Complications of IVF in central maternity
As a kind of assisted reproductive technology, IVF produced by central women can help many infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams, but there are also some complications. Understanding these complications and taking corresponding preventive measures will help to improve the success rate of IVF and ensure the safety of mothers and infants.
1. Early termination of pregnancy
In the process of IVF, the practice of transferring multiple embryos into the uterine cavity provides an opportunity to reduce the number of infertile couples receiving treatment again. However, this also increases the risk of multiple pregnancies and poor implantation quality of individual embryos. Multiple pregnancy may lead to pregnancy complications, such as premature delivery, low birth weight infants, pregnancy toxemia, etc. To avoid such risks, doctors will select the appropriate number of embryos to be transferred according to the specific conditions of patients, and screen the fetus in time to reduce the risk of multiple births.
In addition, poor implantation quality of individual embryos may lead to pregnancy failure, which is not uncommon in IVF. Doctors usually screen according to the maturity and quality of embryos, so as to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
2. Prenatal complications
IVF technology has a certain impact on the health of mothers. Hormone therapy may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which is characterized by ovarian swelling, abdominal distension, dyspnea, etc. In order to reduce the risk of OHSS, doctors will carefully control the hormone treatment dose of patients and monitor the growth of follicles.
In addition, during pregnancy, women with IVF are more likely to suffer from complications such as gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension than women with natural pregnancy. Therefore, women with initial chronic disease history or family history of diabetes should consult a doctor for evaluation before IVF treatment, and take corresponding diet and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk.
3. Fetal malformation
One potential risk of IVF is that there is mutation or error in embryo gene before embryo transfer, which will lead to fetal malformation. To reduce this risk, doctors usually carry out embryo genome screening and select healthy embryos for transfer.
In addition, IVF may be accompanied by pregnancy complications related to assisted reproductive technology, such as amniotic fluid embolism, early separation of placenta, etc. On the basis of preoperative evaluation and intraoperative monitoring, timely diagnosis and treatment of these complications can reduce the risk of pregnancy.
4. Psychological pressure
The IVF treatment process is a psychological and physical test for both couples. Infertility itself will bring heavy psychological burden to couples, and the waiting, tension and worry during the treatment process, as well as the uncertainty of the results may further increase the pressure. Mild stress is normal, but long-term and excessive stress may have a negative impact on the couple's mental health. Therefore, in IVF treatment, it is very important for couples to seek psychological counseling and support in time for their mental health.
Summary
Although IVF is an advanced assisted reproductive technology, there are still some complications, including early termination of pregnancy, prenatal complications, fetal malformations and psychological stress. In order to reduce the risk of IVF in the center, doctors will adjust the quantity and quality of embryo transfer, control the dosage of hormone therapy, conduct embryonic genome screening, and provide psychological counseling and support according to the specific conditions of patients. By taking preventive measures and timely diagnosis and treatment, we can improve the success rate of IVF and ensure the physical and mental health of patients.
