Why do IVF babies bleed after one month?
IVF baby, namely IVF baby, refers to the baby who completes the fertilization process of sperm and egg in the laboratory through artificial assisted reproduction technology, and then implants the fertilized egg into the mother's uterus to continue its development and birth. Although IVF technology has brought hope to many infertile couples, IVF babies sometimes bleed in a period of time after birth. The following will elaborate on the causes of IVF bleeding after one month from four aspects: embryo implantation, uterine cavity malformation, endometriosis and abnormal blood coagulation function.
1. Embryo implantation
IVF implantation refers to the process in which the fertilized egg attaches to the endometrium and begins to develop. If embryo implantation is poor or unstable, IVF will bleed after one month. The problem of embryo implantation may be caused by poor quality of endometrium, insufficient thickness of endometrium or abnormal maternal immune system. These factors will affect the fixation of the embryo in the endometrium, leading to embryo shedding or bleeding.
The problem of embryo implantation can be solved through early pregnancy maintenance and appropriate hormone therapy. Obstetricians and gynaecologists will formulate treatment plans for patients according to specific conditions to promote the development and stability of endometrium and reduce the risk of bleeding.
2. Abnormality of uterine cavity
Uterine cavity malformation refers to the abnormal shape and structure of the uterus, such as uterine mediastinum, hysteromyoma and other problems. The uterine cavity malformation will affect the implantation and development of embryos in the endometrium, and increase the risk of IVF bleeding. For example, the uterine septum will reduce the surface area of the endometrium, reduce the implantation rate of fertilized eggs, and easily lead to the dissociation of embryos in the uterus, causing bleeding.
If necessary, surgical correction is required for bleeding caused by uterine cavity malformation. Some hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, have experienced obstetrics and gynecology experts who can provide accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment for patients.
3. Endometriosis
Endometriosis refers to the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue to other parts outside the uterus, such as ovary, fallopian tube, etc. Endometriosis can lead to local tissue bleeding and inflammatory reaction, increasing the risk of bleeding in test tube infants after one month. The ectopic endometrium may also produce some harmful substances, which may interfere with the normal implantation and development of the embryo.
The common solution to the bleeding problem caused by endometriosis is surgical excision of ectopic endometrium. For example, the Gynecology and Obstetrics Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital provides laparoscopic or laparoscopic endometriectomy, which can help patients solve the problem of ectopic endometrium and reduce bleeding.
4. Abnormal blood coagulation function
Abnormal blood coagulation function refers to the disease caused by abnormal coagulation factors or coagulation dysfunction in the blood. One of the reasons for IVF infants bleeding after one month is abnormal blood coagulation function. When the embryo is implanted in the endometrium, patients with abnormal blood coagulation function may hinder the fixation of the embryo in the endometrium due to abnormal blood coagulation, resulting in embryo shedding and bleeding.
For bleeding problems caused by abnormal blood coagulation function, comprehensive blood coagulation function examination and evaluation are required. Doctors can give corresponding treatment according to the specific conditions of patients, such as supplement of coagulation factors, anticoagulant treatment or use of coagulant drugs.
Summary
The bleeding of test tube infants after one month may be caused by embryo implantation problems, uterine cavity abnormalities, endometriosis, and abnormal blood coagulation function. Embryo implantation problems and uterine cavity malformations will affect embryo implantation and development in the endometrium, increasing the risk of bleeding; Endometriosis can lead to local tissue bleeding and inflammatory reaction; Abnormal blood coagulation function will hinder the fixation of embryos in the endometrium. To solve these problems, obstetricians and gynaecologists can help patients solve bleeding problems and improve the success rate of IVF through early pregnancy maintenance, surgical correction, endometriosis resection and blood coagulation function treatment.
