Causes of posterior ascites in test tube infants
IVF refers to the successful pregnancy of women by implanting the fertilized eggs into the uterus after in vitro fertilization through assisted reproductive technology. However, there may be some complications during IVF, including ascites. Ascites refers to the liquid accumulated in the abdominal cavity, which may cause discomfort to the mother of test tube babies, and even cause other complications.
There are many causes of ascites after IVF, including endometriosis, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), implantation failure of fertilized eggs, infection, etc. These factors may lead to the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity and the formation of ascites.
First, endometriosis is a common cause of ascites after IVF. Endometriosis refers to the growth of endometrial cells in other parts of the uterus, such as the ovary, fallopian tube, etc. These ectopic endometrial tissues will also bleed during the menstrual period, leading to the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity.
Secondly, OHSS is one of the common complications of IVF and the common cause of ascites. OHSS is ovarian swelling and fluid accumulation caused by excessive hormone treatment. In this case, the ovary will release a large amount of fluid, causing the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, leading to the formation of ascites.
In addition, the failure of fertilized egg implantation may also lead to ascites after IVF. When the fertilized egg cannot be successfully implanted in the uterus, it may cause abnormal reactions in the ovary or fallopian tube, leading to the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity.
Symptoms and diagnosis of posterior ascites in test tube infants
The symptoms of ascites after IVF may include abdominal pain, abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, etc. Sometimes, ascites may not have obvious symptoms, and further examination by a doctor is needed to diagnose it.
The diagnosis of ascites after test tube babies can be carried out by the following methods:
1. Abdominal ultrasound examination: The fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity can be observed visually through ultrasound technology to determine whether there is ascites.
2. Extract ascites for test: doctors may extract a certain amount of ascites for test by puncturing the abdominal cavity to determine the composition of ascites and further determine the cause.
3. Other auxiliary examinations: When diagnosing ascites after test tube babies, doctors may also carry out other auxiliary examinations, such as blood examination, urine examination, etc., to help determine the cause of the disease.
Treatment of posterior ascites in test tube infants
For the test tube baby's posterior ascites, the treatment methods include medication and surgery.
Drug treatment: For mild test tube baby ascites, doctors may choose to use drugs for treatment. For example, diuretics can help to drain excess fluid from the body and alleviate the symptoms of ascites.
Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment may be required for severe posttest tube baby ascites. The operation is mainly to remove the fluid in the abdominal cavity through laparoscopy to repair the possible causes, such as removal of ectopic endometrium in the uterus.
During the treatment, the doctor also needs to closely observe the mother of the IVF baby, understand the changes of its symptoms, and adjust the treatment plan according to the specific situation.
Natural regression of ascites in test tube infants
The natural regression of ascites after IVF is not common, because its causes are diverse, and in most cases, treatment for the causes is needed to effectively alleviate the symptoms.
However, in some mild cases, ascites may subside naturally after a period of time. This may be because the fluid metabolism in the body gradually returns to normal, leading to the re absorption of fluid in the abdominal cavity.
In general, once the post test tube baby ascites appear, it is still necessary to seek the help of a doctor for treatment. Natural regression may be rare, and timely treatment can help alleviate symptoms and avoid other complications.
Summary
Postnatal ascites in IVF is a common complication, which may be caused by many factors, including endometriosis, OHSS, failure of implantation of fertilized eggs, etc. Ascites after the diagnosis of test tube infants can be confirmed by ultrasound examination, ascites test and other methods. Treatment methods include medication and surgery. Natural regression is rare, so timely treatment is necessary. Through scientific treatment, it can effectively alleviate symptoms and improve the success rate of IVF.
