Possible physical problems caused by IVF

Test tube baby (ART) is a method for many infertile couples to obtain children. Although this technology has made significant breakthroughs in scientific and technological progress and medical development, there are also some potential physical problems. The following will elaborate on four aspects: genetic diseases, premature delivery, low birth weight and physical development.

Genetic disease

IVF may carry the risk of genetic diseases, which is caused by special circumstances of ART technology such as multiple pregnancy, gamete donation or embryo transfer. In multiple pregnancy, many test tube babies may share the same gene, thus increasing the risk of suffering from certain genetic diseases. In the process of gamete donation or embryo transfer, due to the genetic differences between parents and donors, the risk of carrying certain diseases will also increase. Genetic counseling and gene screening can help identify and reduce these risks. In addition, some diseases of IVF may be caused by parents carrying genetic mutation genes, which is especially important when there is a family history of genetic diseases. For these cases, screening and identification can be carried out before embryo transfer through gene screening, embryonic cytogenetic diagnosis and other technologies to reduce the risk of children's disease.

premature delivery

IVF babies are more likely to suffer from premature birth. This is because in order to improve the success rate of ART technology, doctors often implant multiple embryos in women. Multiple pregnancy increases the risk of premature delivery, which may lead to many health problems. Premature infants may face a series of challenges, such as respiratory problems, heart problems, digestive system problems and nervous system dysplasia. In order to reduce the risk of premature delivery, doctors usually choose a small number of embryos for implantation and development to ensure a good pregnancy and healthy development of embryos in the uterus.

low birth weight

IVF babies are usually born with low birth weight. This may be related to multiple pregnancy, premature delivery or maternal health. Low birth weight can lead to poor growth, dyspnea, low immune function and neurodevelopmental problems after birth. In order to reduce the risk of low birth weight, doctors may screen embryos and select the healthiest one for implantation, so as to ensure that the baby is fully nourished and developed in the womb.

Physical development

The physical development of IVF may be affected by many factors. First, due to technical limitations, ART may cause some embryos to develop poorly in vitro, so there may be physical development problems when implanted into the uterus. Secondly, the health of the mother may also affect the growth and development of the embryo, which requires doctors to conduct a comprehensive physical examination and evaluation of the mother. In addition, IVF babies may need special rehabilitation and medical care after birth to help them develop physically. In summary, IVF may face genetic diseases, premature delivery, low birth weight and physical development problems. However, with the progress of medical technology and the efforts of medical experts, many potential risks have been significantly reduced. Comprehensive health assessment, genetic counseling and screening of pregnant women and children can help reduce these risks and ensure that IVF babies can come to the world in a healthy way.
