Risk and complications of IVF in Hunan Xiangya Hospital
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in the treatment of infertile couples. Although Xiangya Hospital, as a well-known medical institution, has advanced equipment and professional medical care team, IVF also has certain risks and complications, which will be described in detail from several aspects below.
1. In vitro fertilization risk
The first step of IVF is in vitro fertilization, that is, the combination of sperm and egg in the laboratory. However, this process is not entirely risk-free. First, there is a certain probability that in vitro fertilization will fail, making the fertilized egg unable to form. In addition, the quality of fertilized eggs may decline during in vitro fertilization, leading to abnormal embryonic development. In addition, in vitro fertilization requires the use of auxiliary technologies, such as ultrasound-guided egg retrieval, and patients may have complications such as infection and bleeding during surgery.
The risks and complications in the process of IVF need to be closely monitored and timely intervened by doctors to avoid adverse effects on patients and embryos.
2. Implantation risk
The second step of IVF is to implant the embryo into the patient's uterus. This step also has risks and complications. First of all, embryo implantation failure may occur during implantation, even if successful implantation, early abortion may also occur. In addition, there is a risk of multiple pregnancies after embryo implantation, that is, multiple fetuses are carried in one pregnancy, which increases the incidence of complications of pregnant women and fetuses.
Doctors need to accurately judge the quality of the embryo and the conditions of the patient's uterine cavity during the implantation process to avoid implantation failure and other complications.
3. Pregnancy complications
After the successful implantation of IVF, the patient enters the pregnancy period. Although for most patients, the complications of IVF pregnancy are similar to those of natural pregnancy, because IVF usually occurs in infertile couples, patients may have some basic diseases, which will increase the incidence of pregnancy complications, such as pregnancy hypertension, diabetes, etc. At the same time, patients with multiple pregnancies also face a higher risk of premature delivery and fetal development abnormalities.
Doctors need to closely monitor the pregnancy of IVF patients, and conduct prenatal examination regularly to find and deal with complications in time to ensure the health of mothers and infants.
4. Psychological pressure
Infertile couples often make the decision to choose IVF after a painful infertility treatment, so they may be under great psychological pressure. The twists and turns, failures and uncertainties of IVF treatment cycle may have a negative impact on patients' mental health, leading to anxiety, depression and other psychological problems.
Hunan Xiangya Hospital helps patients cope with these psychological pressures by providing psychological support and counseling. They establish close relationships with patients, actively respond to their needs, and provide comfort and support.
Summary
IVF is a complex medical technology. As a professional medical institution, Hunan Xiangya Hospital has accumulated rich experience in IVF treatment. However, IVF treatment still has some risks and complications. Fertilization failure and abnormal embryo development may occur during in vitro fertilization. Complications such as embryo implantation failure and early abortion may occur during embryo implantation. Pregnancy complications may occur during pregnancy, especially in patients with multiple pregnancies. In addition, infertile couples may be under psychological pressure. Therefore, in IVF treatment, doctors need to pay close attention to and intervene in time to ensure the health and safety of patients.
