What side effects will IVF produce?
IVF refers to the process of using artificial technology to complete the fertilization process in vitro, and then transfer the fertilized eggs to the mother's womb for development. Although IVF technology enables couples who are unable to conceive to realize their desire to have children, it also has some side effects and risks. This article will elaborate on the side effects of IVF from four aspects: physical health, mental health, economic burden and social concept.
Health side effects
IVF technology may have a noticeable impact on women's health. First of all, women need to receive high-dose hormone therapy, such as progesterone, during the process of ovulation promotion, which may cause side effects of drugs, including mood fluctuations, abdominal distension, breast pain, etc. Secondly, in the process of egg retrieval, women may face surgical risks, such as infection, bleeding and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. In addition, because the success rate of IVF is limited, multiple attempts are needed, which will also bring some burden to women's bodies.
In addition, IVF technology also has an impact on the health of infants. Research shows that IVF may face a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities and birth defects, especially in the case of older women and multiple manual operations. Therefore, the lack of understanding of ground-based technology may make IVF provide systematic, reliable and stable economic support for a long time.
In general, side effects of physical health are an important problem faced by IVF infants, and related risks need to be properly managed and controlled.
Mental health side effects
The process of IVF will also have a certain impact on the psychological health of couples. First of all, patients may face long-term infertility anxiety, lose confidence and hope, and have negative feelings towards themselves before IVF. Secondly, failure to try IVF for many times will bring psychological depression and despair to couples. In addition, the psychological pressure, responsibility and expectation for the success of IVF will also have a certain impact on the psychological health of couples.
In order to reduce the psychological pressure of couples, relevant hospitals will provide psychological counseling services to help couples maintain a positive and optimistic attitude throughout the IVF process. Couples can also find supportive communities and conduct emotional exchanges to alleviate psychological pressure and anxiety.
financial burden
IVF technology not only has an impact on the physical and mental health of couples, but also has an economic burden that cannot be ignored. First, IVF technology itself costs more, including hormone therapy, surgery costs, IVF pregnancy and delivery process. Secondly, the possibility of repeated attempts increases the economic burden. Couples need to consider how to deal with the emotional and economic pressure caused by possible failures and repeated shocks.
In order to cope with the economic burden, some regions provide medical insurance or subsidy policies for IVF technology to help couples share some of the costs. In addition, couples can also make economic planning in advance and reasonably distribute family income to cope with possible expenses.
Social concept
IVF technology has caused extensive discussion and controversy in society. Some people worry that IVF technology may cause problems in fertility and genetic morality. In addition, the birth mode of IVF is different from that of natural pregnancy, which may also cause discrimination and prejudice in some social groups.
However, with the progress of society and technology, the recognition of IVF technology has gradually increased. Some countries and regions have standardized laws and regulations on IVF technology to ensure its safety and legality. Strengthening the science popularization of IVF technology will also help to change social attitudes and reduce prejudice against IVF.
summary
IVF technology has brought some side effects and risks while helping couples who are unable to conceive to realize their reproductive dreams. From the aspects of physical health, mental health, economic burden and social concept, IVF may have a certain impact on the physical health of pregnant women, cause a certain pressure on the psychological health of couples, increase the economic burden, and cause disputes on social concepts. Therefore, when promoting and applying IVF technology, it is necessary to comprehensively consider and balance relevant interests to ensure that potential side effects and risks are reduced to ensure the physical and mental health of couples and children.
