Risk and complications of test tube babies in Run Run Shaw Hospital
IVF technology is an important breakthrough in the field of modern medicine, which brings hope to those couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, like any medical technology, IVF also has its risks and possible complications. As a famous IVF hospital in China, Run Run Shaw Hospital actively prevents and deals with various risks and complications.
Implantation related risks
In the process of IVF, embryo implantation is a key step. Although the implantation technology is quite mature, there are still some risks. On the one hand, if the implantation position is not accurate, the embryo may not be embedded in the uterine wall, which may lead to pregnancy failure. On the other hand, if too many embryos are implanted, it may lead to multiple pregnancies and increase the risk of maternal and infant complications, such as premature delivery, pre eclampsia, etc. In addition, infection, bleeding and other complications may occur during the implantation process, which requires careful handling and treatment by doctors.
Accurate implantation position
Run Run Shaw Hospital attaches great importance to the accuracy of the implantation position during the implantation process. Through advanced imaging technology and surgical instruments, doctors can accurately determine the size and shape of the uterine cavity, ensure that the embryo is implanted in the most appropriate position, and maximize the success rate of pregnancy.
Embryo quantity control
The professional doctor team will carefully evaluate and control the number of embryos during implantation according to the specific situation of the patient. They will consider the patient's physical condition, age, birth history before IVF, embryo quality and other factors to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy and ensure the safety of mother and baby.
Risk of superovulation and ovarian hyperstimulation
The purpose of superovulation and ovarian hyperstimulation before IVF is to obtain enough eggs for IVF. There are also risks in this process. First, during superovulation, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) may be caused by the effect of ovarian stimulation drugs, which may show abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea and other symptoms, and even lead to ovarian torsion, thrombosis and other complications in severe cases. Secondly, ovarian puncture may cause pelvic hemorrhage, infection and other complications.
Prevention and treatment of OHSS
Run Run Shaw Hospital has taken a series of preventive measures against OHSS caused by superovulation. The doctor will adjust the individualized drug dose according to the patient's physical condition and ovarian stimulation response to reduce the risk of OHSS. In addition, in the course of superovulation, doctors will conduct regular ultrasound and gynecological examinations to find and deal with possible complications in a timely manner.
Operation technique of ovarian puncture
The test tube baby team of Run Run Shaw Hospital has rich experience and superb operation technology, and attaches great importance to the details and safety of operation during ovarian puncture. Doctors will use professional ultrasound guidance technology to accurately extract eggs, and pay attention to avoid damaging pelvic organs and blood vessels in the process, so as to minimize the risk of complications.
Pregnancy related risks
After successful IVF pregnancy, patients still need to face some pregnancy related risks. First, because most of the patients are elderly pregnant women, chronic diseases are common, which may have a certain impact on pregnancy and fetal health. Secondly, due to the high incidence of IVF multiple pregnancy, multiple pregnancy itself will increase the risk of pregnancy complications and premature delivery.
Monitoring and management of elderly pregnant women
Run Run Shaw Hospital has a special pre pregnancy screening department to conduct comprehensive physical examination and disease screening for patients to ensure their fitness for IVF. During pregnancy, the professional obstetric team will regularly check and monitor the elderly pregnant women during pregnancy to find and deal with possible complications in a timely manner.
Risk management of multiple pregnancy
For patients with multiple pregnancies, Run Run Shaw Hospital will use ultrasound technology and other auxiliary inspection means to regularly monitor the growth and development of the fetus, and detect and deal with problems such as abnormal fetal development in advance. Doctors will develop individualized management plans according to the specific conditions of patients to reduce the risk of premature delivery and other complications.
Psychological and social risks
The psychological and social pressure of IVF on couples cannot be ignored. On the one hand, the long-term treatment process and uncertain results may have a negative impact on the couple's psychology, such as anxiety, depression, etc. On the other hand, the high cost of IVF may bring economic pressure to couples.
Psychological counseling and support
Run Run Shaw Hospital has professional psychological consultants to provide psychological support and counseling services for patients. They will communicate face to face with couples to help them understand and cope with various pressures and emotional changes during IVF.
Economic assistance and cost management
In order to solve the economic pressure of patients, Run Run Shaw Hospital has set up a cost assistance mechanism to provide corresponding economic support according to the actual situation of patients. The hospital also actively explored and applied medical insurance reimbursement and other methods to reduce the impact of IVF on patients' economy.
summary
Run Run Shaw Hospital is a professional IVF hospital dedicated to providing safe and efficient IVF services for patients. Although IVF has certain risks and complications, these risks can be minimized through strict risk assessment and management in the hospital and careful operation and nursing by professional medical teams.
