Effects of IVF on the body
As a kind of assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology has realized the wish of many couples who want to have children by all means. However, some factors in the process of IVF may have a certain impact on women's bodies. The effects of IVF on the body are described in detail in the following four aspects.
1. Physical and psychological pressure
In the process of IVF, women need to inject ovulation guidance agent into their bodies many times, which may lead to dramatic changes in hormone levels. The fluctuation of these hormones may have an impact on women's emotions, leading to tension, anxiety, mood fluctuations and other situations. In addition, the whole process involves many hospital examinations, surgical operations, etc., which is a physical and psychological challenge for women. Therefore, the physiological and psychological pressure in the process of IVF can not be ignored.
However, these pressures can be alleviated through the support of doctors and professional teams, as well as communication with family and friends. In addition, learning methods to deal with stress and psychological counseling are also effective measures.
2. Complications during treatment
In the process of IVF, some complications during treatment may occur, which may have a certain impact on women's health.
First, one complication that can occur is the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). OHSS is a symptom caused by over stimulation of ovary by using ovulation guidance agent, including swelling, vomiting and abdominal pain. In addition, some women may have injection site infections or allergic reactions. These complications may require further treatment and care, which will have a certain impact on the recovery and health of the body.
However, by receiving IVF treatment in regular hospitals and working closely with doctors, complications and negative effects on the body can be reduced.
3. Risks during pregnancy
After IVF pregnancy, pregnant women may face some risks related to IVF technology.
On the one hand, women who conceive through IVF technology may face a higher risk of multiple pregnancy than those who conceive naturally. Multiple pregnancy may lead to higher abortion rate and risk of preterm birth, and increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery of the mother and fetus.
On the other hand, since babies are bred in vitro, there may be risks of some diseases and malformations before birth. These risks require multiple examinations during pregnancy and follow the doctor's advice and guidance.
4. Long term impact
For women with IVF, there may be some long-term effects.
First, some studies suggest that IVF technology may increase women's risk of endometriosis and breast cancer. However, the conclusions of these studies are still inconsistent, and further studies are still needed to confirm them.
Secondly, IVF women may face a higher neonatal mortality rate and the risk of children suffering from diseases. Some studies have shown that children born with IVF may be more likely to suffer from some diseases, including heart disease, autism, etc. than children who are naturally pregnant. However, these risks are relatively low and most IVF babies are healthy.
conclusion
The effects of IVF on the body are complex and diverse. Although the process may face physiological and psychological pressure, complications in the treatment process, risks in pregnancy and some long-term effects, most women can successfully realize their hopes of IVF by receiving professional guidance and support from doctors, as well as active psychological adjustment, while also ensuring their own health and baby safety. However, in order to reduce the risk, women should fully understand the risks and consequences associated with IVF technology before choosing it, and receive professional treatment in formal hospitals.
