What are the symptoms of test tube baby ascites
IVF refers to the baby born by implanting the fertilized egg into the mother body after IVF through assisted reproductive technology. Ascites is a common perinatal disease, which will affect the health and survival of IVF. This article will introduce the symptoms of ascites in test tube babies, in order to improve parents' understanding of ascites, and find and treat it as soon as possible.
1. Abnormal appearance
After the test tube baby has ascites, the appearance of the abdomen will show some abnormalities. First, the abdomen will expand significantly, showing the characteristics of enlargement, which is often described as "bucket waist". Secondly, the swollen skin of the abdomen will become tense, feel hard and rebound slowly under pressure when touching. In addition, the abdominal vein of the child will be exposed obviously, showing purple color.
Abnormality of abdominal appearance may indicate that IVF has ascites, but it has certain limitations. Therefore, if the child is suspected of having ascites, it is necessary to seek medical advice in time for further examination.
2. Feeding problems
Test tube babies with ascites may have difficulty in feeding. The increase of ascites will occupy the space of stomach, which will lead to the decrease of stomach volume and appetite of children, and will easily lead to fullness, vomiting and other phenomena when taking milk. Due to the reduction of stomach volume, children need to eat more frequently to meet their growth needs.
At the same time, ascites may also affect the intestinal function of children, leading to flatulence and diarrhea. These symptoms will lead to the deterioration of the general condition of the children and affect their growth and development. Therefore, when IVF babies have feeding problems, parents should pay attention and consult doctors in time for diagnosis and treatment.
3. Respiratory disorders
Ascites will not only affect the digestive system of test tube babies, but also may affect the respiratory system. Because of the presence of ascites, the diaphragm of children will be compressed, which will lead to the limitation of diaphragm contraction during normal breathing, affect the increase of vital capacity, and then lead to dyspnea.
Dyspnea in test tube infants may be manifested as shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, cyanosis and other symptoms. When ascites seriously affects the respiratory function of children, auxiliary ventilation may be required to maintain normal breathing. Therefore, when IVF babies have respiratory problems, parents should seek medical advice in a timely manner and accept the evaluation and treatment of professional doctors.
4. Changes in general conditions
Ascites will bring obvious changes to the general condition of IVF. Due to the pressure of ascites, children often have systemic edema, which is manifested as facial and limb edema. In addition, children may suffer from poor weight gain due to impaired digestion and absorption function.
In addition, ascites may also cause anemia in children, manifested as pale, weak, fatigue and other symptoms. Anemia will affect the physical development and immune function of children, and aggravate the susceptibility to infection.
To sum up, the symptoms of IVF ascites mainly include abnormal appearance, feeding problems, respiratory disorders and changes in general conditions. Parents should pay close attention to the growth and development of the baby, seek medical advice in time, and receive diagnosis and treatment from professional doctors to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.
