Definition and principle of IVF

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET). This technology helps couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their dream of procreation by fertilizing eggs and sperm in vitro and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the uterus. Among them, Jiangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital is one of the famous IVF hospitals in Jiangxi Province.

IVF is a multi-step process. First, women receive hormone therapy to promote the simultaneous development of multiple ovarian follicles. Then, under anesthesia, multiple eggs are obtained by puncturing the ovary. The male provides sperm samples and then fertilizes them with eggs in an in vitro culture dish. The successfully fertilized egg will develop into an embryo in a culture dish. Finally, the doctor will select the best quality embryo, transfer it to the female uterus, and let the embryo continue to develop.

Side effects of IVF

As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF also has some side effects:

1. Side effects related to hormone therapy: Hormone treatment can cause abnormal changes in hormone levels, which may lead to mood fluctuations, headache, breast pain and other symptoms.

2. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): In the process of hormone therapy, sometimes the ovary will over stimulate the hormone, leading to ovarian enlargement, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms. Severe cases may cause nausea, vomiting, chest tightness and other symptoms, and require hospitalization.

3. Increased risk of multiple pregnancy: In the process of IVF, in order to improve the pregnancy rate, multiple embryos are often transferred into the uterus. This can easily lead to multiple pregnancies and increase the risk of premature delivery, abortion, etc.

4. Psychological pressure: The IVF process focuses on treatment for a long time, and couples may experience psychological pressure and tension. If treatment fails, it may lead to depression and disappointment.

Effects of IVF on the body

IVF has certain effects on women's bodies:

1. Anesthesia risk: In order to obtain eggs, women need to be punctured and anesthetized. Anesthesia itself has certain risks, which may cause nausea, vomiting, allergic reactions, etc.

2. Intrauterine embryo implantation: Surgery to transfer embryos into the uterus may cause mild abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, but usually does not have a significant impact on the body.

3. Risk of pregnancy complications: The success of IVF does not mean that pregnancy is not risky. Pregnancy may still face the risk of complications such as abortion, premature delivery, hypertension during pregnancy, etc.

conclusion

As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF can help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, it also has some side effects and effects on the body. Hormone treatment may lead to emotional fluctuations and abnormal hormone levels, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may cause physical discomfort, and multiple pregnancy increases some risks. Surgery and pregnancy itself have certain risks. Therefore, before deciding to carry out IVF, both husband and wife should fully understand its side effects and effects on the body, accept the doctor's guidance and advice, and make a wise decision.
