Influencing factor 1: changes in body hormones
In order to promote ovulation, IVF babies need to inject hormones to promote the ovaries to produce more eggs, so as to increase the chance of pregnancy. This hormone injection will cause dramatic changes in the body's hormone levels, which may trigger some uncomfortable reactions. Some women may have breast swelling, mood fluctuations, headache, fatigue and other symptoms after hormone injection.
In addition to possible discomfort, changes in body hormones may also have short-term or long-term effects on physical health. For example, long-term hormone injection may increase the risk of gynecological malignancies such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Therefore, before conducting IVF, the doctor will fully evaluate the patient's physical health and select the most suitable treatment scheme.
Moreover, hormonal drugs used in the process of ovulation promoting IVF need to be injected or taken orally, which may cause more risks and burdens for those patients who are allergic to drugs or have a history of allergy.
Influencing factor 2: physical and psychological burden
Ovulation promoting IVF is a long-term, tedious process that requires strict compliance with medical advice. Patients need to undergo multiple ultrasound examinations, blood tests, hormone tests and other examinations, and also need to take drugs and injections regularly. These processes inevitably bring physical and psychological burdens.
The physical burden is manifested in the need to endure injection pain, physical and energy consumption, as well as possible adverse reactions. The psychological burden may be manifested as anxiety, tension, increased pressure, etc. Especially after many infertile couples have experienced long-term infertility pain and disappointment, they have very high expectations for ovulation promoting IVF, which will bring great psychological pressure once they fail.
In order to reduce the burden of patients, doctors usually carry out full communication and psychological support with patients, provide necessary psychological guidance and psychological counseling, help them maintain a positive attitude, and try to reduce pressure and anxiety.
Influencing factor 3: surgical risk
The final stage of ovulation promoting IVF is to implant the fertilized egg into the uterus, which requires a surgical operation. The risk of operation includes local infection, uterine perforation, ascites and other complications.
Although the operation risk is relatively low, it cannot be ignored. The doctor will choose a regular hospital with relevant experience to perform the operation to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. At the same time, patients need to receive a comprehensive physical examination before surgery to assess the suitability of surgery and take necessary preventive measures.
Influencing factor 4: economic pressure
Ovulation promoting IVF is an expensive medical technology, including hormone drug costs, examination costs, surgery costs, etc. Economic pressure is a major problem faced by many patients.
Especially for some patients who need multiple IVF, the economic burden will be heavier. Moreover, not every region's medical insurance policy can cover the cost of IVF, which makes many patients need to bear greater economic pressure at their own expense.
In order to alleviate the economic pressure of patients, some hospitals have introduced relevant preferential policies and installment payment methods, and provided corresponding economic assistance programs. In addition, social and family support has also played an important role in alleviating the economic pressure of patients.
summary
The effects of IVF on the body are mainly reflected in hormonal changes, physical and psychological burdens, surgical risks and economic pressures. These influencing factors need patients and doctors to face and deal with together. Before receiving IVF treatment, patients should fully understand the relevant risks and possible discomfort reactions, and make decisions according to their actual conditions and doctors' suggestions.
