Risk and side effects of IVF success
Test tube baby is a technology assisted fertility method, which is widely used in infertile couples. Although IVF technology has been successful in many cases, it also has some risks and side effects, which need patients to understand before receiving treatment. This article will elaborate on the risks and side effects of IVF success from four aspects: hormone drug use, multiple pregnancy, IVF success rate and psychological pressure.
Risk and side effects of hormone drug use
During IVF treatment, patients need to use some hormone drugs to stimulate ovarian ovulation and promote egg development. However, the use of hormone drugs can also bring some adverse reactions. First, the use of hormone drugs may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which is characterized by abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea and other symptoms. Secondly, hormone drugs may cause emotional fluctuations, insomnia and other psychological side effects. Therefore, during the use of hormone drugs, patients need to pay close attention to their physical reactions and report to the doctor in time.
Risk and side effects of multiple pregnancy
In IVF treatment, multiple embryos are often implanted into the uterus to improve the success rate, which may increase the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy will bring certain risks and side effects to both mother and fetus. First, multiple pregnancy increases the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight, and increases the neonatal mortality rate. Secondly, the mother may face higher risk of complications such as hypertension and diabetes during pregnancy. Therefore, when deciding the number of embryos to be implanted, doctors need to comprehensively consider the patient's age, health status and other factors to avoid the risk of multiple pregnancy.
Risk and side effects of IVF success rate
In vitro fertilization is one of the core steps of IVF treatment, but its success rate is not 100%. The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including the age of the woman, the quality of eggs, and the quality of endometrium. If IVF fails, it may need to be treated again, increasing the economic and psychological burden. In addition, treatment may not be successful without good embryonic development or implantation. Therefore, before receiving IVF treatment, patients need to fully understand the risk of success rate and be prepared psychologically.
Risk and side effects of psychological stress
IVF treatment is a hard journey for patients, often accompanied by huge psychological pressure. Factors such as emotional fluctuations caused by infertility and expectations for treatment results may lead to increased psychological pressure. Long term treatment process and possible treatment failure will also impose psychological burden on patients. Therefore, during IVF treatment, patients need adequate emotional support and psychological guidance to help them cope with the pressure from treatment.
To sum up, the risks and side effects of IVF success mainly include the risks and side effects of hormone drug use, multiple pregnancy, IVF success rate and psychological stress. Before deciding to accept IVF treatment, patients should fully understand these risks, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors to make wise decisions.
