Potential risks of IVF to pregnant women
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology. Through IVF and IVC, couples who cannot conceive naturally have the opportunity to have their own children. Although IVF technology has made great breakthroughs in solving the problem of infertility, there are still some potential risks. This article will elaborate on the potential risks of IVF to pregnant women from four aspects.
1. Operation risk
The IVF technology needs to guide the ovum taking needle to the ovary through surgery to take eggs. The operation itself has certain risks, including infection, bleeding, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, etc. Anesthetic drugs are required for surgery, which may cause adverse reactions to some pregnant women, such as allergic reactions, respiratory depression, etc. In addition, the ovaries may be damaged to some extent during the process of egg retrieval, which needs to be properly repaired.
In order to ensure the safety of the operation, the hospital will conduct a comprehensive physical examination of pregnant women before implementing IVF technology to assess the surgical risks of pregnant women. Doctors will carefully select suitable pregnant women for operation, monitor their vital signs during the operation, and deal with emergencies in a timely manner.
2. Drug side effects
In vitro baby technology, pregnant women need to be injected with a series of drugs to stimulate ovarian ovulation and promote embryo implantation. These drugs may cause physical discomfort of pregnant women, such as headache, nausea, breast pain, etc. Some drugs may also increase the risk of thrombosis, which requires close observation and timely medical treatment by pregnant women.
In order to ensure the safety of drugs, doctors will inquire about the allergy history and medical history of pregnant women in detail before carrying out IVF technology, select drugs reasonably and control the dosage of drugs. The doctor will inform the pregnant women of the common side effects of drugs, and guide them to adjust their diet and rest reasonably to alleviate the discomfort.
3. Abnormal embryonic development
The success rate of IVF technology is not 100%, and there is also a risk of abnormal embryonic development during the embryonic development of pregnant women. Embryos may have chromosomal abnormalities, malformations, or early termination of development. Such situation may lead to pregnancy failure or spontaneous abortion of pregnant women.
The hospital will carry out detailed detection and identification of the fertilized eggs after taking the eggs, and screen the well developed embryos for transplantation. At the same time, doctors will also guide pregnant women to take proper rest and diet after embryo transfer to avoid excessive activity and affect embryo implantation.
4. Long term effects on the body
IVF technology may have long-term effects on the body of pregnant women. In particular, pregnant women who repeatedly use IVF technology may experience multiple egg retrieval operations and corresponding drug treatment, which will increase the physical burden of pregnant women. In addition, pregnant women may experience psychological stress and anxiety in the process of receiving IVF technology.
In order to ensure the safety and health of pregnant women, hospitals usually provide psychological counseling and comprehensive physical examination for pregnant women. The doctor will try to reduce the stimulation and damage to pregnant women technically, recommend reasonable rest and exercise methods, and provide psychological support.
summary
Although IVF technology provides hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally, its potential risks to pregnant women still exist. The risks of surgery, side effects of drugs, abnormal embryonic development and long-term effects on the body all need attention. However, the hospital took a series of measures during the implementation of IVF technology to ensure the safety of pregnant women, including comprehensive physical examination and evaluation, drug dosage adjustment, embryo screening and psychological support. Through strict medical operation and personalized medical services, potential risks can be minimized to ensure the safety and success of IVF technology.
