Pain problems that IVF babies may face
IVF refers to the babies bred in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization or other assisted reproductive technologies. Although IVF technology is a great blessing for couples who cannot conceive naturally, in this process, babies may face some pain problems. The pain problems that IVF may face will be described in detail below.
1. Physical pain
During IVF, babies may experience some physiological pain. First, in the process of egg retrieval, women need to undergo the operation of egg extraction, which may cause a certain degree of pressure and pain to the baby. Secondly, during the process of embryo transfer, the baby may be put into the uterus, which may cause some discomfort and pain.
In addition, IVF technology also needs to use some drugs to assist women's ovulation. These drugs may have an impact on the baby's body, causing pain and discomfort. Although these pains are generally temporary, they still have a certain impact on the development and growth of infants.
2. Psychological pain and emotional problems
The process of IVF is a long and hard journey for couples. In the process of continuous attempts, couples may experience failures and setbacks, which will bring them great psychological pain and emotional problems. This emotional problem can also affect the emotions of IVF babies during their mother's pregnancy, resulting in stress and pain in the womb.
At the same time, IVF may face some psychological problems related to biological kinship. For some IVF babies, they may face cognitive and emotional confusion in the future, because they may have to face the fact that their genetic relationship does not match.
3. Social pain and psychological pressure
IVF has always been a subject of controversy and social pressure. For some IVF babies and their parents, they may face doubts and misunderstandings from family, friends and society. This kind of social pain and psychological pressure may have a certain negative impact on the life and development of infants.
In addition, the cultivation process of IVF also requires multiple in vivo and in vitro operations, which may bring additional mental and physical burdens to infants and their parents. This mental and physical burden may aggravate the baby's pain and discomfort.
4. Health problems and long-term effects
IVF babies may face some health problems and long-term effects. According to research, IVF babies may have a higher rate of premature delivery and low birth weight babies after birth. These factors may increase the risk of various physical and health problems faced by infants in their postnatal life.
In addition, IVF may also face some long-term psychological and cognitive problems. Some studies have shown that IVF babies may have some differences in cognition and behavior, and may be more prone to problems such as inattention and hyperactivity disorder.
Summary
The pain problems that IVF babies may face include physical pain, psychological pain and emotional problems, social pain and psychological pressure, as well as health problems and long-term effects. These issues need our attention and concern to provide better care and support for IVF.
