The risks of IVF to parents
The development of IVF technology has given many infertile couples the opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams. However, there are certain risks in the IVF process. This article will elaborate on the risks of IVF to parents from four aspects.
Physiological risk
IVF technology usually requires the application of assisted reproductive technology, including in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, etc. These processes may cause some physiological risks to women's bodies. First of all, women may have side effects such as polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian hyperstimulation when undergoing superovulation therapy. Secondly, in the process of embryo transfer, uterine cavity perforation, endometriosis and other complications may occur. In addition, risks such as premature delivery, placenta previa, pregnancy induced hypertension may occur during pregnancy. Therefore, attention should be paid to the physiological risks of IVF to parents.
However, most IVF parents can reduce these physiological risks through reasonable drug use and technical operation under the guidance and monitoring of professional doctors. In addition, when choosing a regular hospital for IVF technology, doctors will make a comprehensive assessment of the patients and formulate a reasonable plan according to individual conditions to reduce the possibility of physiological risks.
Psychological risk
The process of IVF is also an important risk for parents' psychological pressure. Infertile couples usually face the psychological impact of fertility difficulties, while IVF technology is still unsuccessful for some infertile patients, which may cause parents' depression, anxiety and disappointment. In addition, IVF technology requires a long treatment process, which may cause changes in the family's economic burden and lifestyle, and also have a certain impact on parents' psychology.
In order to reduce psychological risk, infertile couples can actively seek psychological counseling, establish contacts with professional doctors and social support groups, and obtain emotional support and guidance. In addition, it is also very important for families and couples to have real expectations about the potential risks and success rate of IVF technology.
economic risks
IVF technology is relatively expensive treatment, including medical costs, drug costs and follow-up infant support costs, which will increase the economic burden of families. Especially for patients who have a long treatment cycle or need to try many times, the economic risk is more prominent.
In order to deal with economic risks, patients can choose appropriate medical insurance to reduce the burden of treatment costs. At the same time, selecting a regular hospital with reasonable price and good reputation for IVF technology operation can ensure medical quality while avoiding unnecessary costs. In addition, we may be able to obtain economic support if we understand relevant government policies and social welfare measures.
Family risk
The success rate of IVF technology decreases with the increase of age, and there are still cases that infertile couples cannot succeed after many attempts. The relationship between the couple and the harmony of the family pose certain risks. Long term treatment process and birth anxiety may lead to tension between husband and wife, increasing the incidence of marital crisis.
In order to avoid family risks, both husband and wife need to maintain effective communication and support to jointly face the pressure and challenges of treatment. If necessary, it is also a good choice to seek psychological counseling and marriage counseling. It is important for couples to understand and support each other, and realize that the frustration of childbirth does not mean the lack of love.
summary
IVF technology has certain physiological, psychological, economic and family risks for parents. However, appropriate hospital selection, professional doctors' guidance and support, and psychological counseling can reduce the probability of these risks. For infertile couples, it is also very important to treat risks and possible failures in IVF rationally and maintain a positive attitude.
