Risk and complications of IVF in Fujian
IVF refers to the process of transferring fertilized eggs and sperm into the mother's body after in vitro fertilization through assisted reproductive technology. Although this technology can help many infertile couples realize their dreams, it also has certain risks and complications.
1. Implantation failed
IVF implantation failure refers to the phenomenon that the embryo cannot be successfully implanted in the uterus. The main reasons for implantation failure include maternal endometrial abnormalities, embryo quality problems, immune system abnormalities, etc. Implantation failure may lead to termination of pregnancy, requiring a new IVF cycle, which increases patients' time and economic costs.
In addition to implantation failure, there is also a risk of early abortion after embryo implantation. This is mainly related to the instability of the uterine environment after embryo implantation and the obstruction of blood circulation.
2. Multiple pregnancy
In the process of IVF, doctors sometimes implant multiple embryos into the uterus at the same time to increase the success rate. However, multiple pregnancy increases the risk of both mother and fetus. Multiple pregnancy will increase the probability of premature delivery, low birth weight and fetal dysplasia, and also bring greater risks of pregnancy complications to mothers, such as pre eclampsia, placental abruption, etc.
In addition, multiple pregnancy will bring additional burden to family economy and baby rearing. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, doctors will control the number of embryo implantation according to the specific conditions of patients.
3. In vitro fertilization related complications
In the process of IVF, in vitro fertilization of eggs and sperm is required, which involves operations such as taking eggs and sperm. These operations also have a certain risk of complications.
Vascular injury, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and other complications may occur during egg retrieval, leading to abdominal pain, bleeding, ovarian swelling and other symptoms. The risk of infection, pain or bleeding of vas deferens may be caused during semen extraction.
4. Risk of genetic disease
Another risk of IVF is that it may pass on genetic diseases. Because in vitro fertilization involves embryo selection, sometimes embryos with specific genetic disease genes will be selected for implantation. This means that some genetic diseases may be passed on to offspring.
In order to reduce the risk of genetic diseases, doctors will conduct gene screening during in vitro fertilization and select healthy embryos for implantation. In addition, some hospitals also provide genetic counseling services to help couples understand the possible risks of genetic diseases and make wise choices.
Summary
The test tube baby technology in Fujian has been widely used in infertile couples. However, there are risks and complications during IVF, such as implantation failure, multiple pregnancy, IVF related complications and genetic disease risk. On the one hand, doctors need to pay attention to the delicacy and safety of operation technology in the process of IVF, so as to reduce the occurrence of these risks as far as possible. On the other hand, patients should also fully understand the risks and complications of IVF technology, and work closely with doctors to select appropriate programs to improve the success rate and reduce risks.
