Risks and side effects of the third generation IVF in Guangzhou
With the progress of science and technology and the continuous development of IVF technology, many medical institutions in Guangzhou have begun to use the third-generation IVF technology to help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. However, while the third generation IVF technology has achieved success, it also has certain risks and side effects. This article will elaborate from four aspects: pregnancy risk, embryo transfer related risk, multiple pregnancy and genetic disease risk, and introduce how to avoid these risks and side effects.
1、 Pregnancy risk
IVF technology has certain limitations in the success rate. Women may have infertility, miscarriage or premature delivery after IVF surgery. In addition, IVF also has a heavy load on women's bodies, which is easy to cause complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension and gestational diabetes.
In order to reduce the risk of pregnancy, women should try their best to keep healthy before IVF, take regular physical examination and timely find and deal with possible health problems. During pregnancy, pregnant women should follow the doctor's guidance for routine prenatal examination, while maintaining good living habits and healthy diet, to avoid overwork and emotional fluctuations.
2、 Risk associated with embryo transfer
In IVF technology, embryo transfer is a key step, and there are certain risks in the process of embryo transfer. For example, embryos may not be successfully implanted into the uterus, leading to transplant failure; Or the embryo implantation dislocation after transplantation may lead to ectopic pregnancy and other complications.
In order to reduce the risks associated with embryo transfer, doctors will evaluate and screen embryos before transfer, and select embryos with good quality and high success rate. At the same time, in the process of embryo transfer, doctors need to be skilled, operate accurately, and follow strict aseptic operation principles.
3、 Multiple pregnancy
IVF technology may lead to a higher risk of multiple pregnancy, because doctors usually implant multiple embryos at a time to increase the success rate of pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy brings higher risks to both pregnant women and fetuses, such as premature delivery, placental dysfunction, etc.
In order to avoid the risk of multiple pregnancy, on the one hand, the doctor should fully communicate with the couple before embryo transfer to determine a reasonable number of embryos implanted to avoid excessive multiple births. On the other hand, doctors should accurately judge the quality of embryos in the process of embryo transfer, select better embryos for implantation, so as to reduce the incidence of multiple pregnancy.
4、 Genetic disease risk
IVF technology can help couples avoid the transmission of genetic diseases to a certain extent, but there are still some risks. First, due to the limitations of current genetic disease screening technology, it is impossible to identify all genetic diseases. Secondly, IVF cannot completely eliminate the possibility of embryos carrying genetic disease genes.
In order to reduce the risk of genetic diseases, couples should receive comprehensive genetic counseling and gene testing before using IVF technology to understand the family genetic history and possible genes of genetic diseases. At the same time, doctors should strengthen evaluation and screening when conducting embryo screening and transfer operations to reduce the risk of transmission of genetic diseases.
summary
The third generation of IVF technology in Guangzhou provides an opportunity for infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams. However, the success of this technology is accompanied by certain risks and side effects. These risks and side effects can be effectively reduced and the success rate and safety of IVF technology can be improved by strengthening health care, selecting high-quality embryos, reasonable implantation quantity, and doing genetic counseling and screening well.
