Effects of IVF on maternal health

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process in which the fertilized eggs are transferred into the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy. Although IVF technology plays an important role in solving the problem of infertility, it will also have some impact on maternal health. This article will elaborate on the impact of IVF on maternal health from many aspects.

Side effects of hormone therapy

During IVF, women need hormone therapy to promote ovulation and follicular development of the ovary. However, this hormone treatment may cause some side effects, such as mood fluctuations, breast pain, abdominal distension, headache, etc. In addition, hormone therapy may also increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which may lead to ovarian swelling, abdominal pain, dyspnea and other symptoms.

Of course, the hormones used in IVF are strictly screened and monitored, and doctors will make reasonable adjustments according to patients' conditions to minimize the side effects of hormone therapy.

Surgical risks and complications

In the process of IVF, operations such as egg retrieval and embryo transfer are required. Although these operations are very safe with the support of modern medical technology, there are still risks and possible complications.

Ovarian cyst, ovarian perforation or infection may be caused by ovum retrieval. Embryo transfer may lead to complications such as intrauterine infection and uterine perforation. Although the incidence of these risks and complications is low, patients still need to pay attention and be alert.

Psychological pressure and emotional changes

Infertility is a psychological burden for both husband and wife, and IVF technology may increase this pressure, causing anxiety, depression and mood fluctuations. This kind of pressure may be even more obvious, especially in the case of unsuccessful pregnancy after many attempts.

In order to reduce psychological pressure, patients can seek professional psychological consultation and support, communicate and support with their partners fully, participate in physical and mental relaxation activities, and maintain a positive attitude.

Complications and difficulties during pregnancy

After successful IVF pregnancy, pregnant women may face pregnancy complications and difficulties similar to natural pregnancy. For example, problems such as early pregnancy reaction, fetal arrest, and fetal dysplasia may also occur in IVF pregnancy. In addition, IVF pregnancy is generally regarded as a high-risk pregnancy and needs closer monitoring and management.

Therefore, patients with IVF pregnancy need to have regular prenatal examination and follow the doctor's recommendations for pregnancy care to reduce complications and difficulties.

Summary

In conclusion, IVF does have some impact on maternal health. The side effects of hormone therapy, surgical risks and complications, psychological pressure and emotional changes, complications and difficulties during pregnancy are the problems that IVF may face. However, with reasonable monitoring and management, most patients can survive the IVF process and successfully conceive, realizing their dream of becoming parents.
