Is test tube baby Zheng Mengzhu at risk?
IVF is a method of assisted reproduction through in vitro fertilization, which makes many couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dream of becoming parents. However, with its joy and hope, IVF also has certain risks. Zheng Mengzhu, a Chinese woman, successfully passed the IVF technology for pregnancy and delivery. Let's discuss whether there are risks in IVF from the following aspects.
Success rate and cycle
The success rate of IVF is related to many factors, including the physical condition of the couple, the technical level of the hospital and the specific methods used. Operation failure may lead to multiple attempts, prolonged process, and increased economic and psychological pressure. In the case of Zheng Mengzhu's successful pregnancy, the professional team of the hospital improved the success rate of IVF through reasonable drug treatment and accurate operation technology.
However, each IVF cycle requires a certain amount of time and energy, and the wife needs to undergo multiple egg retrieval operations, which may cause a certain burden to the body. In addition, different surgical cycles may require multiple attempts, further increasing the risk and uncertainty.
Health risks
IVF pregnancy may face some health risks, including early abortion, ectopic pregnancy and fetal malformation. These risks are related to the wife's age, illness history and complications during treatment. Zheng Mengzhu's successful pregnancy under strict inspection and monitoring in the hospital proved that doctors' professional skills can reduce these risks.
In addition, after IVF babies are born, there may be some health problems, including premature delivery, low birth weight, heart and nerve development problems, etc. These risks are related to factors such as incomplete physiological development of IVF and medical procedures. However, with the continuous progress of medical technology, hospitals can provide better care and treatment to reduce these potential risks.
Psychological pressure
Treatment and waiting during IVF may cause psychological pressure on both spouses. Uncertain results, surgical pain, and repeated attempts of disappointment may lead to anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems. However, in the case of Zheng Mengzhu, she received good support through positive attitude and psychological counseling in the hospital, which helped to reduce psychological pressure.
economic cost
Although IVF technology has brought hope to many couples, its economic cost cannot be ignored. Each IVF cycle requires payment of medical expenses and related drug costs, and may require multiple attempts to succeed. For some families with poor economic conditions, this may be an unbearable burden.
To sum up, although IVF is an effective method of assisted reproduction, it also has certain risks. However, with the continuous progress of medical technology and the professional team of the hospital, these risks have been reduced. For those couples who cannot conceive naturally, IVF is still a way to realize their dream of becoming parents.
