Effects of IVF on the body
IVF is a kind of fertility mode in which the fertilized eggs are cultured in vitro and then implanted into the mother's uterus through assisted reproductive technology. This method has been widely used in the progress of medicine and social changes. However, what are the effects of IVF conditioning on the body? This article will elaborate from four aspects of physiology, psychology, lifestyle and family relations.
1、 Physiological effects
The physiological effects of IVF conditioning on the body are mainly reflected in women and infants.
First, for women, hormone drugs used in IVF may cause a series of side effects, such as emotional fluctuations, swelling and breast discomfort caused by excessive hormone. In addition, egg retrieval and embryo transfer may cause local pain, bleeding, infection and other risks.
Secondly, for infants, the birth risk of IVF is relatively high. Research shows that the preterm birth rate and low birth weight rate of IVF are higher, which is related to multiple embryo implantation or poor embryo culture conditions during embryo transfer. In addition, IVF babies may have risks of heart disease, nervous system abnormalities and congenital diseases after birth.
However, with the continuous progress of medical technology and the accumulation of professional experience, these physiological effects have been effectively controlled and reduced.
2、 Psychological influence
The psychological impact of IVF conditioning on the body is mainly reflected in the psychological state of both husband and wife and the subsequent process of baby rearing.
Both husband and wife experienced many psychological pressures in the process of IVF, including cost, success rate and public opinion. This may lead to emotional fluctuations, anxiety, depression and other psychological problems. In addition, for couples who have failed to conceive successfully for a long time, they may feel remorse, helplessness and loss.
As for the process of baby rearing after the birth of IVF, the couple may face different challenges from natural pregnancy. For example, they may have to face problems such as high expectations of babies, excessive parenting pressure and fear of isolation. Therefore, appropriate psychological support and counseling are essential for the mental health of both spouses.
3、 Lifestyle impact
The influence of IVF conditioning on the body's lifestyle is mainly reflected in diet, exercise and medicine.
First, the diet during IVF is very important for pregnancy and embryonic development. Both husband and wife need to maintain a balanced diet to improve the success rate of pregnancy, and eat enough nutrients during pregnancy to promote the healthy development of the fetus.
Secondly, proper exercise is also very important for IVF conditioning. Moderate exercise can regulate the endocrine system, promote blood circulation and enhance the body's immunity. However, excessive exercise may have adverse effects on pregnancy, so reasonable arrangements should be made according to personal circumstances.
Finally, some drugs need to be used during IVF to adjust hormone levels and promote pregnancy. Both husband and wife need to follow the doctor's instructions and take medicine on time, and at the same time, they should avoid taking drugs that are harmful to pregnancy.
4、 Family relationship impact
The influence of IVF conditioning on the family relationship of the body is mainly reflected in the relationship between husband and wife, parent-child relationship and family support.
Various pressures during IVF may affect the relationship between husband and wife. Lack of communication, mutual understanding and support may lead to contradictions and conflicts between husband and wife. Therefore, both husband and wife need to support each other, face problems together, strengthen communication and seek marriage counseling in a timely manner.
The birth of test tube babies may have special effects on parent-child relationship. Couples may fall into a state of over expectation, over protection and anxiety about their babies. Infants may face the problem of identification with their biological parents and genetic factors during their growth. Therefore, the establishment of a positive and healthy family relationship and timely psychological counseling are crucial for the development of infants and families.
Summary
The effects of IVF conditioning on the body are mainly manifested in the aspects of physiology, psychology, lifestyle and family relations. Although there are some possible side effects and risks during IVF, these effects have been effectively controlled with the continuous progress of medical technology and the accumulation of professional experience. Both husband and wife should strengthen psychological consultation and support, develop a healthy lifestyle, establish a good family relationship, and receive follow-up support and education.
