Prevention of complications in test tube infants with cerebral palsy
The progress of IVF technology has brought hope to many infertile couples, but at the same time, IVF also has certain risks, including cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a long-term disease that causes movement and posture disorders, which can lead to mental retardation and other neurological problems. In order to prevent complications of cerebral palsy IVF, we can elaborate from the following aspects:
Choose regular hospitals and experienced doctors
First of all, choosing a regular IVF hospital is an important step to prevent complications of cerebral palsy. Regular hospitals usually have good medical equipment and professional medical teams, and can provide high-quality medical services. When choosing a hospital, you can learn about the background and experience of the specialized departments and doctors of the hospital, and try to choose experienced doctors for treatment.
Secondly, in the process of IVF, doctors can take some measures to reduce the risk of cerebral palsy. For example, control the use of ovulation promoting drugs, avoid excessive stimulation of the ovary leading to multiple pregnancy, monitor the use of drugs, and adjust the dose in time to reduce the adverse effects of drugs on the fetus.
In addition, understanding the relevant technical level of the hospital is also an important part of selecting a regular hospital. Some advanced technologies such as PGS (embryo chromosome screening) and PGD (single gene disease screening) can help screen whether embryos are affected by genetic diseases, thus reducing the possibility of cerebral palsy.
Reduce risks during embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is a key step in the process of IVF, and also one of the links that may lead to complications of cerebral palsy. To reduce the risk, doctors can take the following measures:
First, control the number of embryos transferred. Multiple pregnancy is one of the important risk factors of cerebral palsy. Therefore, reducing the number of embryos transferred can reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy. Generally speaking, the success rate of single embryo transfer is also high.
Secondly, screening embryos. The quality of embryos is related to the incidence of cerebral palsy. Therefore, screening the quality of embryos before transplantation and selecting better embryos for transplantation can reduce the risk of cerebral palsy.
In addition, reducing complications during transplantation is also an important preventive measure. Proper preparation before transplantation, such as ensuring adequate cleaning and anti-inflammatory of uterine cavity, can reduce the risk of infection and immune reaction, thus reducing the incidence of cerebral palsy.
Pay attention to health care and monitoring during pregnancy
Health care and monitoring during pregnancy are the key steps to prevent complications of cerebral palsy. After successful pregnancy of test tube baby, women need to pay special attention to health care during pregnancy, including balanced diet, proper exercise, regular prenatal examination, etc. In addition, it is necessary to take nutritional supplements during pregnancy in accordance with medical advice. These measures help to ensure the normal development and healthy growth of the fetus.
At the same time, regular prenatal examination is also an important monitoring means, which can timely detect fetal abnormalities and other potential problems. During prenatal examination, doctors can conduct comprehensive monitoring of the fetus by means of B-ultrasound, fetal heart monitoring, etc., so as to find the risk factors of cerebral palsy and other complications as early as possible, and take corresponding intervention measures.
Optimize baby care
Once the test tube baby is born, providing good baby care is also an important link to prevent complications of cerebral palsy. Medical staff can take the following measures to ensure the health of infants:
First, timely neonatal screening. Neonatal screening can help identify potential risks such as genetic metabolic diseases as early as possible, and provide early intervention for the health of infants.
Secondly, adjust diet and lifestyle reasonably. Medical staff can guide parents to feed babies correctly to ensure that they receive adequate nutrition. In addition, providing a good living environment and daily care, such as keeping the baby in a correct position and avoiding long-term pressure on the same part, will help prevent complications of cerebral palsy.
Finally, infant development assessments are conducted regularly. Through regular development assessment, we can find out the abnormal development of infants in time, and take corresponding rehabilitation interventions to help infants return to normal development as soon as possible.
Summary
To prevent the complications of cerebral palsy test tube babies, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the selection of regular hospitals and experienced doctors, the reduction of risks in the process of embryo transfer, the attention to health care and monitoring during pregnancy, and the optimization of infant care. Scientific and reasonable preventive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of cerebral palsy and ensure the healthy growth of test tube babies.
