What are the risks of Tongji IVF?
Test tube baby technology is an important fertility assistant technology in modern medicine, especially suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, although this technology has a high success rate, it also has certain risks. The risks of Tongji IVF will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Physiological risk
The process of IVF requires severe hormone therapy for women to promote ovarian ovulation and collect mature eggs. These hormone treatments may lead to side effects, such as headache, nausea, breast pain, etc. In addition, in the process of egg collection, there is a risk of ovarian stimulation syndrome, leading to ovarian swelling, abdominal distention, abdominal pain and other discomfort.
In addition, the process of IVF requires multiple endometrial culture and embryo transfer, which will also bring some physiological risks. For example, endometrial culture may lead to endometritis, and embryo transfer may lead to endometrial shedding and bleeding.
In general, the physiological risk of IVF is relatively small, but patients still need to be treated under the guidance of doctors to reduce complications and discomfort.
2. Psychological risk
IVF is a huge psychological pressure on both husband and wife. First, for women, not being able to conceive in a natural way may bring them inferiority and anxiety. Secondly, the success rate of IVF is not 100%, and couples need to face possible failure, which is a heavy blow to them.
In addition, the IVF process may require multiple attempts, which will increase the financial burden and time pressure of couples. The long treatment process may make couples feel tired and disappointed.
Therefore, it is suggested that couples should be fully prepared for psychological and emotional adjustment before receiving IVF treatment, and seek professional support such as psychological counseling to help them get through this difficult period.
3. Genetic risk
IVF technology can reduce the birth of chromosomal abnormalities by screening for chromosomal abnormalities in embryos. However, this technology cannot completely eliminate the risk of babies suffering from genetic diseases.
IVF babies may carry their parents' genetic defects and pass them on to the next generation. This genetic disease may include some genetic diseases, diseases caused by gene mutation, etc. Therefore, for couples with family genetic diseases, it is recommended to conduct genetic counseling before IVF and decide whether to conduct genetic screening.
4. Pregnancy risks
Many hormone treatments and surgical procedures during IVF may have certain effects on pregnant women. For example, hormone therapy may increase the risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy. In addition, complications such as endometrial shedding and cervical relaxation may occur after embryo transfer.
In addition, IVF may increase the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy brings higher risks to both pregnant women and fetuses, such as premature delivery, placental dysfunction, etc.
Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women who have succeeded in IVF should have regular prenatal examination and consultation, and maintain good living habits to reduce the risk of pregnancy.
Summary
Although IVF technology has brought hope to couples who cannot conceive in a natural way, there are still some physiological, psychological, genetic and pregnancy risks.
Before receiving IVF treatment, couples should fully understand these risks and conduct treatment under the guidance of doctors. At the same time, in the face of psychological pressure, consultation with professionals, as well as necessary genetic screening and pregnancy monitoring, can help couples reduce risks and achieve fertility aspirations.
