Discomforts after IVF transplantation
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve fertility by placing IVF embryos into the mother's uterus. Although this technology has made remarkable achievements in solving the problem of infertility, there are still some uncomfortable symptoms. This article will elaborate on the discomfort after IVF transplantation from four aspects.
1. Physical discomfort
IVF transplantation itself may cause some physical discomfort. First of all, anesthesia during the operation may cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and other discomfort. Secondly, because the embryo placed in the uterine cavity needs to pass through the cervix, it may cause mild abdominal pain or bleeding. In addition, postoperative discomfort such as fatigue, slight abdominal distension and backache may occur.
In addition, after successful transplantation, additional progesterone or progesterone injection may be required to promote the continuation of pregnancy due to insufficient ovarian luteal function in pregnancy. These drugs may cause discomfort such as breast pain, mood swings and headaches.
Although these physical symptoms are usually temporary, some patients may need a long time to return to normal, so reasonable rest and doctor's guidance are very important.
2. Emotional fluctuation
IVF transplantation is a process full of expectation and tension, which makes patients more prone to emotional fluctuations. First, patients may feel anxious and nervous while waiting for embryo cultivation. Secondly, during the operation and after transplantation, due to the discomfort and uncertainty of the body, patients may feel depressed or lost. Finally, the patient may feel nervous and afraid while waiting for the pregnancy results.
In the face of these emotional fluctuations, patients can relieve pressure by seeking support from family and friends, conducting psychological counseling or joining a support group. In addition, keeping a positive attitude and carrying out appropriate relaxation activities can also help ease mood fluctuations.
3. Pregnancy complications
After successful IVF transplantation, women may face pregnancy related complications. First, there is an increased risk of multiple pregnancies after transplantation, which may lead to a higher abortion rate and a risk of premature delivery. Secondly, the risk of common pregnancy complications such as diabetes, hypertension and anemia during pregnancy has also increased.
In order to reduce the risk of complications, patients need to receive prenatal examination regularly, follow the doctor's pregnancy management plan, and maintain good living habits. In addition, if necessary, drug intervention should be taken to control complications.
4. Financial pressure
IVF transplantation and subsequent pregnancy management is an expensive medical process, which may bring financial pressure to patients and families. Especially for patients who have failed in many attempts, more money and time are needed.
In order to reduce financial pressure, patients can consider expenses and medical insurance reimbursement when choosing hospitals. In addition, some regions also provide IVF related public welfare policies, which can provide some economic assistance for patients.
Summary
IVF transplantation has brought good news to couples who cannot conceive naturally, but there are still some discomfort during the operation and pregnancy. Physical discomfort includes discomfort during the operation and symptoms such as fatigue and abdominal distension after the operation. Emotional fluctuation is due to anxiety and tension during transplantation and uncertainty of pregnancy success. Pregnancy complications may occur after pregnancy, which requires regular monitoring and management. In addition, the high cost of IVF transplantation process and pregnancy management may bring financial pressure to families. For patients undergoing IVF transplantation, it is vital to reasonably cope with these discomfort and pressure and seek appropriate help and support.
