Why do three generations of IVF babies feel pain?
With the progress of medical technology, three generations of IVF have made remarkable achievements. However, at the same time, people began to pay attention to whether children would feel pain in this process. This article will explain why three generations of IVF feel pain from four aspects: embryo transfer, drug stimulation, surgical operation and psychological pressure.
Pain during embryo transfer
The process of three generations of IVF included multiple embryo transfers. Embryo transfer is an extremely important and critical step for IVF, but it will inevitably make the embryo suffer some pain. During the process of egg retrieval and embryo culture, the embryo may be damaged or lost, which poses a potential threat to the survival and development of the embryo itself. In addition, the embryo needs to experience changes in the external environment during the transfer process, which will also bring a certain degree of pain to the embryo.
In the current medical practice, doctors will take a series of measures to alleviate the pain in the process of embryo transfer. For example, adjust the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and pH value, and transfer the embryo into the appropriate endometrial tissue to ensure that the damage to the embryo is minimized.
The effect of drug stimulation on IVF
In the process of IVF, a series of drugs will be used to promote the development of eggs and the formation of embryos. These drugs usually include hormone drugs and ovulation promoting drugs, which can simulate the hormonal changes in the process of natural reproduction, thus improving the chance of pregnancy. However, the use of these drugs will also cause some pain to IVF.
First, the use of drugs will cause a series of physical symptoms, including headache, breast pain and emotional fluctuations. Secondly, the use of drugs may cause side effects, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). In addition, drug stimulation will have a certain negative impact on the female reproductive system, which may lead to problems such as weak endometrium and decreased ovarian function.
Pain of operation on IVF
In the process of three generations of IVF, multiple operations are required, such as egg retrieval and embryo transfer. These operations will undoubtedly bring some pain to IVF.
First of all, the egg retrieval operation needs to puncture the uterine wall to obtain eggs, which will bring temporary pain to women. For test tube babies, egg retrieval may lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and other side effects, causing lasting pain and discomfort. Secondly, embryo transfer surgery needs to implant embryos into the uterus through endometrial puncture, which will also bring some pain to IVF.
The Influence of Psychological Pressure on IVF
In the process of three generations of IVF, the hope and pressure of pregnancy make IVF and its family bear great psychological pressure. This kind of psychological pressure not only affects the physical and mental development of IVF, but also affects the emotion and quality of life of family members.
Parents of IVF babies often experience long-term infertility, which will lead to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. This kind of psychological pressure may affect the emotional and behavioral development of IVF through emotional transmission between parents and children. In addition, IVF may face social comparison and psychological adjustment with naturally pregnant children in the future growth process.
summary
To sum up, three generations of IVF babies will face some pain during their birth. Due to the influence of factors such as embryo transfer, drug stimulation, surgical operation and psychological pressure, IVF may suffer some damage and pain in the mother. However, with the continuous progress and improvement of medical technology, people's attention and care for IVF is also increasing, in order to reduce their pain in the whole process of IVF. This also requires the common attention and efforts of all sectors of society to provide a better living and development environment for IVF.
