What are the sequelae of IVF in Shanghai?
IVF technology has become one of the important means for infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams. In Shanghai, some well-known hospitals also provide IVF technology services. Although IVF technology can successfully solve the problem of infertility in many cases, there are still some sequelae in the implementation process. This article will elaborate on the sequelae of Shanghai IVF from four aspects: physiology, psychology, economy and society.
Physiological sequelae
The success rate of IVF is not 100%, and some adverse physiological sequelae may occur. First, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most common sequelae. This is due to ovarian hyperstimulation caused by hormone therapy, which leads to ovarian swelling, ascites accumulation and other symptoms. In addition, IVF may also increase the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight and stunting. In the long run, some studies have shown that IVF may increase the risk of certain diseases, such as fetal cardiovascular disease, psychological development problems, etc.
Despite these sequelae, most IVF babies can still grow up healthily without obvious physiological problems. Doctors will conduct comprehensive assessment and monitoring to minimize these risks.
Psychological sequelae
The process of IVF technology has a certain impact on the couple's psychology. First, hormonal changes brought about by hormone therapy may lead to emotional fluctuations, anxiety, depression and other problems. Secondly, the success rate of IVF is not high. Repeated failures may bring disappointment and depression to couples, and even have a negative impact on their own sense of value and marital relationship.
Psychological guidance is a very important part. Some hospitals in Shanghai provide full process psychological support and counseling services to help couples relieve stress and increase understanding and support for treatment.
Economic sequelae
The high cost of IVF technology is also one of the sequelae. In Shanghai, the cost of a test tube baby may exceed hundreds of thousands of yuan. For couples with limited economic conditions, this may be a huge burden. Moreover, since IVF is not a one-time success, multiple attempts may increase economic pressure.
In order to reduce the financial burden, some hospitals in Shanghai have introduced policies such as installment payment, medical insurance reimbursement and donation opportunities to help couples achieve their aspirations.
Social sequelae
IVF technology also has some social consequences. First of all, the birth of IVF may cause some moral and ethical disputes, especially in terms of embryo selection and genetic screening. Secondly, the promotion of IVF technology has also exacerbated the global inequality problem, because the technology can only be used by couples with better economic conditions.
In order to solve these problems, some hospitals in Shanghai have strengthened relevant regulations and ethical guidance to ensure the rational use of technology and social fairness.
summary
The sequelae of Shanghai IVF mainly include physiological, psychological, economic and social aspects. Although IVF technology has made remarkable achievements in solving the problem of infertility, there are still some risks and sequelae in the process. In response to these problems, some hospitals in Shanghai provide comprehensive support and solutions to help couples reduce risks, increase the success rate, and ensure the rational application of technology. Despite some sequelae, IVF is still an important technology that can help infertile couples realize their dreams.
