Definition and process of IVF in Shenzhen
Test tube baby, also known as assisted reproductive technology (ART), refers to the technology of culturing eggs and sperm into embryos after in vitro or in vivo fertilization, and then implanting the embryos into the female uterus to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve pregnancy. As one of the first tier cities in China, Shenzhen has advanced medical equipment and technology in assisted reproductive technology, which has attracted many couples to seek IVF to achieve their fertility aspirations.
The IVF process in Shenzhen is usually divided into the following steps: first, promote the development of women's ovaries through hormone therapy to produce multiple mature eggs; Then, the eggs and sperm are combined in the laboratory using surgical techniques to cultivate embryos under specific conditions; Then, at an appropriate time, the embryo is transferred into the female uterus; Finally, pregnancy test is carried out to confirm whether the pregnancy is successful.
Side effect 1: body reaction caused by hormone therapy
One of the most common side effects of IVF is the physical reaction caused by hormone therapy. Hormone therapy often includes injection of artificial ovulation promoting drugs and other hormone drugs to stimulate ovarian development. These drugs may cause breast pain, abdominal distention, abdominal pain, headache, nausea, sweating, mood fluctuations and other discomfort, but these symptoms will usually be relieved after treatment.
In addition, hormone therapy may also lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which is characterized by abdominal distention, ascites accumulation, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting and other serious symptoms, and requires immediate medical treatment.
Therefore, before IVF, doctors will understand the patient's physical condition in detail and develop personalized treatment plans to minimize the side effects of hormone therapy.
Side effect 2: embryo transfer failure and pregnancy complications
One side effect of IVF that cannot be ignored is the failure of embryo transfer. Although doctors will try their best to select the embryo with the most development potential for transplantation, there is still a certain probability that the embryo cannot be successfully implanted into the uterus, leading to pregnancy failure.
At the same time, after pregnancy, IVF women also face the risk of complications in normal pregnancy, such as coagulation disorder in early pregnancy, pregnancy induced hypertension, pregnancy induced diabetes, etc. For some women who receive IVF, they may need more frequent prenatal examination and medical care.
Therefore, doctors' consultation and follow-up before and after IVF surgery are very important in order to find and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.
Side effect 3: psychological pressure and economic burden
The process of IVF is often accompanied by great psychological pressure. For couples who cannot conceive naturally, IVF is often an important hope, but during waiting, transplantation and pregnancy, uncertainty and anxiety may lead to emotional fluctuations and depression and other psychological problems.
In addition, IVF may also bring huge economic burden. The cost of assisted reproductive technology is relatively high, including medical examination, surgery costs, drug costs, etc. Moreover, if the first attempt is unsuccessful, couples may need to carry out IVF for many times, increasing the financial burden.
Therefore, before IVF, couples should fully understand the cost and psychological pressure of IVF and seek professional psychological support to mitigate the possible impact.
Side effect 4: social concept and moral problems
As an artificial assisted reproductive technology, IVF has caused a series of social and moral problems. Some people believe that IVF is an interference in natural reproduction, which may cause ethical problems, such as embryo abandonment, reduction of embryo selectivity, etc. However, IVF is also regarded as a symbol of scientific and technological progress and a medical right of choice.
In Shenzhen, major hospitals such as Shenzhen Women and Children's Health Hospital and Shenzhen People's Hospital provide professional IVF services. They will try their best to ensure medical quality and safety. However, when choosing this technology, couples should fully understand its side effects, and fully discuss and consult with family members and doctors.
summary
As a first tier city in China, Shenzhen has made remarkable progress in IVF technology. Although IVF technology can help many couples achieve their reproductive aspirations, it also has side effects. Physical reactions to hormone therapy, embryo transfer failure and pregnancy complications, psychological pressure and economic burden, as well as social and moral problems are common side effects in IVF. Therefore, before choosing IVF, couples should fully understand and consider these side effects, conduct in-depth communication and consultation with doctors, and make wise decisions.
