What are the sequelae of CN test tube babies?
With the development of assisted reproductive technology, more and more couples choose to use IVF technology to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, CN IVF also has some sequelae that need our attention and prevention. This article will elaborate on the sequelae of CN IVF from four aspects.
Congenital malformations and genetic diseases
A major risk of IVF is the relatively high incidence of congenital malformations and genetic diseases. This is mainly because the genome of the embryo may be damaged or mutated during in vitro fertilization. Some studies have shown that compared with naturally conceived infants, IVF is more likely to suffer from chromosome abnormalities, cleft lip and palate, neural tube defects and other abnormalities.
In order to reduce and prevent these sequelae, we can take some measures. First, carry out comprehensive gene screening, including chromosome abnormalities and common single gene disease screening. Secondly, in the process of fertilization, high-quality sperm and eggs are used, and embryo culture conditions are optimized to reduce the possibility of gene damage. Finally, regular ultrasound examination and prenatal genetic diagnosis, as well as comprehensive prenatal examination, as well as early detection and treatment of possible genetic diseases.
Preterm birth and low birth weight
Compared with naturally conceived infants, IVF infants are more likely to be premature and have lower birth weight. This may be because in the laboratory environment, IVF cannot obtain sufficient nutrients and protection like the fetus developing in utero. Preterm birth and low birth weight may lead to a series of health problems, including respiratory insufficiency, weak immune function and growth retardation.
In order to reduce and prevent these sequelae, it is necessary to try to delay the delivery time of IVF, for example, to reduce the incidence of multiple pregnancy by controlling the number of embryos and selecting high-quality embryos. In addition, pay attention to diet and maintain proper weight gain during pregnancy to provide adequate nutrition and protect the fetus.
Psychological and social development issues
IVF may face psychological and social development problems. Since the birth of IVF babies is usually associated with a longer treatment process and high costs, they may be more prone to anxiety, depression and self-esteem problems. In addition, the existence of non biological parents and children may lead to identity confusion and family relationship problems.
In order to reduce and prevent these sequelae, it is important to provide good psychological support for IVF. This includes providing proper family education to enhance their self-esteem and sense of security. In addition, tell IVF babies their life experiences as soon as possible to help them understand and accept the relationship with their biological parents.
Infertility treatment related complications
Infertility treatment itself also brings some risks and complications. During the treatment of IVF, ovulation promoting drugs may be needed to help women ovulate, which may increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. In addition, multiple IVF cycles may cause certain pressure on women's physical health and psychology.
In order to reduce and prevent these sequelae, it is first necessary to regularly monitor the ovarian response during treatment to avoid the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Secondly, make adequate physical and psychological preparations to understand and accept the risks and difficulties in IVF.
summary
The sequelae of IVF mainly include congenital malformations and genetic diseases, premature delivery and low birth weight, psychological and social development problems, and infertility treatment related complications. In order to reduce and prevent these sequelae, we can take measures such as gene screening, optimizing embryo culture conditions, regular prenatal examination, delaying delivery time, paying attention to diet and maintaining proper weight gain, and providing good psychological support. Although IVF technology has brought hope to infertile couples, we also need to face up to and deal with the possible risks and sequelae to ensure the health and happiness of children.
