Sequela of IVF medical treatment
IVF medical treatment is a colonization technology, which controls the process of pregnancy through in vitro fertilization. Although this technology has helped many infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations, IVF medical treatment also has some sequelae. This article will elaborate on the sequelae of IVF medical treatment from the aspects of physical health, mental health, social adaptability and genetic diseases.
Physical health
First, the preterm birth rate of IVF babies is higher than that of naturally conceived babies. In vitro fertilization, IVF babies will experience early embryo implantation, which may lead to incomplete fetal development. Preterm infants are usually exposed to higher health risks, including inadequate respiratory system and weak immune system. Secondly, IVF may have cardiovascular system abnormalities. Studies have shown that IVF infants are at a relatively high risk of cardiovascular abnormalities after birth, which may lead to heart disease. In addition, IVF babies may face a higher risk of birth defects, such as cleft lip and palate, neural tube defects, etc.
However, not every IVF will have the above problems, and most IVF can grow up healthily. Modern medical technology and strict screening process can reduce these risks, but they cannot be completely eliminated.
Mental health
IVF babies may face mental health challenges during their growth. First, they may face identity problems. Compared with naturally conceived children, IVF may be more likely to have doubts and confusion about their own reproductive methods, which will affect their identity. Secondly, the treatment process experienced by IVF may bring psychological pressure. The parents of IVF babies may experience many failed attempts and disappointments, which may have a negative impact on their emotions, thus affecting the psychological health of IVF babies.
Social adaptability
IVF may face challenges in social adaptation. Since they were born through technical means rather than natural means, IVF babies may face prejudice and misunderstanding from others. This may cause them to feel isolated and insecure in their social environment. In addition, the parents of IVF may choose to hide this fact when receiving IVF medical treatment, trying to avoid the child facing social discrimination. However, once a child learns the truth, it may cause confusion and pain to his or her own life experience and have a negative impact on family relations.
Genetic diseases
The risk of genetic diseases in IVF is also worthy of attention. IVF babies are usually obtained through in vitro fertilization, which means that they may inherit their parents' genetic diseases or carry disease related genes. Although IVF Medical will check common genetic diseases during screening, there are still possible omissions. Therefore, IVF babies may face potential risks of genetic diseases during their growth, which will affect their health and quality of life.
summary
In general, IVF medical treatment has helped many infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations, but there are also some sequelae. These sequelae involve physical health, mental health, social adaptability and genetic diseases. Although modern medical technology and screening process can reduce these risks, they cannot be completely eliminated. For IVF babies and their families, comprehensive support and care should be provided to promote their physical and mental health.
