How high is the incidence of ascites in test tube infants?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of transferring embryos to the mother's uterus for pregnancy and delivery. However, due to the uncertainty of IVF technology, IVF may encounter many complications during its development. Among them, ascites is a common complication, and its incidence has attracted much attention.
morbidity
The actual incidence is calculated based on medical statistics. According to the statistics of a large reproductive hospital in China, the incidence of ascites in test tube infants is about 10%. This means that 1 in 10 IVF babies may have ascites as a complication.
Although the incidence of ascites is not particularly high, it is still a worrying problem for patients. Therefore, during the pregnancy of IVF, doctors and patients need to pay close attention to the development of embryos and conduct regular inspection, so as to find and deal with ascites in a timely manner.
Pathogenesis
There are many possible causes of ascites in test tube infants. First, infection or other complications may exist in the process of embryo transfer, which may lead to abnormal embryonic development and ascites. Secondly, the instability of the maternal internal environment, such as infection during pregnancy or unsuitable intrauterine environment for embryonic development, may also promote the production of ascites. In addition, genetic factors and gene mutations of the embryo itself may also be one of the causes of ascites.
For different causes of disease, doctors need to develop appropriate treatment plans to improve the survival rate and health index of IVF.
Clinical manifestations and treatment
The presence of ascites may have adverse effects on the health of IVF infants. Ascites will increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity of the fetus, lead to abnormal development of fetal organs, and may affect the respiratory and digestive functions of the fetus. Therefore, once ascites is found, doctors need to take timely measures for treatment.
The way to treat ascites usually depends on the specific situation of the fetus. If the amount of ascites is small, doctors may choose to monitor the development of the fetus and provide necessary support treatment, such as intravenous nutrition and respiratory support. For patients with a large amount of ascites, puncture and pumping surgery may be required to reduce the accumulation of ascites.
With the development of technology, the treatment of IVF ascites has become more and more diversified. Doctors continue to make efforts to improve treatment methods and improve the survival and development rate of IVF.
Summary
The incidence of ascites in test tube infants is about 10%. Ascites may have adverse effects on the development and health of test tube babies, so it is necessary to find and treat them in time. The pathogenesis of ascites may include abnormal embryonic development, instability of maternal internal environment and genetic factors of the embryo itself. According to different causes of disease, doctors will develop individualized treatment plans. In the future, with the continuous development of medical technology, it is believed that there will be better measures and results for the treatment of IVF ascites.
