Related risks of IVF in Kunming Kunhua Hospital
Test tube baby technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which has realized the birth dream for many infertile couples. However, like other medical technologies, IVF also has certain risks. The following will elaborate on the risks associated with IVF in Kunming Kunhua Hospital from four aspects: physiological risk, psychological risk, economic risk and ethical risk.
Physiological risk
IVF technology requires the use of hormone drugs to promote egg development and ovulation, which may lead to some side effects, such as multiple follicle development, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, etc. Multiple follicular development may lead to multiple pregnancies, increasing the risk of pregnant women and fetuses. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may lead to ovarian swelling, ascites accumulation and other complications.
In the process of IVF, operations such as egg taking, fertilization and embryo transfer are needed, which may cause complications such as infection and bleeding. Especially in the process of egg retrieval, instruments may stimulate the uterine or ovarian blood vessels, leading to different degrees of bleeding risk.
There is no significant difference in pregnancy risk between IVF and natural pregnancy, but there are still risks of early pregnancy abortion, abnormal embryo implantation, pregnancy hypertension, pregnancy diabetes and other complications.
Psychological risk
IVF is a promising attempt for couples, but the uncertainty of long-term treatment process and results may bring psychological pressure and anxiety to couples. Every cycle failure is a heavy blow, increasing the psychological burden of couples. Especially for some long-term infertile couples, depression and emotional instability may result from repeated failures.
IVF technology involves sensitive issues such as family composition and parent-child relationship. Some couples may have psychological confusion and resistance due to concerns about genetic diseases and entanglement in gene selection.
It is very important for the IVF professional team to pay attention to and support the couple's psychological conditions to help them alleviate anxiety and stress.
economic risks
IVF technology is a high medical cost, including drug costs, examination costs, surgery costs, etc. As IVF may require multiple attempts to succeed, couples are under great financial pressure.
In addition to medical expenses, IVF technology also requires couples to invest a lot of time and energy, such as frequent medical treatment, drug use and monitoring, which also brings many problems to couples' work and life.
Therefore, for couples with limited economic conditions, IVF technology may be an economic burden.
Ethical risk
IVF technology involves ethical issues such as embryo selection and gene screening. Couples may face difficult decisions about whether to conduct embryonic genetic screening and how to select embryos.
In addition, the emergence of IVF technology has also triggered some ethical disputes, involving ethical issues such as the origin of life, the use of embryos and artificial reproduction. Therefore, in the development and application of IVF technology, ethical norms and balance should be considered.
To sum up, although the IVF technology of Kunming Kunhua Hospital can help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams, it also faces physiological, psychological, economic and ethical risks. Therefore, before attempting IVF technology, couples need to fully understand the relevant risks and make prudent decisions based on their personal circumstances.
