Some Causes of IVF Abortion
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help many infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. However, the success rate of IVF is not 100%, and there is also a certain risk of abortion. IVF abortion generally refers to the natural termination of pregnancy after the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus. So, what are some causes of IVF abortion? The following will be detailed from four aspects: nutrition, living habits, genetic factors and hormone problems.
Nutrition
IVF implantation requires a good uterine environment and adequate nutrition supply. If the mother is malnourished, it will affect the healthy development of the embryo and increase the risk of abortion. In addition, the lack of certain specific nutrients such as folic acid and vitamin B12 will also increase the possibility of abortion. Irrational diet structure, unbalanced diet and insufficient nutrient intake may lead to IVF abortion. Therefore, during the IVF period, mothers should pay attention to the reasonable diet to ensure adequate nutrition.
habits and customs
The influence of living habits on IVF abortion cannot be ignored. Smoking, drinking, irregular diet, long working hours and other bad habits will increase the risk of IVF abortion. Smoking will lead to adverse intrauterine environment and affect the implantation of fertilized eggs. Excessive drinking will not only harm the health of the mother, but also may cause irreversible damage to the embryo. In addition, high intensity work pressure and long time work will also make the mother in a state of excitement, affecting the development and implantation of embryos. Therefore, prospective parents should pay attention to adjusting their living habits and maintaining a good living condition during IVF.
Genetic factor
Genetic factors are also an important reason for IVF abortion. Chromosome abnormalities and gene mutations will lead to abnormalities in the development of the embryo, which will naturally terminate pregnancy. Problems such as genetic diseases and chromosome abnormalities may not be screened out by successful embryos, leading to abortion. Some genetic factors are inherited jointly by both parents, while others are inherited individually by the mother. Therefore, comprehensive genetic testing of both spouses before IVF can reduce the risk of abortion caused by genetic problems.
Hormone problems
In IVF, changes in hormone levels may also lead to miscarriage. Hormones play an important role in embryo implantation and development. If the hormone secretion is abnormal, such as the level of estrogen and progesterone is unstable, the embryo implantation may not be firm, and eventually lead to abortion. In addition, the dosage control during hormone therapy is also very critical. Too high or too low dosage of hormone may have adverse effects on embryonic development. Therefore, during IVF, doctors need to conduct precise hormone therapy according to individual conditions.
To sum up, the main reasons for IVF abortion are nutrition problems, living habits, genetic factors and hormone problems. Prospective parents need to pay attention to the balance of diet and nutrition, adjust bad living habits, and conduct comprehensive genetic testing during IVF. At the same time, doctors need to master the accurate dosage during hormone treatment to ensure the normal development of embryos. Through joint efforts, we can effectively reduce the risk of IVF abortion and create better conditions for couples to realize their reproductive dreams.
