Does IVF affect the body?
Test tube baby refers to the combination of sperm and egg in vitro with the help of artificial assisted reproduction technology to cultivate the embryo, and then implant the embryo into the mother's uterus to complete pregnancy. The birth of this technology has brought many infertile couples a chance to regain their fertility hope. However, some people worry about whether hormone therapy, surgical procedures and embryo culture in the process of IVF will have adverse effects on the body. The following is detailed from four aspects.
1. Hormone therapy
One of the most common steps in IVF is hormone therapy, which aims to promote ovarian ovulation through drugs. Although hormone therapy may cause some side effects, such as headache, breast pain, mood fluctuations, etc., these side effects are usually temporary and gradually disappear with the end of treatment. Research shows that hormone therapy has no obvious long-term effect on women's bodies.
In addition, hormone therapy is also associated with some rare complications, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). However, the continuous progress of science and technology and the improvement of medical technology have greatly reduced the incidence of these complications. To sum up, hormone therapy may have some temporary effects on the body to some extent, but the overall risk is low.
2. Operation
In the process of IVF, multiple operations are required, such as ovarian puncture, egg retrieval, etc. These operations are generally performed by experienced doctors under sterile conditions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. Although any surgery has certain risks, the risks of IVF surgery are usually low. A study conducted in Jiamusi XXX Hospital shows that the incidence of complications of IVF surgery is within a reasonable range.
However, some surgery related complications may occur in individual cases, such as infection, bleeding, etc. However, the probability of these complications is low, and the risk can be reduced through preoperative preparation and postoperative care. Therefore, the safety of IVF surgery is reliable, and the negative impact on the body is controllable.
3. Embryo culture
In the process of IVF, embryo culture is very important. Embryo culture is usually carried out in the laboratory, and professional technicians are responsible for monitoring and maintaining the culture conditions. Although embryo culture involves the use of culture media, culture dishes and other materials, these materials have undergone strict aseptic treatment to ensure their quality and safety.
Research shows that the potential harm of embryo culture to the body is very limited. The culture time of embryos in the laboratory is not long, generally 2-6 days, and the control of culture conditions makes the environment for embryo development more stable and favorable. Therefore, the impact of embryo culture on the body can be said to be minimal.
4. Pregnancy and childbirth
Once the embryo is successfully implanted into the mother's uterus and pregnant, the risks faced by IVF are not significantly different from those of natural pregnancy. However, IVF pregnancy may be more likely to cause some early pregnancy complications, such as a slightly higher incidence of ectopic pregnancy. However, the incidence of these complications is also controllable under modern medical conditions.
The process of IVF delivery is similar to natural delivery, and the choice of natural delivery and caesarean section depends on the specific situation. Therefore, IVF has no significant impact on the normal delivery process of the body.
Summary
To sum up, the effects of hormone therapy, surgical operation, embryo culture, pregnancy and delivery on the body during IVF are controllable. Although there are some potential risks and rare complications, the progress of modern medical technology and the improvement of medical conditions have greatly improved the safety and success rate of IVF. Therefore, Jiamusi IVF is a safe and feasible birth choice with the help of a rigorous medical team.
