CN risks of IVF
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology. Although it is very effective in solving some infertility problems, it also has certain risks and complications. The risks of IVF will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Physiological risk
IVF technology requires the use of hormone drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs to increase the probability of pregnancy. However, these hormone drugs may cause adverse reactions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, etc. In addition, the process of ovum retrieval may also lead to the risk of ovarian damage or infection.
In order to avoid physiological risks, patients should receive a comprehensive physical examination before IVF to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for this technology. When conducting hormone therapy, doctors should closely monitor patients' reactions to ensure the correctness of drug use. In addition, strict disinfection must be carried out during egg retrieval to reduce the risk of infection.
2. Psychological risk
The process of IVF is a long-term and complex process, which requires more psychological preparation and patience than natural pregnancy. Unsuccessful attempts and various medical procedures may cause psychological pressure and anxiety to patients.
In order to reduce psychological risk, patients should actively seek support from psychological counseling. Communication with partners, family and friends is also an important way to relieve stress. In addition, doctors and hospitals should provide good psychological support services to help patients cope with emotional fluctuations and anxiety.
3. Genetic risk
IVF technology may lead to the birth of children with chromosomal abnormalities. This is because there is a risk of screening errors in the process of selecting and transferring embryos.
In order to reduce genetic risk, doctors should follow strict screening and evaluation criteria when selecting embryos. Genetic counselors should participate and provide professional advice to ensure that the selected embryos have a low risk of abnormalities. In addition, genetic evaluation such as gene testing before transplantation can further reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
4. Social Risks
Due to the particularity of IVF technology, many social and moral issues may cause concern and controversy. Under different religious and cultural backgrounds, people have different views and acceptance of IVF.
In order to reduce social risks, hospitals and doctors should uphold the principle of patient privacy and respect, and protect the privacy and legitimate rights and interests of patients. In addition, strengthening public education and improving the understanding and recognition of IVF technology will help reduce social disputes.
