What are the effects of tube baby curettage on women?
Test tube baby is one of the more and more popular infertility treatments in recent years, and curettage, as a necessary operation, may bring some effects and discomfort to women. The following discusses the effects of IVF curettage on women from the aspects of physiology, psychology, economy and social interaction.
Impact 1: Physiological
1. Risk of bleeding and infection after curettage. In the process of IVF, curettage is a routine operation to scrape some tissue from the uterus for embryo transfer. This operation may lead to the aggravation of inflammatory changes in women, or lead to infection. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the bleeding and infection after curettage.
2. Damage to uterine mucosa. Curettage may lead to endometrial damage, which may have a certain impact on women's fertility. During the recovery period after the operation, some women may need more time to recover the uterus.
3. May cause abnormal menstruation. After curettage, women's menstrual period may appear irregular, prolonged, or excessive bleeding. This is due to the impact of surgery on the endometrium and the body's adaptation process. Usually, the menstrual period will return to normal after a period of time.
Impact 2: Psychological
1. Worry and uncertainty. Curettage is an important part of IVF, which may bring psychological pressure and anxiety to women. Worried about the complications or failure after the operation and the subsequent treatment effect, this psychological pressure may affect women's emotional and mental health.
2. Doubts about their own ability. Because curettage is needed to help conceive, some women may begin to doubt their fertility and have inferiority complex. This kind of suspicion and inferiority has a certain negative impact on women's mental health.
3. Impact on family and marriage. IVF treatment is a long-term and complex process, and every link, including curettage, needs the support and understanding of both husband and wife. If women encounter physical or psychological difficulties after surgery, they may have additional pressure on family and marriage.
Impact 3: economic
1. High cost. Test tube baby treatment and curettage need to invest a lot of economic costs. In addition to the cost of the operation itself, it also includes the cost of medical examination, medicine, follow-up and rehabilitation. The financial burden on families is huge.
2. Work and life pressure. Because IVF treatment requires multiple hospital visits and regular physical examinations, women may need to ask for leave or adjust their working hours. These additional burdens and pressures may cause some problems to women's work and life.
3. Uncertain returns. Although IVF treatment is considered to be an effective treatment for infertility, not every process can be successful and lead to healthy babies. There are still a certain proportion of couples who may not be able to conceive successfully, which means that their financial investment will not return in the end.
Impact 4: Social aspects
1. Social stress. The relatives and friends around may ask or question about the IVF treatment process, which may cause some embarrassment and pressure on women. Women need to find appropriate ways to respond to the concerns or curious eyes of others, and also need to find a social circle of understanding and support.
2. Comparison with other women. After successful IVF treatment and birth, women may face comparison and judgment from other women. This may bring pressure, competition or anxiety to women.
3. Need to accept the understanding and support of others. IVF treatment is a difficult task. Women need to find people around who understand and support them, whether they are family members, friends or treatment teams. Their support is crucial to women's emotional and mental health.
Summary
The impact of IVF curettage on women is mainly reflected in the physical, psychological, economic and social aspects. Physiologically, there may be risks of bleeding and infection, damage to the uterine mucosa, and abnormal menstruation. Psychological concerns and uncertainties may arise, questioning one's own ability, and the impact on family and marriage. The economy will bring high costs, work and life pressure, and uncertain returns. The social aspect may face social pressure, compare with others, and need to accept the understanding and support of others. Therefore, women need to fully consider these effects and prepare coping strategies when deciding to carry out IVF treatment.
