What side effects does the ovulation promoting needle of test tube baby have?
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can promote female ovary ovulation and egg retrieval, fertilize eggs and sperm in vitro and cultivate them into embryos, and finally implant the embryos into the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy. In this process, ovulation stimulating needle is an important auxiliary means, which can help women release more eggs. However, the ovulation stimulating needle is not completely free of side effects. Next, we will elaborate on the side effects of ovulation stimulating needle from different aspects.
1. Ovulation promoting needle may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a common side effect of ovulation stimulating needles. When women use ovulation promoting needles to promote ovarian ovulation, it may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation, excessive number of follicles, and excessive accumulation of fluid in follicles, resulting in ovarian enlargement and discomfort. Mild OHSS symptoms include mild abdominal distension, breast discomfort and abdominal pain. However, in serious cases, OHSS may lead to ascites accumulation, vomiting, dyspnea, abdominal pain and other serious symptoms, which need hospital treatment.
The risk factors of OHSS include age, weight, number of follicles and individual reaction. In order to reduce the risk of OHSS, doctors usually adjust the dose of ovulation stimulating needle according to the patient's condition, and closely monitor the ultrasound and blood hormone levels.
2. The ovulation stimulating needle may cause pain and discomfort at the injection site
Ovulation stimulating needles are often given by subcutaneous injection. Pain, redness, swelling, tingling and other uncomfortable symptoms may appear at the injection site. These symptoms usually relieve themselves within a few days after injection, but sometimes auxiliary measures such as infusion may be required to alleviate the symptoms.
In order to reduce the discomfort of the injection site, the appropriate injection site can be determined through skin test to avoid injection to the skin area with disease, injury or inflammation. In addition, correct injection techniques and angles can also reduce some discomfort.
3. Ovulation promoting needle may cause emotional fluctuation and stress
The treatment cycle of IVF is often the peak period of emotion and stress. As one of the key links, ovulation stimulating needle may have an impact on patients' mood and mental state.
On the one hand, due to changes in hormone levels, patients may have emotional fluctuations, irritability, insomnia and other psychological symptoms. At this time, patients can seek psychological counseling or support to learn stress management and emotional management skills.
On the other hand, expectations and pressures on IVF therapy itself may also have a negative impact on patients. Patients may feel anxiety, worry and psychological pressure. In this case, it is also very important to communicate with family members and doctors and seek necessary support and understanding.
4. The ovulation stimulating needle may cause other adverse reactions
In addition to the above side effects, ovulation promoting needles may also cause other adverse reactions. These adverse reactions vary from individual to individual, including but not limited to headache, nausea, diarrhea, injection site infection, etc. In case of discomfort, the patient should inform the doctor in time for help and further diagnosis.
Summary
As an important means to promote ovarian ovulation, IVF ovulation stimulating needle plays an important role in helping patients to successfully conceive, but it also has some side effects. The main side effects include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, injection site pain, mood fluctuations and other adverse reactions. When patients receive ovulation induction acupuncture treatment, they should pay attention to monitoring their own physical reactions, pay close attention to the discomfort symptoms, and timely communicate with the doctor and seek help.
