What are the sequelae of test tube babies in Shandong?
As an important achievement of modern reproductive medicine, IVF technology provides hope for couples with fertility disorders. However, although IVF technology has achieved some success, it may also lead to some potential sequelae in the process. The following will be discussed from the four aspects of physiology, psychology, society and economy.
Physiological sequelae
The physiological sequelae of IVF mainly include multiple pregnancy, premature delivery and birth defects. Because multiple embryos are usually implanted during IVF, the risk of multiple pregnancy is high. Multiple pregnancies increase the risk of maternal and fetal complications, such as premature delivery, low birth weight and congenital abnormalities. In addition, due to technical limitations or operational errors, some IVF babies may have some physiological defects at birth, such as congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, etc.
At the same time, IVF babies may also face problems of poor physical development or growth retardation during their growth. These sequelae may have a certain impact on children's health and development.
Psychological sequela
IVF is usually a process of long-term distress and pain for couples. On the one hand, the constant failure of IVF may bring depression and psychological pressure to couples. On the other hand, after the successful birth of IVF, couples may experience anxiety, self blame and excessive expectations of their children, which may have a certain negative impact on their mental health.
In addition, IVF may also face the pressure of identity and family relations. Different from natural pregnancy, there may be some biological differences between IVF children and their parents, which may affect their mental health. At the same time, IVF may also face wait-and-see and questioning from relatives, friends and society, which will lead to increased psychological pressure.
Social sequela
The social sequelae related to IVF are mainly manifested in the debate and controversy over IVF. In some social and cultural environments, IVF technology is regarded as interference with natural laws, and there are moral and ethical disputes. Such debates and controversies may not only cause trouble and anxiety to IVF families, but also affect the willingness of high-risk groups to accept IVF technology.
In addition, because IVF technology is relatively expensive and has high technical requirements, some couples who cannot afford IVF feel frustrated and helpless. Therefore, the social sequela of IVF technology is also reflected in the social injustice caused by the uneven distribution of resources.
Economic sequela
As a high-tech medical service, the cost of IVF is relatively high, and it requires many attempts to succeed in most cases. Therefore, IVF will bring greater financial burden to couples. For some couples with poor economic conditions, IVF may become an unbearable burden, leading to the deterioration of family financial situation.
Summary
In conclusion, Shandong IVF may have some potential sequelae. Physiological sequelae mainly include multiple pregnancy, premature delivery and birth defects; Psychological sequelae include anxiety, self blame and identity problems; The social sequelae are mainly debate and controversy; The economic sequela is mainly reflected in the increased economic burden. Although IVF technology provides hope for many couples to realize their dream of childbirth, we should also recognize the risks and challenges, and strive to find better solutions to reduce the occurrence of sequelae.
