What are the risks of Hangzhou IVF?
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, IVF is not entirely risk-free. In Hangzhou, as one of China's powerful medical centers, while providing high-quality IVF services, there are also some potential risks. The following will elaborate on the possible risks of Hangzhou IVF from different aspects.
1. Physical and psychological risks
The drug treatment and hormone injection used in IVF may cause some physiological side effects. For example, some patients may experience swelling, pain and abdominal distension. In addition, the IVF process requires egg retrieval and embryo transfer, which may lead to the risk of hypotension, infection and minor bleeding. In addition, pregnancy may also be accompanied by pregnancy related diseases such as pregnancy induced hypertension and pre eclampsia.
In addition, psychological risk is also a problem that needs attention. IVF is a hard journey for couples, which may be accompanied by anxiety, stress and emotional fluctuations. Moreover, IVF cannot guarantee success. If the treatment fails, the couple may suffer from loss and depression.
2. Risk of multiple births
In the process of IVF, sometimes in order to increase the success rate, multiple embryos will be transplanted into the uterus. However, multiple pregnancy will bring some risks. Multiple pregnancy increases the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight, which may affect the health and survival of infants. At the same time, for mothers, multiple pregnancy will also increase the risk of pregnancy complications and delivery complications.
3. Gene related risks
IVF technology also involves genetic testing of embryos. Through genetic testing, some genetic diseases can be screened to avoid transferring embryos at risk of genetic diseases to the uterus. However, this involves genetic testing of embryos, which may cause some ethical and moral problems.
In addition, genetic disease screening cannot completely eliminate the risk of postnatal illness. Some diseases may not be detected by genetic testing, or they may not appear during embryonic development. Therefore, even if embryos without genetic disease risk are screened by IVF technology, infants may still suffer from other diseases after birth.
4. Social, economic and ethical risks
IVF technology usually requires high costs in hospitals in Hangzhou and other large cities, which may prevent couples who cannot afford high costs from enjoying this technology. In addition, due to the complexity and time-consuming nature of the IVF process, couples may have to face a long treatment and waiting process.
At the same time, IVF technology also brings some ethical problems. For example, in the process of embryo transfer, multiple embryo selection may occur. In addition, the application of IVF technology has also enabled older women to delay childbearing, but it has also triggered some ethical and social problems about late childbearing.
summary
As one of the powerful medical centers in China, Hangzhou provides high-quality IVF services. However, IVF is not without risks. From the aspects of physiology and psychology, multiple births, gene correlation, society, economy and ethics, there are various potential risks in the process of IVF. Therefore, when choosing IVF technology, couples need to fully understand and weigh these risks, and have in-depth discussions and consultations with doctors in order to make wise decisions.
