Does the test tube baby without ovulation have side effects on the body?
Non ovulating test tube baby (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who are difficult to conceive naturally to achieve fertility. Although this technology has achieved great success in solving the problem of infertility, many people are worried about its possible side effects and risks. This article will elaborate on the possible side effects of non ovulating IVF, and discuss them from many aspects.
Hormone treatment: possible side effects
In the process of anovulatory IVF, hormone therapy is needed to promote the development and excretion of eggs. These hormones may have some side effects on the body. First of all, hormone therapy may lead to imbalance of hormone levels, causing emotional fluctuations, breast pain and other symptoms. Secondly, excessive hormone use may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), whose symptoms include abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting and weight gain.
In addition, hormone therapy may increase the risk of patients suffering from other hormone related diseases, such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, etc. However, it needs to be clear that these side effects and risks are not universal, only a few patients will appear.
Operation risk: there is certain possibility
Non ovulating IVF babies need to implement in vitro fertilization technology, including two important steps of egg retrieval and embryo transfer. These two operations have certain risks. First, egg retrieval may cause a small amount of bleeding, infection and ovarian cysts. Secondly, embryo transfer may lead to complications such as intrauterine infection and endometritis.
In addition, the anesthesia process of the operation may also have a certain burden on the body. Although these side effects and risks are very rare, doctors will evaluate and screen the patient's personal characteristics before performing anovulatory IVF to ensure the safety of the operation.
Multiple pregnancy: pay attention to complications
A common condition in anovulatory IVF is multiple pregnancy, that is, the patient is pregnant with two or more fetuses at the same time. Compared with single pregnancy, multiple pregnancy has more risks of complications. First, multiple pregnancy increases the probability of premature delivery and low birth weight, and infants are more likely to suffer from apnea, hypoglycemia, infection and other problems. Secondly, mothers may face a higher risk of pregnancy complications, such as pre eclampsia and placental abruption.
However, doctors will evaluate the embryo quality and personal condition of patients before carrying out multiple embryo transfer, so as to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancy.
Psychological and economic pressure: not to be ignored
Psychological and economic pressure is also a big challenge for IVF patients who do not ovulate. Whether it is the long-term process of receiving treatment or the blow of treatment failure, patients may suffer from great psychological pressure. In addition, the cost of non ovulating IVF is also very expensive, resulting in economic pressure.
Therefore, before conducting IVF without ovulation, patients need to fully understand the risks and side effects of technology and make wise decisions under the guidance of doctors. In addition, patients can also seek psychological counseling and social support to cope with the pressure in the treatment process.
Summary
As an assisted reproductive technology, anovulatory IVF has achieved great success in solving the problem of infertility, but it may have some side effects on the body. Hormone therapy may lead to mood swings, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and other problems. The operation process may lead to bleeding, infection, endometritis and other complications. Multiple pregnancy brings more risk of complications. Psychological and economic pressure can not be ignored. Therefore, before conducting IVF without ovulation, patients should fully understand the risks and side effects, and make decisions under the guidance of doctors.
