Symptoms of ascites after IVF
IVF babies are babies born through in vitro fertilization technology. In some cases, IVF may develop ascites, which is an abnormal increase in the volume of fluid in the fetal abdominal cavity. Ascites may affect the health of the fetus, so early understanding of the symptoms of ascites is very important for parents with IVF.
gain weight
In the case of ascites accumulation in IVF, the fetus may have significant weight gain. This is because the presence of ascites will cause the belly of the fetus to expand, thus making the fetus look fat on the whole. Under the influence of ascites, the weight growth of the fetus may exceed the normal range, which may attract the attention of doctors.
In addition, the fetus' abdomen may show obvious swelling, which is also a manifestation of weight gain. Parents should pay close attention to the weight of the fetus and the shape of the abdomen, communicate with the doctor in time, and eliminate the possibility of ascites.
Chest dyspnea
The accumulation of ascites may cause pressure on the respiratory system of test tube babies, resulting in fetal dyspnea. Because ascites occupies the space of the fetal abdominal cavity, the lungs that should be developed by the fetus are squeezed. The fetus cannot breathe normally in the uterus, which may cause the fetus to face respiratory challenges at birth.
Parents can observe the breathing condition by paying attention to the activity of the fetus in the uterus. If the fetus yawns, kicks or sucks fingers frequently, this may be the manifestation of dyspnea caused by ascites pressure. When these symptoms are found, doctors should be consulted in time to seek professional diagnosis and treatment.
Abdominal discomfort
Test tube babies may experience abdominal discomfort when ascites accumulates. This is because the pressure of ascites will lead to fetal abdominal compression and discomfort. The fetus may show abdominal pain, restlessness or restlessness.
These abdominal discomfort may also lead to decreased fetal activity. Parents should pay close attention to the activities of the fetus in the uterus, and pay attention to the changes in the frequency and intensity of fetal movements. If the fetal movement is significantly reduced or the fetus shows abnormal restlessness, it is necessary to seek medical advice in time for further examination.
Irregular heartbeat
The accumulation of ascites may compress the heart of the test tube baby, resulting in irregular heartbeat. The presence of ascites will squeeze the heart of the fetus, thus affecting the normal rhythm of the heart. The fetus may have a fast, slow or irregular heartbeat.
For parents, it is extremely important to observe the fetal heart rate monitoring. The fetal heart rate shall be monitored regularly to detect irregular heartbeat in time, and further treatment and treatment shall be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
Summary
The symptoms of ascites after IVF mainly include weight gain, chest dyspnea, abdominal discomfort and irregular heartbeat. These symptoms are caused by the influence of ascites on the fetus. For parents with IVF, it is very important to understand and recognize these symptoms as early as possible, so as to seek medical advice in time and take appropriate treatment measures.
