What is the impact of IVF surgery on women's bodies in China?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. This operation has been widely used in China, and has achieved remarkable success in some well-known hospitals. However, IVF surgery will have a certain impact on women's bodies. From physiology to psychology, patients need to understand and prepare accordingly.
Regulation of menstrual cycle
IVF surgery usually requires hormone therapy to promote ovarian ovulation and endometrial growth. This treatment will have a certain regulatory effect on women's menstrual cycle. Monitoring and adjustment of menstrual cycle may be required in the pre operation period. After surgery, women may experience changes in their menstrual cycle, such as delayed or early menstruation, increased or decreased flow, etc. This is due to the normal physiological changes caused by the impact of hormone therapy on the endocrine system, which in most cases will not have a long-term impact on health.
Although the adjustment of the menstrual cycle is a normal physiological reaction, it is still recommended that women pay close attention to the changes of the cycle before and after surgery, and consult the doctor in time to see if further treatment is needed.
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a common complication in IVF surgery. The syndrome is mainly caused by the excessive stimulation of ovarian follicle during hormone treatment. Symptoms of OHSS include abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. In severe cases, it may also lead to dyspnea and ascites.
In order to prevent the occurrence of OHSS, the doctor will adjust the hormone dose according to the individual condition of the patient. If the patient has obvious discomfort during the operation, he/she should inform the doctor in time and accept further treatment and adjustment of the treatment plan.
Psychological pressure
The problem of infertility has great psychological pressure on couples. As a special fertility method, IVF surgery requires patients to pay extra psychological efforts. The operation process requires patients to go through multiple physical examinations, hormone therapy, surgical procedures, etc., and the success rate is not 100%.
In the whole process, patients may face anxiety, tension, disappointment and other emotions. Therefore, positive psychological adjustment is very important. Couples can relieve pressure and maintain a good attitude by actively participating in assisted reproductive counseling, communicating with doctors and other patients, and seeking psychological support.
Surgical complications
IVF surgery itself is a risky medical process. Although domestic hospitals have accumulated rich experience in this field and adopted strict operation specifications, complications may still occur during the operation. Common complications include uterine cavity perforation, ovarian cyst, endometrial infection, etc. These complications may cause some harm to women's bodies, and patients need to fully understand the risks before surgery.
In order to reduce the incidence of complications, patients need to select experienced professional hospitals and doctors for surgery, and carry out relevant examinations and conditioning according to the doctor's recommendations.
Summary
In China, IVF surgery will have a certain impact on women's bodies. From the regulation of menstrual cycle, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, psychological stress to surgical complications, patients need to understand and prepare for every aspect. Despite some risks and discomfort, IVF is still an assisted reproductive technology, which has been widely used and successfully promoted in China.
