Risk of laparoscopic IVF surgery

Laparoscopic IVF surgery is an assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. Although this technology has improved the possibility of fertility success to some extent, there are still some risks. This article will elaborate on the risks of laparoscopic IVF surgery from four aspects.

1. Operational risk

Laparoscopic IVF surgery requires professional doctors to operate, so operational risk is an important aspect. First, because the operation needs to be carried out in the body, doctors need to insert instruments to reach the endometrium through laparoscopy. The operation is very complicated, which is easy to cause damage to the uterus or other organs. In addition, bleeding, infection and other complications may occur during the operation, which requires doctors to take timely measures to deal with.

Secondly, the success of the operation is also related to the doctor's experience and technical level. If you do not have enough professional knowledge and experience, it may lead to surgical failure or difficulties in pregnancy again. Therefore, we should pay attention to their professional background and clinical experience when selecting surgeons.

*Later, the success rate of laparoscopic IVF surgery was not 100%, and even if the operation process was correct, it could not guarantee a successful pregnancy in one operation. Therefore, both the husband and wife should be patient and formulate reasonable treatment plans and principles under the guidance of doctors.

2. Drug risk

Laparoscopic IVF surgery requires hormone drugs to promote the development and maturation of eggs, including a series of drug treatment processes. These drugs may have some adverse reactions and risks.

First, hormone therapy may lead to the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This is a clinical syndrome caused by ovarian hyperstimulation, including abdominal distension, abdominal pain, dyspnea and other symptoms. Although the incidence rate is low, once it occurs, it needs to be handled in time to avoid serious consequences.

Secondly, hormone drugs may also cause other discomfort, such as mood fluctuations, breast pain and headache. These discomfort are usually temporary, but it is still necessary to communicate with the doctor in time and adjust the drug dosage under the guidance of the doctor.

In addition, hormone therapy may also have some negative effects on the body, such as increasing the risk of certain diseases, affecting bone health, etc. Therefore, when conducting drug treatment, doctors need to make a comprehensive assessment based on individual conditions and develop a reasonable treatment plan.

3. Psychological risk

Laparoscopic IVF surgery is a process with high psychological pressure for couples. First of all, for couples who cannot conceive naturally, there are feelings of confusion, anxiety and loss. Each link in the operation process, such as ovulation monitoring, egg retrieval, embryo culture and embryo transfer, may become a psychological burden.

Secondly, because the result of the operation is not 100% successful, it may lead to psychological fluctuations in the couple. Each failure will bring frustration and disappointment, which requires mutual support and understanding between the couple.

In the face of these psychological pressures, couples can seek the support of a psychological consultant or a mutual aid group to relieve the pressure through a positive attitude and reasonable psychological adjustment.

4. Financial risk

Laparoscopic IVF surgery is a relatively expensive treatment scheme, and financial risks need to be considered. The cost of surgery includes hormone drugs, surgery costs, and subsequent auxiliary drugs and examination costs. A complete operation may cost tens of thousands of yuan or more.

In addition, since the success rate of the operation is not 100%, it may take several attempts to achieve the desired results. This increases the financial burden and requires couples to have a certain financial capacity.

Therefore, when choosing laparoscopic IVF surgery, couples need to fully consider the economic situation and make full financial planning.

Summary

Laparoscopic IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, but it also has some risks. Operational risk involves organ damage and complications during operation, drug risk includes side effects of hormone drugs and possible disease risks, psychological risk includes psychological burden and pressure of couples, and financial risk involves operation costs and economic burden of repeated attempts. Therefore, before performing laparoscopic IVF surgery, couples need to fully understand and make corresponding preparations, so as to greatly reduce risks and improve the success rate of surgery.
