Risks and negative effects of IVF
IVF refers to the babies who transfer the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus during IVF through assisted reproductive technology. Although this technology has made a major breakthrough worldwide, IVF still has some risks and negative effects, which need parents to consider carefully. This article will elaborate on IVF from four aspects of physiology, psychology, society and economy.
Physiological risks and negative effects
First, IVF receiving hormone therapy in assisted reproductive technology may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This is a serious complication, which can cause abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms, and may even lead to serious consequences such as pulmonary embolism.
Secondly, IVF implantation may fail in the process of transplantation. Even if the fertilized egg is successfully transplanted into the mother, it may fail in the process of implantation, leading to pregnancy failure and abortion. This has a certain negative impact on parents' mental and physical health.
In addition, IVF babies are at risk of premature birth. Research has found that IVF babies are more likely to have premature delivery than naturally conceived babies, which may lead to incomplete lung development and increase the incidence of other health problems.
Psychological risks and negative effects
The birth process of IVF is often accompanied by heavy pressure and emotional fluctuations. Parents have gone through a long process of waiting and treatment, and may have experienced many failures and disappointments. This will cause a great burden on their mental health and increase the risk of psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
At the same time, IVF may face problems of identity and family relations. Compared with children who are naturally pregnant, they may face more questions and challenges, and feel confused about their own life experience. In addition, contact with biological parents may face difficulties, which may have a certain impact on family relations.
In addition, the growth environment of IVF also has an important impact on its mental health. Parents may place too high expectations on their children, and infants may suffer from too much pressure, resulting in inferiority, anxiety and other problems. Both parents and babies need to make extra efforts to maintain their mental health.
Social risks and negative impacts
IVF may face certain discrimination and prejudice in society. People generally hold conservative ideas about IVF and question its identity. IVF's peers may reject and isolate them, resulting in more difficulties in social interaction.
In addition, IVF may also face social pressure. In some societies with strong traditional ideas, IVF may be regarded as an abnormal or immoral product. This brings extra pressure on parents and the whole family, which may lead to problems of social integration and acceptance.
Finally, the birth of IVF has also brought some negative effects on the allocation of social resources. Assisted reproductive technology usually consumes a lot of medical resources and costs, which may lead to other people with urgent medical needs in society not receiving enough attention and resource support.
Economic risks and negative impacts
The treatment process and birth costs of IVF are very expensive. Parents need to pay a lot of medical expenses, including hormone therapy, assisted reproductive surgery and infant care, which is a heavy financial burden for many families.
In addition, the maintenance and maintenance costs of IVF are relatively high. IVF babies may need long-term monitoring and treatment, which may increase the family's economic expenditure. For some low-income families, economic pressure may become an important consideration.
In general, IVF babies are faced with certain risks and negative effects in physical, psychological, social and economic aspects. These risks need to be fully considered by parents when deciding whether to adopt IVF technology, and in-depth discussion and consultation with doctors.
summary
By elaborating on the risks and negative effects of IVF, we can see that the success of IVF technology is accompanied by certain risks and challenges. Parents need to fully understand these risks and weigh the pros and cons when deciding whether to adopt IVF technology. Under the guidance of doctors, choosing the most suitable reproductive mode is crucial for the future development of families and children.
