What are the sequelae of successful IVF?
Test tube baby is a human being who transfers the embryos fertilized in vitro through assisted reproductive technology to the uterus for pregnancy and delivery. Although IVF technology has helped many couples realize their dreams of procreation, it may also bring some sequelae of success. This article will elaborate on the successful sequelae and preventive measures of IVF from four aspects.
1. Increased risk of premature delivery
IVF babies may be at risk of premature birth. Because of the common situation of multiple pregnancy in assisted reproductive technology, this will increase the possibility of premature delivery. Premature infants may have growth and development problems, such as physical vulnerability, mental retardation, hearing and vision problems. In order to prevent premature delivery, doctors usually monitor the progress of IVF pregnancy more closely, and effectively control the number of embryo transfers to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancies.
In addition, health care during pregnancy is also very important. Pregnant women should develop good living habits, avoid overwork and mental stress, eat reasonably, ensure adequate nutrition, and prevent premature delivery.
2. Risk of congenital malformation
IVF babies may face a higher risk of congenital malformations. Studies have shown that assisted reproductive technology may increase the risk of some congenital malformations, such as heart and neural tube defects. In order to prevent congenital malformations, doctors will conduct gene testing on embryos and select healthy embryos for transplantation. In addition, during pregnancy, pregnant women should regularly carry out prenatal examination, prenatal examination and ultrasound examination to find and deal with possible problems in time, so as to reduce the risk of congenital malformations.
3. Mental health problems
After the success of IVF, couples may face mental health problems. After the treatment of assisted reproductive technology, couples may feel great pressure, anxiety and depression. In addition, if problems or complications are found during IVF pregnancy, the psychological pressure of couples may also increase. In order to prevent mental health problems, couples can actively seek psychological counseling or psychotherapy, seek family and social support, and maintain a positive attitude and good living habits.
4. Pregnancy complications
After the success of IVF, there may be some risks of pregnancy complications. For example, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, pre eclampsia, etc. These complications may affect the health of the mother and fetus. In order to prevent the occurrence of complications, pregnant women need to conduct regular pregnancy examinations, follow the doctor's treatment suggestions and guidance, control weight, pay attention to nutrition supplementation, pay attention to rest, and maintain a good attitude.
Summary:
The successful sequelae of IVF include increased risk of premature delivery, increased risk of congenital malformations, mental health problems and pregnancy complications. In order to prevent the occurrence of these problems, doctors and pregnant women should cooperate closely, follow the doctor's treatment suggestions, conduct regular inspection and monitoring, pay attention to physical and mental health, and maintain good living habits.
