How to reduce the risk of IVF twins?
IVF twins are twins that increase the probability of pregnancy by implanting multiple embryos into the uterus during IVF assisted reproduction, thus leading to the emergence of twins. Although twins bring joy to the family, there are also some risks, such as premature delivery, low weight, etc. In order to reduce the risk of IVF twins, we can consider and adjust from the following aspects.
1. Quantity and quality of embryos
In the process of IVF, the selection of the quantity and quality of embryos implanted plays a vital role in the risk of twins. Normally, doctors will determine the number of embryos implanted according to the patient's age, illness and other factors. However, too many implants often increase the risk of twins. Therefore, when determining the number of implantation, we should try to avoid the implantation of too many embryos.
In addition, the quality of embryos is also a key factor affecting the risk of IVF twins. Choosing high-quality embryos for implantation can reduce the risk of twins. At present, many hospitals and IVF centers provide embryo selection technology to reduce the risk of twins by screening high-quality embryos.
2. Adjustment of drug treatment
Hormones and other drugs are often used in IVF to help regulate the menstrual cycle of patients and promote the development of follicles. However, the use of these drugs is associated with the risk of twins. Some studies have shown that patients who use ovulation promoting drugs have a higher probability of twins after pregnancy.
Therefore, in the course of drug treatment, doctors can adjust the drug dose according to the specific situation of patients to reduce the risk of twins. At the same time, some IVF programs that do not use ovulation promoting drugs, such as natural cycle IVF, can also be selected to reduce the incidence of twins.
3. Twin pregnancy monitoring and management
For the risk of IVF twins, proper monitoring and management can effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse results. During pregnancy, doctors should pay close attention to the development of twins, conduct regular ultrasound and other related examinations, and monitor the maternal blood pressure, blood sugar and other indicators.
In addition, for high-risk twin pregnancy patients, some additional measures can be taken, such as properly increasing the frequency of prenatal examination, conducting fetal development assessment in advance, and providing related nutritional support. These measures are helpful for early detection and prevention of twin related complications.
4. Adjustment of lifestyle
In addition to the above medical measures, the adjustment of personal lifestyle also has a certain impact on the risk of IVF twins. Reasonable diet, increased exercise and avoidance of tension and stress can all play a protective role.
In addition, communication with doctors and nutritionists is also very important. They can provide personalized suggestions according to the specific situation of the patient to help them adjust their lifestyle to reduce the risk of IVF twins.
summary
To sum up, reducing the risk of IVF twins depends on the comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. In the selection of embryo quantity and quality, reducing the number of embryos implanted and selecting high-quality embryos are effective methods. In the course of drug treatment, doctors can adjust the drug dose or choose other programs according to the patient's situation. For twin pregnancy, proper monitoring and management can reduce the occurrence of adverse results. In addition, lifestyle adjustment also has a certain impact on the risk of twins. The above measures can effectively reduce the risk of IVF twins.
