What are the risks of Shandong IVF?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In Shandong, some large hospitals such as Shandong Provincial Hospital and Shandong University Qilu Hospital have also carried out IVF projects. Although the development of IVF technology has brought good news to many families, there are still some risks to consider. Next, we will elaborate from four aspects.
1. Physical, psychological and financial pressure
First, the IVF process requires couples to invest a lot of physical, psychological and financial resources. Assisted reproductive technology requires couples to undergo various examinations and treatments, such as ovulation promoting drug therapy, ovum retrieval surgery and embryo transfer. These processes may bring physical discomfort and mental pressure to the couple. At the same time, the cost of IVF is relatively high, including medical costs, drug costs and monitoring costs. Couples need to consider their financial situation and whether they can afford these costs.
Secondly, IVF is not a success, and the success rate is not 100%. Couples need to be psychologically prepared and may need several attempts to conceive successfully. The failure caused by repeated attempts may bring psychological shock and pain to the couple, and even affect the relationship between the couple. Therefore, couples should fully understand relevant information and be prepared before making decisions.
Finally, IVF is not only a technical test, but also a process that needs family support. Couples need the care and support of family and friends to spend this relatively complicated time. If family support is insufficient, couples may face more difficulties and pressure.
2. Possible side effects of reproductive hormone use
In the process of IVF, the use of hormone is inevitable. The use of hormone may cause a series of side effects, including but not limited to headache, abdominal distention, pregnancy syndrome, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, etc. These side effects may have some impact on women's health. During hormone use, couples need to pay close attention to their physical conditions, and communicate with doctors and adjust treatment plans in a timely manner.
3. Low success rate of embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the last and most critical step of IVF. Successful embryo transfer is the guarantee for the success of IVF. However, the success rate of embryo transfer is not high. Many factors will affect the success of embryo transfer, including embryo quality, endometrial environment, etc. Couples need to choose the right time for embryo transfer under the guidance of doctors, and pay attention to rest and recuperation after surgery to improve the success rate.
4. Postnatal risks
After the success of IVF, the pregnancy risk of women is similar to that of natural pregnancy, but may be slightly different in some aspects. For example, IVF pregnancy may increase the risk of early abortion, premature delivery, birth defects, etc. In addition, age also affects the results of IVF. Higher age may increase the risk of adverse outcomes such as premature delivery and low birth weight. Couples need to maintain good living habits during pregnancy, and receive timely guidance and supervision from doctors to reduce these risks.
In a word, although the IVF project in Shandong has brought fertility hope to many couples, there are still some risks. Couples need to fully understand relevant information, make full psychological preparations, and work closely with doctors to make the IVF process go smoothly.
