What are the sequelae of IVF 40? How to avoid risks?
The development of IVF technology has brought good news to many infertile couples, but it has also brought some potential risks and sequelae. Although the IVF technology has been increasingly improved, there are still some risks. This article will elaborate on the sequelae of IVF 40 in terms of genetic diseases, multiple pregnancy, preterm delivery and mental health, and explore some ways to avoid risks.
1. Genetic diseases
IVF technology usually uses assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), to detect whether embryos carry genetic diseases. However, although these screening methods are very reliable in detecting the risk of certain diseases, they cannot completely eliminate the risk of genetic diseases.
In some rare genetic diseases, the detection of gene mutation may result in false negative or false positive results, leading to the misdiagnosis of diseased embryos as normal. In addition, some common genetic diseases, such as congenital heart disease and nervous system disease caused by some gene mutations, have not yet been covered by reliable screening methods.
In order to avoid the risk of genetic diseases, couples can choose to carry out genetic screening before pregnancy to understand their own and family history of genetic diseases. At the same time, in the IVF process, it is necessary to fully communicate with doctors and select screening methods such as pre implantation genetic diagnosis according to the actual situation.
2. Multiple pregnancy
In IVF technology, embryo transfer usually involves implantation of multiple embryos in the uterus to improve the pregnancy rate. However, it also increases the risk of multiple pregnancies, including premature delivery, low birth weight, and complications associated with multiple pregnancies.
Multiple pregnancy poses risks to both mother and fetus. Mothers may face higher risk of pregnancy complications and delivery complications; For the fetus, premature delivery and low birth weight may lead to a series of health problems.
In order to avoid the risk of multiple pregnancy, doctors usually determine the number of embryos implanted according to the couple's age, birth history, special circumstances and other factors. Couples can discuss in detail with their doctors to choose the appropriate number of embryos to be implanted.
3. Preterm birth
IVF pregnancy is more likely to lead to premature delivery than natural pregnancy. Premature infants may need long-term hospitalization after birth and face health problems related to preterm birth.
In order to reduce the risk of premature delivery, pregnant women need to be regularly checked and monitored during pregnancy, including blood pressure, uterine contraction, etc. If it is found that there is a risk of premature delivery, the doctor may take measures, such as taking drugs to inhibit uterine contraction or carrying out cervical embedding surgery to prolong pregnancy.
4. Mental health
IVF technology may have some impact on the psychological health of couples. Long term treatment process, various uncertainties and reproductive pressure may lead to anxiety, depression and psychological burden.
In order to maintain mental health, couples can choose to join the support group and share feelings and information with people with similar experiences. In addition, professional psychological counseling can also help couples deal with emotions and stress.
Summary
Although IVF technology has brought fertility hope to infertile couples, there are still some potential risks and sequelae. Genetic diseases, multiple pregnancy, preterm delivery and mental health problems are all part of IVF 40 sequelae. To avoid these risks, couples can conduct gene screening before pregnancy, fully communicate with doctors, reasonably determine the number of embryos implanted, and pay attention to their own mental health. Through reasonable selection and effective management, IVF technology can minimize risks and bring healthy babies to couples.
