Effects of IVF on the body
With the development of science and technology, IVF has become the hope of many infertile couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, IVF will have certain effects on the body, including the side effects of hormone therapy and the need for physical rehabilitation. The effects of IVF on the body will be described in detail from different aspects.
1. Side effects of hormone therapy
In IVF, hormone therapy is often needed to promote follicular development and control ovulation. The side effect of hormone therapy is one of the most common physical effects in IVF.
First, hormone therapy may cause mood swings. Because of the role of hormones, some patients will have emotional instability, anxiety, irritability and other symptoms during hormone treatment, which has a certain impact on the body and psychology.
Secondly, hormone therapy may also cause physical discomfort. Some patients will have breast pain, headache, nausea, abdominal distension and other symptoms during hormone treatment, which will have a certain impact on life and work.
In addition, hormone therapy also has certain risks. Although the purpose of hormone therapy is to promote follicular development, overuse of hormones may lead to potential risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
2. Muscle strength and physical strength decrease
In the process of IVF, patients often need to rest and stay in bed for a long time, which may lead to decreased muscle strength and physical strength.
Prolonged bed rest makes muscles unable to get sufficient exercise and activity, leading to muscle weakness. Some patients may have muscle atrophy and muscle weakness, which may affect the ability to move in daily life.
In addition, a long rest will also lead to physical decline. In the process of IVF, patients may need a lot of mental and emotional support. In addition to the side effects of hormone therapy, the body often feels tired and weak.
Therefore, the physical recovery of IVF babies needs to gradually restore muscle strength and physical strength, and at the same time, pay attention to maintaining proper rest and exercise.
3. Laparoscopic surgery in Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital
During IVF, some patients may need laparoscopic surgery, such as egg retrieval. The Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Fudan University is one of the famous IVF hospitals in China, and its laparoscopic surgery technology has been widely recognized.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, which is performed through a small incision and laparoscopic instruments into the abdominal cavity. Compared with the traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has the advantages of small trauma, fast recovery and low risk of complications.
However, laparoscopic surgery after IVF also requires patients to have some physical rehabilitation. After surgery, patients need to pay attention to the care and recovery of wounds to avoid infection and other complications.
4. The importance of psychological rehabilitation and physical rehabilitation
The influence of IVF on the body is not only physical, but also psychological.
In the process of IVF, patients may experience multiple treatment failures and uncertainties, which pose certain challenges to their mental state. Therefore, psychological rehabilitation is very important. Patients can seek professional psychological guidance and support to help them cope with emotional fluctuations and psychological pressure.
In addition, physical rehabilitation also requires active cooperation and participation of patients. Good living habits, reasonable diet and moderate exercise are all important elements in the process of physical rehabilitation.
Summary
Although IVF has brought fertility hope to infertile couples, it also has certain physical effects. The side effects of hormone therapy may lead to emotional fluctuations and physical discomfort, and a long rest may lead to decreased muscle strength and physical strength. Laparoscopic surgery in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Fudan University provides a minimally invasive surgical option, but patients still need appropriate rehabilitation. In the process of IVF, psychological rehabilitation and physical rehabilitation are equally important, and patients need to actively participate and cooperate.
