Risk and complications of IVF induced ovulation

Ovulation promoting IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally due to various reasons to realize their reproductive dreams. Although this technique has been successful in many couples, there are also some risks and complications that need to be considered.

1. Risk of multiple pregnancy

After ovulation promoting IVF is conceived, multiple fertilized eggs are usually transplanted into the uterus, which can increase the chance of successful pregnancy. However, this also leads to the risk of multiple pregnancies. Multiple pregnancy increases the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight, placental abruption and other complications. These complications may pose potential risks to the health of mothers and fetuses.

In order to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, doctors will select the appropriate number of fertilized eggs for transplantation according to the patient's age, ovarian function, women's condition and other factors, so as to avoid multiple pregnancy.

2. Side effects of ovulation promoting drugs

In the process of ovulation promotion, ovulation promoting drugs are needed to stimulate the ovary to produce more eggs. However, these ovulation promoting drugs have some side effects. Common side effects include breast distention and pain, mood fluctuation, headache, muscle soreness, etc. A few patients may also have ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which is characterized by abdominal distension, abdominal pain, dyspnea and other symptoms.

The doctor will select and adjust the drug dose according to the specific situation of the patient to minimize the occurrence of side effects.

3. Bacterial infection and endometriosis

In the process of IVF, patients need to experience multiple intrauterine embryo transfer and intrauterine injection, which increases the risk of infection. Bacterial infection may lead to complications such as endometriosis, uterine adhesion and pelvic inflammation.

In order to prevent infection, doctors will thoroughly sterilize the patient's uterine cavity and take other preventive measures. Patients also need to pay attention to personal hygiene after surgery to avoid infection.

4. Psychological and mental pressure

Couples who experience the process of IVF are often under great psychological and mental pressure. Every attempt requires a lot of time, money and energy, and uncertain results may bring frustration and disappointment to them.

In order to cope with this psychological pressure, couples can seek the help of psychological counselors or support groups. These professional institutions can provide them with emotional support and ways to cope with stress.

summary

Ovulation promoting IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology. Although it can help many couples successfully realize their reproductive dreams, there are also some risks and complications. Multiple pregnancy, side effects of ovulation promoting drugs, bacterial infection and psychological stress are common problems. Through reasonable regulation of doctors and active cooperation of patients, these risks and complications can be minimized and the success rate of IVF can be improved.
