What are the side effects and risks of Shantou IVF?

In recent years, with the continuous progress of medical technology, Shantou IVF has become a common assisted reproductive method. The emergence of this technology provides hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, IVF is not without risks. The following will elaborate on the side effects and risks of IVF from several aspects.

1. Drug side effects and over stimulation

In the process of IVF, patients need to receive a series of drug treatments to promote the development of eggs. These drugs may cause some side effects, such as headache, breast pain, mood fluctuations, etc. At the same time, these drugs can stimulate women's ovaries, sometimes leading to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This condition can lead to abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms, and some serious cases may also threaten life.

In addition, the drugs used in IVF may affect the development of embryos and infants. Although current research shows that these effects are small, long-term use and large doses of drugs may increase the risk of some children's health problems, such as premature birth, congenital malformations, etc.

2. Damage and infection of reproductive organs

In the process of IVF, eggs and embryos need to be obtained through operations such as intrauterine egg retrieval. These operations may cause damage to reproductive tract tissues, such as uterine prolapse, ovarian cysts and oviduct obstruction. In addition, test tube babies need to undergo multiple endometrial embryo transfers, which increases the risk of infection, such as endometritis.

3. Risk of multiple pregnancy

In order to improve the success rate of IVF, multiple embryos are usually implanted in the uterus. However, multiple embryo pregnancy will increase the risk of many pregnancy complications, including premature delivery, labor, bleeding and placental abruption, which will bring certain risks to the health of mothers and infants.

At the same time, multi embryo pregnancy will also face a higher rate of abortion and the incidence of congenital defects, which may require the treatment of selective embryo removal or selective fetal reduction, but this will bring psychological and moral problems to patients.

4. Financial burden and psychological pressure

IVF is an expensive medical technology, which requires a lot of human, material and financial resources. For some families, the financial burden may be a big problem. In addition, the test of IVF on couples' psychological status can not be ignored. The long-term treatment process, the uncertainty of the success rate, and the side effects and risks faced may bring tremendous psychological pressure to couples.

Summary

Shantou IVF provides an opportunity for infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams. However, there are also some side effects and risks. During IVF treatment, patients need to understand and fully consider these potential problems, communicate and negotiate with doctors, and choose the most appropriate treatment scheme to minimize risks and improve the success rate.
