What are the risks of IVF in Foshan?
Test tube baby technology is one of the important breakthroughs in the development of medicine today. It provides a feasible choice for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, like any other medical technology, IVF also has certain risks. This article will elaborate on the risks of IVF in Foshan from many aspects.
1. Risks during in vitro fertilization
In vitro fertilization is one of the key steps in IVF technology. In this process, women will receive high-dose hormone treatment to promote the growth and collection of eggs. This may lead to some discomfort and side effects, such as nausea, abdominal distention and menstrual changes. In addition, ovarian hyperstimulation may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which is a rare but serious complication.
During in vitro fertilization, there may be some risks in egg collection. The collection process may lead to complications such as ovarian cysts, ovarian bleeding or infection. In addition, although extremely rare, there is a risk of ovarian perforation, which needs timely treatment.
Once the eggs are successfully collected, another risk in IVF is the failure of fertilization. Sometimes, despite taking appropriate measures, eggs and sperm may not combine successfully, which may lead to fertilization failure and interruption of IVF process.
2. Risk of embryo transfer and pregnancy
In IVF technology, after successful fertilization, the embryo will be transferred to the female uterus. There are many risks involved. First of all, the embryo may not be successfully implanted, leading to transplant failure and pregnancy failure. Secondly, discomfort such as lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding may occur during transplantation, although these reactions are usually temporary.
If the pregnancy is successful, then the risk of pregnancy is next. Women with IVF pregnancy are more likely to have complications such as early abortion, ectopic pregnancy and multiple pregnancy. In addition, hormone levels during pregnancy may be abnormal, which requires close monitoring and appropriate treatment.
In the process of IVF, multiple attempts may be required. Every attempt is accompanied by corresponding risks, especially for women. Surgery, hormone therapy and emotional stress may have a certain impact on women's physical and mental health.
3. Risk of genetic diseases and children's physical and mental development problems
IVF technology cannot completely eliminate the risk of genetic diseases. If there are genes of genetic diseases in both families, the risk of these diseases may be passed on to future generations.
In addition, some studies have shown that IVF children may face the risk of physical and mental development problems. For example, IVF babies may have low birth weight at birth, which may be related to premature delivery. In addition, some studies also show that children with IVF may be more prone to neurodevelopmental disorders and cognitive disorders. However, it should be noted that the results of these studies are inconsistent, and more studies are needed to confirm these risks.
4. Risk of psychological and economic pressure
IVF is not a simple and economic process. For couples, economic pressure may be an important issue. In particular, the cost of IVF will be more expensive when it requires multiple attempts. In addition, the failure and repeated attempts of IVF may also bring great psychological pressure and frustration to couples.
To sum up, there are risks of IVF in Foshan. Although the current technology and medical conditions have controlled these risks to a great extent, it is still necessary for couples to comprehensively consider the risks and benefits before deciding to carry out IVF, and to do so under the guidance of professional doctors.
