Complications of IVF in West China Hospital

Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in the treatment of infertility. As a first-class comprehensive hospital in China, West China Hospital also has rich experience and technology in the field of test tube baby. However, there are inevitably some complications during IVF, which may have a certain impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Next, we will introduce the common complications of IVF in West China Hospital from four aspects.

1. Multiple pregnancy

In IVF, multiple pregnancy is one of the most common complications. Because of the particularity of IVF technology, doctors will transfer multiple embryos into the uterus through embryo transfer, increasing the possibility of pregnancy. However, multiple embryo transfer also increases the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy may lead to hypertension, anemia, fetal growth retardation and other problems in pregnant women. In serious cases, it may even lead to premature delivery, fetal malformation and other serious complications. In order to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, West China Hospital adopted single embryo transfer to minimize the probability of multiple pregnancy by adjusting the number of embryo transfers in the process of IVF. At the same time, doctors will regularly monitor pregnant women and fetuses to detect and deal with possible complications as soon as possible.

2. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is another common complication. In the process of IVF treatment, in order to increase the number of ovarian ovulation, doctors usually give ovulation promoters to stimulate ovarian development. However, sometimes the ovary will overreact to the ovulation promoting drugs, leading to the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, edema, etc. In serious cases, it may also lead to serious consequences such as pulmonary thromboembolism. Therefore, West China Hospital will adjust the dosage and use mode of drugs according to the specific conditions of patients in the IVF treatment to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

3. Infection and bleeding

The operation of IVF will be accompanied by the operation of puncturing the uterus or ovary, which increases the risk of infection and bleeding. Although the hospital will adopt strict aseptic operation during the operation, the possibility of infection and bleeding cannot be completely ruled out. Before IVF surgery, West China Hospital will conduct a comprehensive examination of patients to ensure their health and reduce the risk of surgical complications. During the operation, the doctor will strictly control the operation process to ensure the safety of the operation. After the operation, the doctor will also follow up regularly to discover and deal with possible infection and bleeding in a timely manner.

4. Psychological pressure

IVF treatment is a long and arduous process, and patients often need to face pressure from physical, psychological and environmental aspects. This long treatment process and uncertainty of expectations may bring huge psychological pressure to patients. West China Hospital pays attention to the psychological health of patients in the treatment of test tube babies. The hospital provides psychological counseling services to help patients reduce psychological pressure and enhance coping ability. In addition, the professional doctor team will also establish good communication and trust with patients to provide them with full support and care. To sum up, the common complications of IVF treatment in West China Hospital include multiple pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, infection and bleeding, and psychological stress. Although these complications may have a certain impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses, West China Hospital, with its rich experience and professional medical team, can identify and deal with these problems in a timely manner to maximize the safety and health of patients. In the future development, West China Hospital will continue to improve technology and service quality, bringing the gospel of healthy babies to more infertile patients.
