Causes of IVF Woman's Pain
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. By combining the woman's egg with the man's sperm in the laboratory, and then transplanting the fertilized egg back to the woman's uterus, it helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. Although IVF technology has brought hope and joy to many couples, the pain experienced by the woman in the whole process cannot be ignored. The following will elaborate on the causes of IVF women's suffering from psychological, physiological, economic and social perspectives.
Psychological pain
First, the psychological pressure during IVF. In the IVF cycle, the woman needs to face multiple tubal egg retrieval, hormone therapy and transplantation processes, which will bring physical and psychological pressure to the woman. Worry about the risk of surgery, the side effects of hormone therapy, and the possibility of transplant failure will lead to anxiety, tension, and even depression of the woman.
Second, the question of fertility. Failure to conceive naturally may frustrate the woman's confidence in her fertility. They may begin to doubt their own values and feel disappointed with their bodies. This psychological pain will have a negative impact on the woman's self-esteem and self-confidence.
Third, the pressure of family and social expectations. In traditional society, women are regarded as an important role in family inheritance. They are responsible for inheriting blood and family responsibilities. In terms of economy, social concepts and expectations of relatives and friends, women's psychological burden will increase, causing them to feel pain and anxiety.
Physical pain
First, the physical discomfort caused by hormone therapy. During IVF, the woman needs hormone therapy to promote the maturation of eggs and the growth of endometrium. The side effects of these drugs include breast pain, nausea, abdominal distension, headache and mood fluctuations, which cause discomfort and pain to the woman's body.
Second, the pain and recovery process of ovum retrieval operation. In order to obtain eggs, the woman needs to undergo an egg retrieval operation. Pain and discomfort may be felt during the operation. During the postoperative recovery period, the woman also needs to endure abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other discomfort, which brings severe pain to their bodies.
Third, the tension and anxiety in the process of transplantation. Transferring the fertilized eggs back to the uterus is a key step in the IVF process. The woman may feel nervous and anxious about the success of the transplant, or whether there will be complications such as transplant failure and abortion.
Economic and social pressure
The high cost of IVF technology is another pain that women face. In addition to the cost of hormone therapy, egg retrieval and transplantation, it also includes medical examination, drug costs and medical care costs. These expenses are a heavy burden for many couples, which may require loans or consume a large amount of savings.
In addition, the time and energy input during IVF also brought greater social pressure to the woman. The need for frequent medical treatment, insistence on hormone injection, adjustment of living habits, etc., will cause the woman's trouble and pain in her work and personal life.
summary
IVF technology has played a positive role in solving the problem of infertility, but the pain experienced by the woman in the whole process cannot be ignored. Psychological pressure, physical discomfort, economic burden and social pressure have all caused pain to the woman. For these pains, we should pay attention to the women's mental health, and provide emotional support and help, so that they can better experience the IVF process and achieve their reproductive aspirations.
