What are the side effects of IVF DHEA?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which gives hope to couples who cannot conceive naturally. In the process of IVF, progesterone (DHEA) is often used as an adjuvant to increase the function of women's ovaries. However, like other drugs, DHEA may also have some side effects. In this article, we will elaborate on the side effects of IVF DHEA to help you better understand and cope with them.
1. Emotional fluctuation
Some studies suggest that DHEA may have an impact on women's emotions. During IVF treatment, some women may experience extreme emotional fluctuations, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, etc. This may be caused by DHEA interfering with the balance of body hormones, especially the changes of estrogen and progesterone. In this case, it is recommended that the patient communicate with the doctor and seek necessary psychological support.
In addition to mood swings, DHEA may also have a negative impact on sleep quality. Some patients using DHEA reported problems such as insomnia, dreaminess and decreased sleep quality. Therefore, it is recommended that patients keep good habits during the use of DHEA, such as regular work and rest and relaxing activities before sleep, to help improve sleep quality.
In addition, some patients may also have skin problems, such as acne and rashes. This may be due to the increase of skin oil secretion due to the influence of DHEA, which leads to these problems. If skin problems occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to take appropriate treatment measures.
2. Physical disorders
In addition to emotional fluctuations and skin problems, IVF DHEA may also have an impact on other aspects of the body. Some patients may have headache, stomach discomfort, breast pain and other symptoms. These reactions are often caused by hormonal imbalance, including changes in luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. In this case, it is recommended that the patient report symptoms to the doctor and make adjustments according to the doctor's recommendations.
In addition, DHEA may also affect blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Some patients may have elevated blood pressure and unstable blood sugar. This is due to the effect of DHEA on important body systems such as adrenal gland and insulin. Therefore, during the use of DHEA, patients need to regularly monitor blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and consult doctors for appropriate adjustments.
3. Birth risk
Although IVF DHEA can increase ovarian function, its use may also be associated with some fertility risks. Some studies have shown that women who use DHEA may face a higher risk of multiple pregnancies. This is because DHEA may lead to the simultaneous development and excretion of multiple follicles. Therefore, patients using DHEA should pay attention to monitoring the ovarian response to avoid the potential risk of multiple births.
In addition, IVF DHEA may interact with other drugs, affecting the therapeutic effect. Therefore, patients using DHEA should inform their doctors of other drugs they are taking and receive comprehensive medical evaluation and monitoring.
4. Risk of illegal use
In addition to side effects, there is also a risk of illegal use of IVF DHEA. Because it can increase ovarian function, some people may illegally use DHEA to improve fertility. However, the illegal use of DHEA may cause serious health problems, and without the supervision and guidance of doctors may increase the risk of infertility treatment. Therefore, we strongly recommend that patients follow the doctor's advice and receive professional IVF treatment in legal hospitals.
Summary
As an auxiliary drug, test tube infant DHEA can increase female ovarian function, but there may be some side effects during use. These side effects include mood swings, skin problems, physical disorders, and fertility risks. In order to minimize and cope with these side effects, patients should follow the doctor's advice and regularly monitor their physical conditions. In addition, illegal use of DHEA may cause serious health problems, so we strongly urge patients to receive professional treatment in legal hospitals.
