What are the risks of the third generation IVF in Shanghai?
In recent years, IVF technology has been widely used in Shanghai, fulfilling the dream of becoming a parent for many infertile couples. However, IVF is not without risks. In the process of three generations of IVF, there are some potential risks that need careful consideration. This article will elaborate on the risks of three generations of IVF in Shanghai from the aspects of genetic risk, physical health risk, mental health risk and economic risk.
1. Genetic risk
IVF technology includes in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, in which embryo transfer involves egg retrieval, sperm injection and other processes, and there are genetic risks in these processes. First of all, the process of embryo transfer may lead to chromosomal abnormalities, thus increasing the risk of embryo stop development or early abortion. Secondly, problems such as gene mutation and transmission of genetic diseases also exist. In addition, the proportion of multiple pregnancy is high. Multiple pregnancy not only brings risks to the health of mothers and fetuses, but also may lead to premature delivery, low birth weight and other problems.
Although Shanghai hospitals will strictly screen embryos with genetic problems when carrying out IVF technology, genetic risks still exist, and couples need to fully understand and consider these risks when deciding to carry out IVF.
2. Health risks
In the third generation test tube baby technology, women need to inject a lot of hormones during the process of egg retrieval to promote ovarian function and increase the number of eggs laid by the ovary. The use of these hormones may cause a series of health problems, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, ovarian cysts, etc. Although hospitals in Shanghai will control the dose according to individual conditions when using hormones, the health risks still exist.
In addition, surgical procedures in IVF technology, such as egg retrieval and embryo transfer, may also bring some physical risks. Although the hospital facilities and team performing these operations in Shanghai are very professional, we still need to pay attention to possible complications, such as infection, bleeding, etc.
3. Mental health risks
IVF treatment itself is a long road, full of hope and anxiety, which may have a negative impact on the mental health of couples. First of all, because IVF technology is not foolproof, treatment may fail, which will hit and lose couples' psychology. Secondly, in the process of IVF, multiple hospital examinations and treatments are required, especially for women, who may feel tired and stressed, affecting their mental state.
Due to the subjective risk of mental health, Shanghai hospitals generally recommend couples to carry out psychological counseling and support when conducting IVF treatment to help them cope with difficulties and stress.
4. Economic risks
Three generation IVF technology is an expensive medical treatment economically, and couples need to bear huge economic pressure. The costs of IVF include various medical examinations, drug costs, surgery costs, etc., and because the treatment process may require multiple attempts, these costs may be more cumulative. If the treatment fails, the couple will not only face psychological and health setbacks, but also need to bear the huge expenses already spent.
summary
There are genetic risks, physical health risks, mental health risks and economic risks in the treatment of third-generation IVF in Shanghai. Before deciding on IVF treatment, couples should fully communicate with professional doctors to understand and assess the impact of these risks on themselves. At the same time, couples should also seriously consider their own physical and psychological conditions, as well as their economic affordability, and make rational decisions.
