Risks in IVF test items
Test tube baby examination is a series of physical examination and examination processes, which aims to ensure the health of embryos and provide basic information about pregnancy. However, like any medical process, IVF testing also has certain potential risks. The following will elaborate on these risks from four aspects and propose ways to avoid them.
1. Damage to reproductive organs
In the process of IVF examination, doctors need to conduct hysteroscopy or laparoscopy, which are invasive operations. These examinations may lead to endometrial damage, uterine perforation, intrauterine infection and other problems. In order to avoid these risks, doctors must carefully assess the patient's physical condition, understand the anatomical structure of his uterus and accessories, and operate carefully during the operation. In addition, a detailed examination and evaluation should be performed before surgery to ensure that there are no potential organ diseases or problems.
In case of genital injury, it should be treated through surgical repair or antibiotic treatment in time to avoid further complications.
2. Risk of hormone therapy
Hormone treatment is usually required during IVF examination to promote ovarian ovulation and adjust the thickness of endometrium. However, hormone therapy also brings some risks. First, high-dose hormone use may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which is characterized by abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea and other symptoms. Secondly, long-term use of hormones may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
In order to reduce these potential risks, doctors should formulate reasonable hormone treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients, and regularly monitor hormone levels and follicular development. If the patient shows signs of OHSS, the hormone use should be reduced or stopped in time, and ascites pumping or supportive treatment should be carried out if necessary.
3. Genetic disease or chromosome abnormality
The IVF test also includes screening for genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities. This is usually done by taking trophoblasts from the uterine cavity or by nourishing embryos incubated outside the uterine cavity. However, these tests cannot completely exclude all genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities. Sometimes there may be false positive or false negative results.
In order to reduce these risks, doctors should develop detailed genetic counseling and screening plans according to the family history and personal conditions of patients. In addition, it is recommended to recheck the abnormal results or conduct further genetic consultation to ensure the accuracy of the final results.
4. Psychological pressure and mood fluctuation
IVF test is a difficult process for both husband and wife, which may bring them great psychological pressure and emotional fluctuations. Infertility itself is a psychological burden, and receiving IVF test further increases anxiety, fear and depression.
In order to help patients cope with these psychological pressures, doctors and the entire medical team should provide psychological counseling and support services. In addition, both husband and wife can seek support from family and friends, participate in relevant support groups or networks, and relieve pressure through good living habits and self-regulation.
How to avoid the potential risks of IVF test
The IVF test involves multiple links and processes, and efforts are needed to avoid potential risks. First, patients should choose a hospital or professional institution with rich experience and good reputation for examination. Secondly, doctors and nurses should conduct professional assessment and monitoring to ensure the safety and accuracy of the operation. In addition, for the examination items involving hormone treatment, patients should actively participate in the treatment plan and regularly carry out relevant hormone tests. Finally, patients and their families should receive psychological counseling and support services to help them cope with possible psychological stress and mood fluctuations.
To sum up, there are certain risks in the IVF test items, such as reproductive organ damage, hormone treatment risks, genetic diseases or chromosome abnormalities, as well as psychological pressure and mood fluctuations. In order to avoid these potential risks, doctors and patients should actively cooperate, select appropriate hospitals and professional institutions, strictly follow professional standards, and provide necessary monitoring and consulting services. Through joint efforts, safe and effective IVF examination services can be provided for patients.
