What harm does IVF do to mother's body
The development of IVF technology has brought hope to many couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, this technology may bring some harm to the mother's body. In the process of receiving IVF, the mother's body may face a series of risks and discomfort. This article will elaborate on the harm of IVF to mothers from four aspects.
1. Increased physical and psychological pressure
In the process of IVF, the mother needs to receive multiple hormone injections and medical examinations. These processes may bring great physical and psychological pressure, and bring negative effects on the mother's physical health. Hormone injection may cause a series of discomfort, such as headache, nausea, breast pain, etc. In addition, psychological pressure may also lead to anxiety, depression and other psychological diseases.
In addition, IVF babies also need to go to the hospital many times for various examinations and operations, which poses great challenges to the physical and psychological pressure of mothers. The long treatment process may make the mother feel tired and uncomfortable, increasing the physical and psychological burden.
2. Hormone imbalance and weight change
In the process of IVF, mothers need to receive a large number of hormone injections to promote ovarian ovulation and endometrial growth. The massive injection of hormones may lead to hormonal imbalance and a series of physiological changes. Hormone imbalance may lead to emotional fluctuations, skin problems, hair loss and other uncomfortable symptoms.
In addition, during IVF, the mother's weight may change dramatically due to hormone injection and hormone changes in the body. The increase in weight may bring some negative effects on the mother's health, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc.
3. Increased risk of complications
During IVF, mothers may face the risk of some complications. For example, endometriosis is a common complication, which may lead to the growth of endometrium outside the uterus, causing pain and abnormal menstruation. In addition, intrauterine adhesions may also occur, affecting the normal growth of endometrium and embryo implantation.
There are also risks in the process of egg retrieval. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) may be caused by ovum retrieval, and its symptoms include abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, etc. In addition, infection, bleeding and other complications may occur during egg retrieval.
4. Decreased fertility
In the process of IVF, the mother needs to undergo multiple egg retrieval operations, which may have a certain impact on ovarian function. During the process of egg retrieval, the ovary may be damaged, leading to the decline of ovarian function. This may affect the mother's fertility and reduce the possibility of natural pregnancy.
In conclusion, IVF is harmful to the mother's health. Increased physical and psychological pressure, hormonal imbalance and weight change, increased risk of complications and decreased fertility are all possible problems. Therefore, when choosing IVF technology, couples should fully understand the risks and discomfort and make scientific and reasonable decisions.
