Does IVF affect the mother's body?

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In the process of IVF, the mother's body may be affected to some extent. This article will elaborate on the physical impact of IVF on mothers from both physiological and psychological aspects.

Physiological effects

1. Hormone regulation

During IVF, mothers need hormone therapy to promote the development and collection of eggs. This hormone treatment may cause the mother to produce symptoms of hormone imbalance during treatment, such as emotional fluctuations, breast pain, etc. Some mothers may also experience headache, dizziness and other discomfort during treatment.

2. Complications during treatment

During IVF treatment, mothers may face some risks of complications, such as hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), ectopic pregnancy, etc. These complications will affect the mother's health to a certain extent, and medical intervention is needed in time.

3. Operation risk

In the process of IVF, the mother needs to take eggs or transfer embryos. Although modern medical technology has been quite mature, the operation itself still has certain risks, such as bleeding, infection, etc. The mother needs to pay close attention to her recovery after surgery and follow the doctor's nursing advice.

Psychological influence

1. Emotional pressure

The IVF process is a period of expectation and anxiety for couples. Mother is under extra emotional pressure, especially after many failed attempts. This kind of emotional pressure may lead to mother's depression, anxiety, fatigue and other symptoms.

2. Psychological burden

The IVF process requires couples to pay high economic, time and energy costs. Compared with other ordinary pregnant women, mothers need to face more examinations, treatments and operations, which brings extra psychological burden to mothers.

3. Relationship changes

The IVF process may have an impact on the relationship between couples. Mother and father may have friction and contradiction due to childbirth difficulties. At the same time, the psychological pressure in the process of IVF may also lead to tension or alienation between the mother and the people around.

summary

IVF has certain physiological and psychological effects on the mother's body. Physiologically, hormone regulation, complications during treatment and surgical risks are issues that need to be paid attention to. In terms of psychology, emotional pressure, psychological burden and relationship change are the challenges that mothers need to face. However, we should also be aware that these impacts are temporary and acceptable compared with the realization of fertility aspirations. For couples who want to try IVF, it is important to clarify their goals and seek appropriate support and help to reduce the burden of these impacts.
