Effects of IVF on the body
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a reproductive method in which the fertilized eggs are transferred into the uterus of women through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although IVF technology has made a great breakthrough in solving the problem of infertility, people are generally concerned about whether IVF will have some negative effects on the body. This article will elaborate the influence of IVF on the body from several aspects.
1. Side effects of hormone therapy
Hormone therapy is needed during IVF to promote follicular development and ovulation. The side effect of hormone therapy is one of the common problems in IVF. Some women may experience emotional fluctuations, breast pain, headache, nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms. In addition, hormone therapy may increase the risk of endometriosis, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and other diseases.
However, it should be noted that the side effects of hormone therapy are usually temporary, that is, they will gradually disappear after the treatment, and doctors will closely monitor patients during the treatment to ensure that the impact of side effects is minimized.
2. Operation risk
Some operations may be required during IVF, which may be accompanied by certain surgical risks. For example, infection, bleeding and other complications may occur during egg retrieval. In addition, embryo transfer surgery also has the risk of bacterial infection and uterine perforation.
It should be noted that these surgical risks also exist in other medical operations. Moreover, IVF surgery is usually carried out by experienced doctors in professional clinics or hospitals, and the operation technology is mature, which can reduce the risk of surgery.
3. Risk of complications during pregnancy
After the success of IVF, women entered the pregnancy stage. Because the way of IVF is different from natural pregnancy, it will face some special risks and complications during pregnancy.
First, IVF pregnancy has a high rate of multiple births, which will increase the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight and other problems. Secondly, IVF pregnancy may have a higher risk of abortion. In addition, the risk of suffering from hypertension, diabetes and other diseases during pregnancy is slightly higher than that of naturally pregnant women.
However, after understanding these risks, doctors will take corresponding preventive measures to reduce the incidence of these complications through regular inspection and monitoring.
4. Psychological and social impact
The influence of IVF on individual psychology and society also needs to be considered. During IVF, patients may experience emotional fluctuations, especially in the case of treatment failure or failure. At the same time, they may face pressure and doubt from family and society.
However, the success rate of IVF has increased year by year, and the continuous progress of science and technology has also brought hope and gospel to those who are eager to become parents. At the same time, psychological support, family and social understanding and support can also help alleviate the psychological and social pressure of IVF patients.
summary
To sum up, IVF is of great significance in solving the problem of infertility, but we should also recognize its possible impact on the body. The side effects of hormone therapy, the risk of surgery, the risk of complications during pregnancy, and the psychological and social impact need to be paid attention to. However, it needs to be emphasized that doctors will take measures to minimize these impacts, and patients can also reduce physical and mental pressure by actively responding and seeking support. With a real hospital and strict supervision, IVF technology can bring fertility hope to infertile patients.
