly include premature delivery, bleeding, pregnancy complications and difficulty in embryo selection. The advantages lie in improving the success rate, saving time and cost, psychological support and increasing the chances of successful pregnancy. When deciding whether to accept IVF multiple births, families should fully consider these risks and advantages, and fully discuss and communicate with doctors to make the most suitable decision.
