Risk and complications of ligation of IVF
Ligation of IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their desire to have children. Although this technology has made remarkable breakthroughs in recent years, there are still some risks and complications that need our attention and understanding.
1. Risk of elderly pregnant women
With the growth of women's age, the ovarian function and egg quality will decline. When women are over 35 years old, the chance of successful ligation of IVF will be significantly reduced, while women of the same age may face more pregnancy complications, such as fetal chromosomal abnormalities, abortion and premature delivery.
In addition, older pregnant women may also face an increased risk of pregnancy complications such as hypertension and diabetes. Therefore, for older pregnant women, ligation of IVF needs to be more careful, and comprehensive pre assessment and consultation must be carried out.
2. Risk of multiple pregnancy
In order to increase the success rate, multiple fertilized eggs are usually implanted into the uterus after ligation of IVF. However, multiple pregnancies also increase the risk of both mother and fetus. Multiple pregnancy will increase the risk of pregnant women suffering from unexpected complications such as anemia, hypertension and diabetes.
In addition, multiple pregnancy will also increase the incidence of premature delivery and low birth weight infants, who may need longer monitoring and medical care after birth. Therefore, although multiple pregnancy may increase the chances of babies, it is also necessary to weigh the risks it brings.
3. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)
During ligation of IVF, women often need to inject ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. However, these drugs sometimes lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
OSS is an ovarian disease that can cause abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. In rare cases, OHSS may lead to severe complications such as ovarian torsion and ascites accumulation. Therefore, for women who are prone to produce a large number of eggs, it is necessary to carefully adjust the drug dose and closely monitor their ovarian response.
4. Psychological pressure and mood fluctuation
The process of ligating IVF is a hard and psychologically stressful journey for both husband and wife. Especially when many attempts are still unsuccessful, couples may fall into a state of emotional fluctuation, anxiety and depression.
This kind of psychological pressure may not only have a negative impact on the marital relationship between husband and wife, but also may cause damage to their physical and mental health. Therefore, before ligating IVF, couples should actively seek psychological counseling and support to help them cope with possible psychological difficulties.
Summary
Ligation of IVF is a complex and exciting reproductive technology, but it also comes with certain risks and complications. Older pregnant women may face more risks of pregnancy complications. Multiple pregnancies will increase the risks of mothers and fetuses. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may lead to serious complications. Psychological stress and mood fluctuations are also common problems. Therefore, before ligating IVF, couples need to fully understand these risks, and have a detailed discussion and consultation with doctors to make a wise decision.
