Jingdezhen IVF: risks and side effects
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In Jingdezhen, a rapidly developing city, IVF technology has been widely used. However, like all medical procedures, IVF also has some risks and side effects. This article will elaborate on these issues from many aspects.
One of the risks and side effects: complications of in vitro fertilization
In vitro fertilization is one of the key steps of IVF. In this process, women receive hormone therapy to produce multiple mature eggs, and then the eggs are collected, combined with male sperm and cultured, and fertilized and embryo cultured in the laboratory. However, this process is not without risks. Some possible complications include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, infection, bleeding, and cyst formation. Although the probability of these complications is low, couples still need to pay attention and be alert.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is one of the most common complications in IVF. It occurs in about 10% of women receiving hormone therapy. This symptom can lead to ovarian swelling, abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms, which may require hospitalization in serious cases. Infection and bleeding are possible risks during operation. Although IVF is almost impossible to be carried out in regular hospitals, it still requires close cooperation and careful treatment between doctors and patients.
Risk and side effect: failure of embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is another key step in IVF. In this process, the cultured embryo is transferred back to the woman's uterus in the hope of safely embedding and developing into a fetus. However, sometimes embryo transfer may fail and women may not be able to conceive successfully. The reasons for failure may be various, including poor embryo quality, endometrium unsuitable for implantation and immune system response.
The failure of embryo transfer is a huge psychological blow to couples. They have gone through a series of preparation and treatment processes, hoping to see the successful results of IVF. However, success is not always guaranteed. For failed embryo transfer, the doctor will analyze the reasons for the failure together with the couple and propose the next treatment plan.
Risk and side effect 3: risk of multiple pregnancy
In order to improve the success rate, some couples will choose to implant multiple embryos into a woman's uterus at one time during embryo transfer. However, this also increases the risk of multiple pregnancies. Multiple pregnancy poses a threat to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Pregnant women with multiple pregnancies may face higher abortion rates, prematurity and other complications.
Multiple pregnancy also has certain risks to the health of pregnant women. Pregnant women may face higher blood pressure, diabetes and other serious health problems. In addition, multiple pregnancy will also cause certain economic and psychological pressure. Therefore, for IVF, the number of embryo transfers should be carefully selected to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies.
Risk and side effect 4: psychological and emotional impact
The process of IVF is a journey of expectation and tension for couples. After many treatments and failures, couples may face psychological pressure and emotional fluctuations. They experience negative emotions such as anxiety, worry and disappointment. At the same time, the process of IVF will also have a certain impact on marriage and family relations.
Therefore, in the process of IVF, couples should maintain a positive attitude and seek psychological guidance and support as much as possible. Participating in support groups and communicating with other couples with similar experiences can help them reduce stress, enhance confidence and better cope with challenges in IVF.
Summary
Although the IVF technology carried out in Jingdezhen can help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their fertility aspirations, there are also some risks and side effects. The complications of in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer failure, the risk of multiple pregnancy, and the psychological and emotional impact are issues that need attention. Before IVF, couples should fully understand these problems and have in-depth communication and consultation with professional doctors to make wise decisions. At the same time, couples also need to maintain a positive attitude throughout the IVF process and seek necessary psychological support and counseling.
