Does Guangzhou IVF have side effects?
As an important means of infertility treatment, IVF technology has been widely used in Guangzhou. However, many people have doubts about whether IVF technology will have side effects. This article will elaborate on IVF technology in Guangzhou, and discuss its possible side effects from different aspects.
1. Physiological side effects
Assisted reproductive technologies used in IVF, such as superovulation, oocyte retrieval, embryo culture, etc., may have some physiological side effects on women.
First, hormone drugs used during superovulation may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This refers to the ovarian over response to hormone stimulation, resulting in ovarian swelling, ascites and pleural effusion accumulation, nausea, abdominal distention and other symptoms. However, this symptom has been effectively controlled under modern technology. Reasonable adjustment of hormone dosage and monitoring of the number of follicles can reduce the incidence.
Second, egg retrieval may lead to some degree of ovarian damage, uterine perforation and other complications. However, the incidence of these complications is very low. Doctors in regular hospitals operate in strict accordance with operating specifications, effectively reducing risks.
Third, embryo transfer may cause mild abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other symptoms, but these symptoms are usually temporary and do not have long-term effects on the body.
2. Psychological side effects
The treatment cycle of IVF is long, which may cause certain psychological pressure and burden for infertile couples.
First, the prolongation of the treatment cycle may lead to anxiety and disappointment of infertile couples. Since IVF is not a success at once, it may need to be tried many times, which puts forward certain requirements for the psychological endurance of both husband and wife.
Secondly, the success rate of infants will also have an impact on the psychology of couples. If repeated attempts fail to conceive, it may lead to emotional fluctuations between the couple, and even psychological problems such as depression. Therefore, in the process of IVF, the psychological health of both spouses needs attention and support.
3. Economic side effects
The high cost of IVF technology may put some pressure on the family economy.
First of all, the treatment costs of IVF include the costs of assisted reproductive technology, drug costs, medical examination costs, etc., and the extension of the treatment cycle may increase the economic burden. Therefore, many couples need to consider economic capacity when choosing IVF technology.
Secondly, for some infertile couples, it may take several attempts to get pregnant successfully, which further increases the economic pressure. Therefore, when choosing IVF technology, both husband and wife need to consider both physical and economic factors.
4. Social side effects
IVF technology also has some controversy and side effects in society.
First of all, some people hold negative views on IVF technology, believing that it involves ethical and moral issues, which may have an impact on traditional family concepts. However, the IVF technology has been regulated by laws and ethics, and its legal use will not have too much negative impact on society.
Secondly, the widespread application of IVF technology may lead to uneven resource allocation and excessive concentration of medical resources. Due to the professionalism and high cost of IVF technology, only a few people can get the treatment of this technology, which has caused some concern about social fairness.
Summary
In conclusion, the IVF technology in Guangzhou has achieved remarkable results in the treatment of infertility. Although IVF technology has some physiological side effects, psychological side effects, economic side effects and social side effects, these side effects can be controlled under the guidance of standard hospitals and professional doctors. For couples who need IVF technology treatment, they should consider the risks and opportunities of treatment comprehensively and make rational decisions.
