Does uterine adhesion affect the pregnancy cycle of IVF?
Uterine cavity adhesion is a common gynecological disease, which can lead to endometrial adhesion, thus affecting the pregnancy cycle and the success rate of test tube babies. This article will elaborate on the relationship between intrauterine adhesions and IVF in terms of endometrial thickness, embryo transfer, pregnancy complications and success rate.
Endometrial thickness
Uterine cavity adhesion will lead to the thinning of endometrium, which will affect the implantation of embryos and the occurrence of pregnancy. Research shows that the pregnancy rate of patients with endometrial thickness less than 7 mm is significantly lower than that of normal people. For patients with intrauterine adhesions, endometrial repair surgery is often required to restore the normal thickness of endometrium and improve the success rate of pregnancy. After surgery, doctors usually monitor the intimal thickness of patients, and conduct drug treatment or secondary surgery according to different conditions.
embryo transfer
Intrauterine adhesions can affect the process of embryo transfer. Due to the serious adhesion of endometrium, it is difficult for the embryo to be successfully implanted during the transfer process. Therefore, for patients with intrauterine adhesions, endometrial lysis or endometrial preparation is usually required before embryo transfer to improve the status of endometrium and increase the implantation rate of embryos. In addition, it is also critical to choose the right time for embryo transfer. Doctors usually determine the best time for embryo transfer by monitoring the hormone level and endometrial status of patients.
Pregnancy complications
Patients with intrauterine adhesions are more likely to have complications during pregnancy. Because of the adhesion of the endometrium, the placenta is easy to be implanted in an abnormal position during pregnancy, leading to placenta previa or poor placenta implantation. These complications will increase the risk of pregnant women and fetuses, and may lead to abortion, premature delivery and other complications. Therefore, patients with intrauterine adhesions need to be closely monitored and treated for pregnancy complications in a timely manner during pregnancy.
Success rate
Uterine adhesion has a significant impact on the success rate of IVF. Because of the thinning of endometrium and the difficulty of embryo implantation, the success rate of IVF in patients with intrauterine adhesions is low. Research shows that the success rate of IVF in patients with intrauterine adhesions has been significantly improved after endometrial repair surgery. However, the success rate will vary depending on the situation of each patient. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with intrauterine adhesions should consult a professional doctor for individualized treatment planning before IVF.
Summary
In conclusion, intrauterine adhesion has a significant impact on the pregnancy cycle of IVF. Uterine cavity adhesion will lead to endometrial thinning, difficulty in embryo transfer, increased pregnancy complications and reduced success rate. However, the success rate of IVF for patients with intrauterine adhesions can be improved through endometrial repair surgery and individualized treatment. Therefore, for patients with intrauterine adhesions, early detection, timely treatment and IVF under the guidance of professional doctors are the key to improving the pregnancy success rate.
