Treatment sequelae of IVF
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF can help some infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. However, this technology is not completely without sequelae. The following will elaborate on the sequelae of IVF treatment in the First Hospital of Harbin Medical University from four aspects.
1. Multiple pregnancy
In the early development stage of IVF technology, multiple embryos were implanted into the uterus, resulting in a higher probability of multiple pregnancy. Although multiple pregnancy is an opportunity for multiple babies to be born at one time, it also has a high risk. First of all, multiple pregnancy has a heavy burden on women's body, which is easy to lead to pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. Secondly, the premature delivery rate of multiple pregnancy is also high, which has a certain adverse impact on the survival and development of premature infants. Therefore, in IVF technology, the number of embryos to be implanted should be carefully considered to avoid the risk of multiple pregnancy.
2. Psychological influence
The psychological endurance of couples during IVF treatment is also a sequela. IVF technology requires a series of examinations and treatments, which is a long and hard journey for both husband and wife. If they are unlucky to encounter failure, the couple may feel frustrated, frustrated and depressed, and even have negative emotions of doubting whether they can have a healthy baby. Therefore, couples need professional psychological support and guidance to cope with possible psychological pressure when undergoing IVF treatment.
3. Gene mutation risk
In vitro baby technology, gene testing is required before embryo implantation to screen possible genetic diseases or abnormalities. However, gene testing can not completely cover the screening of all genetic diseases, and there is a possibility of missed detection. In addition, gene mutation may also occur in the whole process of IVF, which is a rare but not negligible sequela. Therefore, when couples decide to carry out IVF technology, they need to clearly understand the risk of gene mutation and be mentally prepared.
4. Operation risk
The operation risk of IVF technology is mainly reflected in the process of ovarian stimulation and egg collection. Ovarian stimulation may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which may cause abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other discomfort. For some women with strong ovarian stimulation response, there is still a greater risk of surgery, and even further treatment is needed. The egg collection operation itself is a risky operation process, such as bleeding, infection, etc. Therefore, before choosing IVF technology, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the surgical risk.
To sum up, the sequelae of IVF treatment in the First Hospital of Harbin Medical University mainly include multiple pregnancy, psychological impact, gene mutation risk and surgical risk. Once again, although IVF technology can help infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations, it is necessary to fully understand the relevant risks and sequelae when selecting this technology, and make decisions under the guidance of professional doctors.
