What are the sequelae of Yichang IVF?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology that transfers the fertilized egg into the female uterus for pregnancy through artificial fertilization technology. Although it has helped many couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of childbearing, there are also some sequelae. This article will elaborate on the four main sequelae of Yichang IVF.
1. Multiple pregnancy
Multiple pregnancy is one of the common sequelae in IVF. In order to increase the success rate, multiple fertilized eggs are usually transplanted into the uterus. However, when multiple embryos are successfully implanted and continue to develop, multiple pregnancies will occur. For pregnant women, multiple pregnancy will increase the risk of complications, such as premature delivery, intrauterine growth retardation and placental insufficiency. At the same time, multiple pregnancy may also cause pressure on the embryo itself, increasing the probability of embryo malformation.
In order to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, Yichang Union Medical College Hospital has introduced selective embryo transfer technology in IVF. By evaluating the development and quality of embryos, select the best embryos for transfer, so as to avoid the occurrence of multiple pregnancies.
2. Pregnancy complications
There are also some special complications in IVF pregnancy. Because patients are usually older or couples with other fertility problems, their physical condition may not be as good as that of naturally pregnant women, so they are more likely to have some complications, such as pregnancy induced hypertension, pregnancy induced diabetes and prenatal depression. These complications increase the health risks of IVF pregnant women, which requires closer prenatal testing and medical monitoring.
Yichang Union Medical College Hospital has an experienced obstetric team, which can provide personalized prenatal counseling, monitoring and treatment services to reduce the incidence of pregnancy complications.
3. Social psychological pressure
For both husband and wife, IVF is often a method of pregnancy that can only be realized after long expectations and efforts. However, IVF is not 100% successful, and the success rate is limited. If many attempts fail, the couple may face pressure and doubt from their families, society and their own hearts. These pressures may cause tension in the relationship between husband and wife, depression and frustration of personal self-esteem.
In order to help couples get through the troubled period of IVF, Yichang Union Medical College Hospital opened psychological counseling services. Professional psychologists will help couples solve psychological problems and enhance their confidence in IVF through consultation, psychological support and counseling.
4. Genetic diseases
One potential risk of IVF is the transmission of genetic diseases. If one or both of the couples have gene mutations of genetic diseases, the risks of these diseases may be passed on to offspring through IVF. This requires patients to carry out detailed genetic counseling and genetic testing before IVF to determine whether there is a risk of genetic disease.
Yichang Union Medical College Hospital is equipped with a first-class genetic counseling team and gene testing facilities, which can provide comprehensive genetic counseling and risk assessment services for couples. According to the consultation results, doctors will formulate appropriate treatment plans for individual conditions to avoid the occurrence of genetic diseases.
To sum up, the sequelae of Yichang IVF mainly include multiple pregnancy, pregnancy complications, psychosocial pressure and genetic diseases. Although there are certain risks in these sequelae, with the active efforts of the medical team of Yichang Union Medical College Hospital, these risks can be reduced through prevention, monitoring and personalized treatment, and provide a strong guarantee for couples to realize the dream of a healthy baby.
