Possible physical discomfort of IVF infants after 15 days

IVF is an embryo that is inseminated, fertilized and cultivated in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology, and then transferred to the mother's uterus for breeding. Although IVF technology has achieved remarkable success in solving the problem of infertility, this does not mean that IVF will not face any health problems after birth. In the first 15 days after birth, some physical discomfort may occur. The following will elaborate on these issues from several aspects.

1. Respiratory system problems

After birth, IVF babies may face respiratory problems, which may be caused by premature delivery. Although we have tried our best to provide the best breeding environment for infants, premature delivery is still one of the common problems that IVF may face. The lung development of premature infants may be incomplete, leading to dyspnea and other symptoms. In this case, the infant may need additional respiratory support, such as oxygen or mechanical ventilation.

In addition, IVF babies may also face the risk of respiratory infection, because their immune system may not be as developed as that of naturally born babies. This can cause symptoms such as coughing, stuffy nose and difficulty breathing.

2. Eating problems

IVF babies may face dietary problems after birth. Some infants may have difficulty sucking and need additional dietary support, such as gastric tube feeding. This may be caused by the infant's sucking reflex not yet fully developed or oral muscle dysplasia.

In addition, IVF may also face digestive system problems. For example, infants may experience acid reflux or flatulence, which may require the intervention of doctors and appropriate treatment.

3. Nervous system problems

IVF babies may also have some neurological problems after birth. Premature infants may face a higher risk of brain damage, which may lead to delayed development or cognitive impairment. In addition, IVF may also face the risk of convulsions, which may be caused by process problems in embryo culture or transfer.

Some IVF babies may also have problems such as muscle tension or dyskinesia. This may be due to the poor development of the infant's motor system.

4. Immune system problems

IVF babies may have a slower immune system than naturally born babies, which may make them more susceptible to infection. IVF babies may be at risk of infection after birth, especially in hospital or in contact with other patients. Therefore, it is very important to closely monitor the immune status of IVF and provide appropriate preventive measures.

In conclusion, IVF babies may face a variety of physical discomfort in the first 15 days after birth. These problems involve the respiratory system, diet, nervous system and immune system. Early identification and treatment of these problems will help ensure the health and happiness of IVF.
