Risk and side effects of IVF on polycystic patients

IVF (artificial fertilization and embryo transfer) is a reproductive technology, which is widely used in the treatment of polycystic patients. Although IVF is an effective solution for polycystic patients, there are still some risks and side effects to be considered. This article will elaborate on the risks and side effects of IVF on polycystic patients from many aspects.

1. Implantation of too many embryos

In the process of IVF, doctors may implant multiple embryos to increase the success rate of pregnancy. However, implantation of too many embryos may increase the risk of multiple pregnancies. Multiple pregnancy brings certain health risks to both pregnant women and fetuses.

First, multiple pregnancies increase the risk of premature delivery. Premature fetuses are not fully developed and are vulnerable to diseases and complications, with a low survival rate. Secondly, multiple pregnancy is also prone to pregnancy induced hypertension, diabetes and other complications.

Therefore, in the process of IVF, doctors need to strictly control the number of embryos implanted to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy.

2. Complications and adverse reactions

Some complications and adverse reactions may occur during IVF. For example, women may be at risk of infection, bleeding or rupture of ovarian cysts when they are puncturing polycystic ovaries to extract eggs.

In addition, when women receive hormone therapy, there may be side effects of hormone overstimulation leading to ovarian hyperplasia or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). OHSS can cause abdominal distension, abdominal pain, dyspnea and other symptoms, and even require hospitalization in serious cases.

3. Embryo genetic abnormalities

In the process of IVF, the genetic abnormality rate of embryos will increase. Polycystic patients themselves have certain genetic risks, and IVF further increases the possibility of genetic abnormalities in embryos.

Embryonic genetic abnormalities may lead to spontaneous abortion, fetal malformations or congenital diseases. Therefore, before the implementation of IVF, doctors usually carry out embryonic genetic diagnosis to screen out unhealthy embryos and improve the success rate of pregnancy.

4. Psychological pressure

The IVF process is a long-term journey full of anxiety and uncertainty for patients with polycystic cysts. Polycystic patients may experience multiple treatment cycles and failures, which will bring them great psychological pressure.

The psychological pressure of coping therapy has a negative impact on the mental health of patients. Long term anxiety and stress may lead to depression, emotional instability and other psychological problems.

summary

Considering the risks and side effects of IVF for polycystic patients, doctors should monitor and reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy during treatment, be alert to complications and adverse reactions, conduct embryonic genetic screening, and provide psychological support to help patients relieve psychological stress.

At the same time, polycystic patients should have a detailed discussion with their doctors before considering IVF treatment, and fully understand the potential risks and side effects. This can help patients make informed decisions and develop appropriate treatment plans.
