Can cervical erosion surgery and IVF program be performed simultaneously?
For women suffering from cervical erosion, infertility is a problem that continues to plague them. Some women may hope to solve this problem simultaneously through cervical erosion surgery and IVF program. However, according to the current medical research, these two methods are not suitable for carrying out at the same time. The following will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.
1. Effect of surgery on IVF protocol
First, cervical erosion surgery may have a negative impact on the IVF program. Cervical erosion surgery is to scrape the erosion tissue on the surface of the cervix to improve the chance of pregnancy. However, this operation may cause certain trauma to the cervix and affect its normal function. The IVF program needs to transfer the fertilized eggs into the uterus, and the normal function of the cervix is crucial for the safe implantation of embryos. Therefore, if the IVF program is carried out soon after the operation, it may lead to the failure of embryo implantation in the uterus, thus affecting the success rate of pregnancy.
In addition, cervical erosion surgery may cause a certain risk of postoperative infection. The IVF protocol has high requirements for the intrauterine environment. If infection occurs after surgery, it may have adverse effects on the growth and development of embryos. Therefore, before the IVF program, it is necessary to ensure that the wound of cervical erosion surgery has been fully healed to avoid the risk of infection.
2. Timing of surgery and IVF programs
Secondly, the schedule of cervical erosion surgery and IVF program is also a factor to be considered. Cervical erosion surgery generally requires a period of recovery to ensure complete healing of the cervix. The IVF program needs to be carried out at a specific time in the female menstrual cycle in order to control the ovarian function and the intrauterine environment. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably arrange the time of surgery and IVF program to ensure sufficient spacing between them.
In addition, the IVF program usually requires multiple attempts to conceive successfully, so it may require multiple cycles. If the operation and IVF program are carried out at the same time, the number of attempts may be limited, thus reducing the chance of successful pregnancy.
3. Find more suitable solutions
In view of the fact that surgery and IVF are not suitable to be carried out at the same time, women with cervical erosion can consider looking for other more suitable solutions. First, the cervical erosion surgery can be completed, and the IVF program can be carried out after the surgery is completely recovered. This can avoid the impact of surgery on the IVF program, and give the uterus enough time to recover.
Another solution is to choose other methods in assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or gamete transplantation (GIFT). These methods do not require embryo transfer into the uterus, so they are not affected by the state of the cervix. At the same time, the success rate of these methods is relatively high compared with the IVF scheme.
Summary
In conclusion, cervical erosion surgery and IVF program are not suitable to be carried out at the same time, because the surgery may affect the implantation and development of embryos in the uterus, and increase the risk of postoperative infection. In addition, the timing of the two also needs reasonable consideration. If women with cervical erosion want to solve the problem of infertility, they can choose to perform cervical erosion surgery first, and then consider the IVF program or other assisted reproductive technologies to improve the chance of successful pregnancy.
