The influence of IVF on mother
IVF refers to the embryos that are cultivated in the laboratory and transferred into the mother's body through in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other technologies to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, the birth of IVF will also have an impact on the mother. The influence of IVF on mother will be described in detail from several aspects.
1. Physiological effects
The implementation of IVF technology will have a certain impact on maternal physiology. First, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer is an invasive operation, which may cause menstrual cycle disorder, mild abdominal pain and discomfort. Secondly, in order to improve the success rate of IVF, women need to receive large doses of ovulation promoting drugs. These drugs may lead to changes in hormone levels, causing discomfort such as breast pain and emotional fluctuations. In addition, after embryo transfer, women need to take progesterone supplements to promote embryo implantation, but this may lead to breast pain, dizziness and other uncomfortable symptoms.
However, most women's physiological effects during IVF are only slight, which can be alleviated by adjusting the drug dosage and paying attention to rest.
2. Psychological influence
The whole process of IVF is a psychological challenge for women. First, the uncertainty of IVF may bring stress and anxiety to women. Worries about whether they can successfully conceive and give birth to a healthy baby may affect women's mood and mental state. Secondly, IVF babies need to receive multiple treatments and examinations, which may affect women's self-confidence. Finally, if treatment fails or miscarriage occurs, women may face depression and psychological distress.
Therefore, in the process of IVF, women need the support and encouragement of their families, friends and professional doctors, and they can also help themselves adjust their mentality by participating in psychological counseling or seeking patient support groups.
3. Social impact
The completion of IVF requires a series of treatments and operations, and adjustment of life and work arrangements. This may have an impact on women's social life. First of all, during the treatment process, women need to go to the hospital frequently for examination and treatment. The investment of time and energy may lead to the reduction of women's relationship with family and friends. Secondly, because of the uncertainty and privacy of IVF, women may choose not to disclose their treatment process to people around them, leading to the narrowing and estrangement of the social circle.
Therefore, women need to communicate with family and friends and seek understanding and support in the process of IVF, which helps to reduce psychological pressure and social distress.
4. Economic impact
IVF treatment is an expensive medical technology, which will cause certain pressure on family economy. The hospital costs, drug costs and examination costs required for IVF treatment need to be borne. In addition, once the IVF baby is successfully pregnant, women also need to carry out more prenatal inspection and monitoring during pregnancy, increasing the financial burden of the family.
Therefore, before deciding on IVF treatment, families need to assess and prepare their financial situation to ensure that they can bear the corresponding costs.
summary
IVF will have a certain physiological, psychological, social and economic impact on the mother. The main physiological effects are the side effects of drug therapy and postoperative discomfort; Psychological effects mainly include pressure, anxiety and psychological distress; The social impact is mainly reflected in the reduction of the relationship with family and friends and privacy problems; The economic impact is mainly reflected in the cost pressure of treatment and prenatal care. Therefore, before IVF treatment, women need to be aware of these effects and actively seek support and adaptation to balance the impact of these effects on themselves.
