Adverse effects of IVF on female body
Test tube baby is a widely used assisted reproductive technology in reproductive medicine, which helps many couples realize their desire to have children. However, although IVF technology has made great progress, it has also brought some adverse effects on women's bodies. The following will elaborate on the adverse effects of IVF on women's bodies from four aspects: physiological, psychological, economic and social aspects.
Physiological aspects
First of all, hormone therapy during IVF may lead to a series of side effects in women's body, such as mood fluctuation, headache, breast pain, etc. These discomfort may affect women's daily life and work, and bring them unnecessary pain.
Secondly, IVF requires multiple egg retrieval operations, which is a physical burden for women. Egg retrieval surgery involves the use of a needle tube to puncture the ovary for egg retrieval. This process may cause discomfort or pain, and there is a certain risk of surgery.
In addition, complications may occur during IVF, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). OHSS is an abnormal ovarian reaction, which can lead to ovarian swelling, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms, and may endanger women's lives in serious cases.
Psychological aspects
IVF is a hard process, and women may experience a long time of treatment and waiting, which will bring them great psychological pressure. Many girls will feel anxiety, disappointment and self blame during IVF, which has a negative impact on their mental health.
In addition, the success rate of IVF is not high, and many couples need to try many times to succeed. This kind of repeated failure and waiting may cause women's depression and psychological fatigue, which may cause distress to their emotions. Some women may even fall into depression, affecting their quality of life.
Finally, after the success of IVF, women may face new psychological pressure. As mothers, they need to bear the responsibility and pressure of raising children, which is also a challenge to women's mental health.
Economic aspects
Test tube baby is an expensive medical technology, which has great pressure on the economic status of female families. IVF technology requires a series of treatments and examinations, but these costs are not included in the medical insurance coverage. Many families need to spend a lot of money to pay for the related costs.
In addition, in the process of IVF, women need to take leave and stop work to better cooperate with treatment and recovery. This may cause women and families to lose a certain amount of economic income, increasing the economic burden.
Even if we try our best many times, IVF cannot guarantee success. If couples fail to give birth successfully, they may fall into economic difficulties and have to bear the huge economic losses caused by early investment.
Social aspects
As an artificial reproduction technology, IVF is often concerned and judged by society. Women may face moral pressure from society and question their identity. Some people may think that IVF is against the laws of nature, and they disagree with women's decision to choose IVF, which increases women's psychological burden.
In addition, society has different levels of cognition and support for IVF, and women may face curiosity or doubt from relatives, friends and even strangers. This situation may have an impact on women's self-esteem and social relations, increasing their discomfort in society.
Summary
To sum up, IVF has brought adverse effects on women's physical, psychological, economic and social aspects. Although IVF technology has brought good news to many couples, we should also pay attention to the problems and challenges women face in this process and provide them with more comprehensive support and care.
