The Influence of IVF on Couple Relationship
Test tube baby is the result of modern medical technology, which can help many infertile couples realize their desire to have children. However, with the use of IVF technology, some studies have shown that this technology may have a certain impact on the relationship between husband and wife. This article will discuss the influence of IVF on husband and wife from economic, psychological, social and physiological aspects.
Economic aspects
The cost of IVF technology is expensive, and the couple's economic situation will produce certain pressure. It not only needs to pay for the hospital's operation costs and drug costs, but also needs to bear the possible multiple IVF processes. These economic pressures may lead to tension and disputes between couples.
In addition, couples often need to invest a lot of time and energy in the process of receiving IVF treatment. Men need to provide sperm samples, and women need to receive assisted reproductive treatment. This will affect the husband and wife's work progress and work pressure, which may lead to economic imbalance and increased pressure on both sides.
In addition, although some countries provide health insurance for IVF technology, many countries still have no coverage, and couples need to bear all the costs themselves. This increases the financial burden and may have an impact on the couple's daily life and future plans.
Psychological aspects
In the process of IVF, couples may face enormous psychological pressure. They longed for their children, but because of infertility, they could not achieve this desire through natural pregnancy. Long time treatment and waiting may make them lose patience and hope.
In addition, the success rate of IVF technology is not 100%, and some couples may need to try many times to get pregnant successfully. Failure and repeated attempts will bring psychological burden and pressure to couples, and even psychological problems of depression and anxiety.
In addition, IVF technology needs the help of doctors and hospitals. Some couples may quarrel and conflict because of different opinions on the choice of hospital and treatment plan.
Social aspects
IVF is a technology with ethical, moral and social concerns. Although the IVF technology has become more and more common with the progress of science and technology, there are still negative views and discrimination against this technology in some societies. This may have a negative impact on the relationship between husband and wife, making them feel excluded and incomprehensible by the society.
In addition, the social recognition and legal provisions of IVF technology differ in different countries and regions, which may affect the choice and actions of couples. Couples may have to face social public opinion and legal restrictions, which will exert certain pressure and influence on their psychology and actions.
Physiological aspects
IVF technology may lead to some potential physiological risks and complications. Assisted reproductive technology may increase the risk of illness for couples, such as premature delivery and multiple pregnancies. These physiological risks may bring some troubles to the couple's health and daily life, and affect their communication and interaction.
In addition, IVF technology requires drugs to promote the maturation and removal of eggs, which may also cause some side effects. These drugs may have effects on women's bodies, such as emotional fluctuations and physical discomfort. This may affect the relationship and interaction between husband and wife.
Summary
The influence of IVF technology on husband wife relationship mainly focuses on four aspects: economy, psychology, society and physiology. Economic pressure, psychological burden, social pressure and physical risks may have an impact on the relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, when receiving IVF treatment, couples need to support and understand each other, actively face difficulties and go through the process together.
