Effects of IVF on Mother's Body
With the development of IVF technology, many infertile couples have the opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams. In the process of IVF, the mother has experienced many physical changes and medical interventions, which will also have a certain impact on the mother's body.
1、 Hormone changes
During IVF, mothers need hormone therapy to promote ovarian ovulation and produce more eggs. This process may lead to changes in the mother's hormone levels, resulting in some physical discomfort. First of all, during hormone therapy, mothers may experience breast pain, abdominal distension, mild abdominal pain and other discomfort, which is caused by hormone stimulation. Secondly, hormone therapy may lead to mood fluctuations, including anxiety, depression and other uncomfortable emotions. Finally, during hormonal treatment, headache, fatigue and other physical symptoms may also occur.
In general, hormonal changes are one of the most common physical effects on mothers during IVF, but most of these discomfort are temporary and will not have a significant impact on mothers' long-term health.
2、 Surgical risk
The first step of IVF is egg retrieval, which may bring some risks to the mother's body. Egg retrieval usually requires vaginal puncture or laparoscopic surgery, which is minimally invasive surgery, but there are still some risks. Complications such as bleeding, infection and organ damage may occur during the operation, which may lead to mother's discomfort.
In addition, the mother may have abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea and other discomfort after the operation, which is caused by the gas and liquid formed during the operation. Usually, these symptoms will disappear within a few days.
3、 Pregnancy risk
After the success of IVF technology, if the mother is successfully pregnant, there will be some special circumstances related to IVF during pregnancy. First, the pregnancy risk of IVF is relatively high, including early pregnancy abortion, placenta dysfunction, etc. Therefore, the mother needs to pay more attention to protecting the fetus, comply with the doctor's instructions, and receive prenatal examination regularly. Second, the success rate of IVF is relatively low. Mothers may experience multiple failed pregnancies, which may cause some physical and mental burden and pressure. Third, after IVF, mothers may need to take progesterone or other hormone drugs to maintain the stability of pregnancy.
4、 Psychological influence
The treatment and pregnancy cycle during IVF may have a greater impact on the mother's psychology. First of all, mothers may face great pressure from family and society, and there will be greater psychological fluctuations in the success or failure of IVF. Secondly, long-term treatment and pregnancy may cause psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Finally, mothers' expectations and worries about IVF will also affect their psychology.
Under these circumstances, mothers need to communicate with doctors and psychologists in a timely manner, seek professional help and support, and maintain a good psychological state.
conclusion
In the process of IVF, the mother's body will be affected to varying degrees. Hormone changes, surgical risk, pregnancy risk and psychological impact are common influencing factors. However, most of these effects are temporary, and through reasonable treatment and self-regulation, mothers can still get through this difficult process and achieve their own reproductive aspirations.
