Possible Causes of Abdominal Pain in IVF Infants
IVF is a kind of baby bred in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization technology. Due to its special embryonic development process, IVF may have abdominal pain. The possible causes of stomachache in IVF will be described in detail from the aspects of internal environment, eating habits, digestive system problems and infection.
Internal environment
The internal environment of IVF babies may affect their digestive system functions, which may lead to abdominal pain. First of all, pregnant women who raise test tube babies may receive some hormone therapy to improve the success rate. These hormones may have a certain impact on the gastrointestinal function of test tube babies. Secondly, the cultivation process of test tube babies in the laboratory may also interfere with their intestinal flora, and the flora disorder may cause stomach pain.
In addition, IVF babies may need to be hospitalized for observation and receive a series of drug treatments after birth. These drugs may have a negative impact on the digestive system of IVF babies, leading to abdominal pain. For example, the use of antibiotics may disrupt the intestinal microbiota balance of test tube infants, which may cause abdominal pain.
eating habits
The eating habits of IVF may be related to stomachache. First of all, due to technical reasons, IVF babies may have difficulty in sucking, leading to poor feeding. In addition, some IVF infants may receive special diets, such as breast milk substitutes or specific formulas, which may have a negative impact on the gastrointestinal function of IVF infants.
In addition, some test tube babies may need parenteral nutrition support due to premature delivery or low birth weight, which may interfere with their intestinal function and cause abdominal pain.
Digestive system problems
In vitro babies may have stomach pain due to digestive system problems. First of all, test tube babies may suffer from colic, which is a disease of abnormal intestinal peristalsis and can cause severe abdominal pain. Secondly, the test tube baby may have gastroesophageal reflux, which will lead to gastric acid reflux to the esophagus, causing pain and discomfort.
In addition, IVF babies may have abdominal pain due to gallbladder problems or pancreatic diseases. Gallbladder problems can lead to cholesterol deposition in the gallbladder, causing severe abdominal pain. Pancreatic disease may lead to pancreatitis and upper abdominal pain.
Infected
In vitro babies may have stomach pain due to infection. IVF's immune system may be relatively weak and vulnerable to infection. Infection can cause intestinal diseases. For example, bacterial or viral infection can cause enteritis, leading to stomachache and diarrhea.
Although stomachache is one of the more common conditions in IVF, the specific reasons may vary from individual baby to individual baby. If the test tube baby has stomach pain, consult the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
summary
The possible causes of IVF babies' stomachache include internal environment, eating habits, digestive system problems and infection. The special conditions and physical conditions of IVF babies may lead to their sensitivity to stomach pain. Understanding these possible reasons can help parents and doctors better treat and deal with the problem of stomachache in IVF, and ensure the healthy growth of IVF.
