What are the risks to the body of IVF reduction?
In vitro fetal reduction is a method of adjusting the number of fetuses by selectively terminating some embryos after IVF embryo transfer. Although IVF reduction is intended to meet family needs or reduce pregnancy risks, this operation is not without risks. The following are some possible physical risks of IVF reduction:
1. Risk during tire reduction
The process of tire reduction may lead to a series of complications. First, surgical fetal reduction may cause infection, bleeding or organ damage. For example, if the uterus is damaged during fetal reduction, it may interfere with the normal growth and development of the embryo. These complications will increase the physical burden of pregnant women to a certain extent and pose a threat to their health.
Secondly, drug induced labor is one of the commonly used methods of fetal reduction. However, the use of drugs to induce labor is not completely safe. Drug induced labor may cause uterine bleeding, infection and uterine fibroids. This may lead to discomfort in pregnant women and increase the risk of other complications.
In addition, fetal reduction surgery itself has certain risks. Fetal reduction surgery may lead to cervical relaxation, thereby increasing the risk of premature delivery. Preterm birth is a major challenge to the health of the fetus, which may lead to poor growth, dyspnea and other long-term health problems.
2. Psychological risk
IVF reduction may have some impact on the mental health of family members. First of all, IVF reduction may cause a sense of guilt and sadness in pregnant women. Pregnant women may feel pain when they make the decision to reduce their fetus, which has a noticeable impact on their mental health.
In addition, for other family members, fetal reduction may lead to a sense of loss, especially for family members who have expected and connected to these terminated embryos. This loss may cause emotional distress and psychological pressure on family members, and have a negative impact on family relations and personal mental health.
In general, IVF reduction may have a long-term impact on family mental health. Dealing with these psychological risks requires active family support, psychological counseling and appropriate rehabilitation plans.
3. Risk of pregnancy complications
IVF reduction may increase the risk of pregnancy complications for pregnant women. On the one hand, pregnant women who have lost their fetuses may have multiple fetuses at the same time, which increases the risk of complications such as premature delivery, low birth weight and fetal growth restriction. These complications may have a significant negative impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
On the other hand, IVF reduction may cause hormonal disorders in pregnant women, which may lead to abnormal fetal development. This may increase the risk of fetal congenital malformations, such as congenital heart disease. These complications may require additional treatment and infant care, bringing additional burdens to families.
4. Legal and ethical risks
IVF reduction involves legal and ethical issues. Some countries and regions have strict regulations on the legality, restrictions and procedures of tire reduction. If IVF reduction is not carried out within the legal scope, it may face legal risks and pressure of public opinion.
In addition, fetal reduction involves moral and ethical issues among family members. Family members may have disputes and disagreements, or even feel guilty and uneasy. To deal with these legal and ethical risks, we need to clarify the legal provisions and consult relevant professionals, and solve moral and ethical problems through active communication and support.
Summary
IVF reduction poses many risks to the body. The operation of fetal reduction itself may cause a series of complications, increasing the body burden of pregnant women and the risk of complications. Fetal reduction may also bring psychological risks, which may have a long-term impact on the mental health of family members. In addition, fetal reduction may increase the risk of pregnancy complications for pregnant women and cause legal and ethical issues. Therefore, the operation of IVF reduction should be carefully considered and carried out under the guidance of doctors. Families need to fully understand and accept the relevant risks, and actively manage their mental and physical health.
