Does IVF reduce fetal pain?
IVF pregnancy is achieved through IVF culture with assisted reproductive technology. For couples who cannot conceive naturally, IVF technology is a blessing. However, in some special cases, IVF reduction surgery is needed to adjust the number of embryos. Will this process cause pain? The following is a detailed description of IVF reduction surgery from four aspects: anesthesia, surgical procedures, postoperative recovery and sequelae.
anaesthesia
In vitro fetal reduction surgery, anesthesia is usually required to ensure a comfortable and smooth operation. According to the specific situation, local anesthesia or general anesthesia can be selected. Local anesthesia usually produces numbness by injecting anesthetics into local areas, so that patients can be awake and keep conscious; General anesthesia is to make the patient completely unconscious without any pain during the operation.
Anesthesia operation is carried out by professional medical staff, who will select appropriate anesthesia methods according to the specific situation of patients and the needs of surgery. Under the effect of anesthesia, the patient will not feel any pain during the operation and can safely complete the fetal reduction operation.
Surgical procedures
The IVF reduction operation is usually carried out in a professional assisted reproductive hospital. The medical staff performing the operation have received professional training and accumulated rich experience. The operation procedure is generally short, and the whole process is about 30 minutes. Before the operation, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination and preparation to ensure the safety and success of the operation.
During the operation, doctors will use ultrasound guided fine needles to puncture the placenta and extract the extra embryonic cells. Due to the small number of embryonic cells, the surgery process will not last for a long time. At the same time, the use of anesthesia makes the patient feel no pain during the operation.
After the operation, the doctor will bandage and treat the operation site to ensure that there is no risk of bleeding and infection. The whole operation process strictly followed the medical norms and operating procedures, ensuring the safety and painless operation.
Postoperative recovery
The IVF reduction operation is a minimally invasive operation, which is less harmful to the body and generally recovers quickly after operation. Most patients can be discharged on the same day after surgery. During the recovery period, they need to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue and strenuous exercise.
The surgical wound usually heals itself within one week. The patient needs to maintain personal hygiene and keep the surgical site clean and dry. At the same time, anti infection and analgesic drugs need to be used according to the doctor's instructions to alleviate discomfort and promote wound healing. During postoperative recovery, patients should follow the doctor's advice and guidance, and regularly review and consult to ensure good recovery.
sequela
In general, IVF reduction surgery will not leave obvious sequelae. Since the surgical wound is small and the operation is accurate, there is usually no obvious scar or functional damage after the operation.
However, individual differences exist, and a few patients may suffer from infection, bleeding, pain or discomfort of the surgical wound. At this time, it is necessary to seek medical advice in time and receive further treatment and guidance from doctors. The vast majority of patients can get rid of any problems and return to the normal state in the reasonable postoperative nursing and recovery process.
Summary
From four aspects of anesthesia, surgical procedures, postoperative recovery and sequelae, IVF reduction surgery is painless for patients. The use of anesthesia enables patients to feel no pain during the operation, and the operation process is short and accurate. During postoperative recovery, patients need to pay attention to rest and personal hygiene to ensure wound healing. Although individual differences exist, most patients can recover smoothly without leaving obvious sequelae.
Therefore, for patients who need IVF reduction surgery, they can safely choose this assisted reproductive technology without worrying about the pain during the operation.
