introduction
Test tube baby is a miracle of modern medicine, which has helped many couples realize their desire to become parents. However, smoking has a significant impact on the development of IVF. This article will elaborate the influence of smoking on IVF development from four aspects: psychological factors, physiological factors, immune factors and environmental factors.
psychological factor
First, smoking has a negative impact on the psychological factors of IVF. Smoking will increase the incidence of anxiety and depression of mothers, resulting in IVF being affected by negative emotions. Research shows that anxiety and depression have adverse effects on the success rate and development of IVF. Therefore, couples preparing for IVF should try to quit smoking to ensure a good psychological state.
Secondly, smoking will increase the pressure of couples during IVF. The IVF process itself is a process full of pressure and anxiety, and smoking will further increase the anxiety of couples. This kind of psychological pressure is not conducive to the development of IVF, because the pressure will affect the hormone level in the mother, thus affecting the successful implantation and development of the embryo.
Finally, smoking may cause couples to expect too much of IVF. Smokers may have higher expectations for the results of IVF, hoping to compensate for the impact of smoking on fertility through IVF. However, the IVF process cannot guarantee success. Couples need to maintain a rational attitude and not put too much pressure on themselves and IVF.
Physiological factors
Smoking also has a significant impact on the physiological factors of IVF. Studies have shown that smoking can reduce women's ovarian function, leading to reduced follicle number and decreased egg quality. This means that women who smoke may produce fewer healthy eggs during IVF, thus reducing the success rate of embryos.
In addition, male smoking will also have a negative impact on the development of IVF. Studies have found that smoking can lead to a decline in sperm quality, including concentration, morphology and motility. These adverse effects will reduce the fertilization ability of sperm, affect the quality of fertilized eggs and the development potential of embryos.
Finally, smoking increases the risk of preterm birth, low birth weight and delivery of IVF babies. Studies have found that mothers who smoke will reduce placental blood flow, resulting in limited access to nutrients and oxygen for the fetus. These physiological problems will have long-term adverse effects on the development of IVF.
Immune factor
Smoking also has a negative impact on the immune system of IVF. Smoking will reduce the maternal immune tolerance to embryos and increase the risk of embryo rejection. At the same time, smoking will affect the mother's white blood cell function and antibody production, reduce the immune function of pregnant women, leading to a higher risk of infection.
In addition to affecting the mother's immune system, smoking also affects the development of the IVF's own immune system. Studies have found that smoking can cause abnormalities in the immune system of embryos and newborns, and increase the risk of asthma, allergy, autoimmune diseases and other diseases.
environmental factor
Finally, the environmental factors of smoking will also affect the development of IVF. Smoking causes second-hand smoke in the surrounding environment, which will have a negative impact on the respiratory system and immune system of IVF. Harmful substances in second-hand smoke will increase the risk of asthma, lung infection and immune system diseases in IVF babies after birth.
In addition, smoking will make IVF exposed to nicotine and other harmful substances in the family environment. This will have a long-term impact on the neurological development and cognitive ability of infants, and increase the risk of children suffering from mental and behavioral disorders such as inattention and behavioral problems.
Summary
To sum up, smoking has various effects on the development of IVF. Psychological factors include increasing the incidence of anxiety and depression, as well as increasing the pressure and expectations of couples; Physiological factors include reducing female ovarian function, affecting sperm quality and increasing the risk of premature delivery; Immune factors include reducing the immune tolerance of mothers and embryos, and increasing the risk of immune system diseases; Environmental factors include the effects of second-hand smoke on the respiratory system and immune system, as well as the effects of second-hand smoke on the neurodevelopment and cognitive ability of infants. Therefore, in order to ensure the development and health of IVF, couples preparing for IVF should try their best to quit smoking.
