Side effects of IVF
Test tube baby is one of the important achievements of modern reproductive medicine, but this process involves many medical interventions, including the use of fetal protection drugs. Although these drugs can improve the probability of embryo implantation and survival, they may also cause some side effects. This article will elaborate on the side effects of IVF in many aspects.
1. Hormone disease
Hormones are one of the main components of IVF fetal protection drugs, but they may also cause a series of hormone diseases. Long term use or abuse of fetal protection drugs may lead to hormone imbalance, such as hypothyroidism, abnormal sex hormone levels, etc. These hormone diseases may have a negative impact on women's reproductive system and general health.
In addition, the use of hormone drugs may also cause some chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis, hypertension, hyperglycemia, etc. Therefore, women should pay close attention to their own physical reactions and consult professional doctors in a timely manner when using pregnancy protection drugs.
2. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
In vitro baby care drugs mostly contain ovulation promoting drugs, which can stimulate the ovary to release more eggs. However, if the ovary overreacts to these drugs, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) may occur. This disease may lead to ovarian enlargement, abdominal distension, dyspnea and other symptoms.
Generally, mild OHSS does not need special treatment and will relieve itself within a few days to two weeks. However, for more serious OHSS, doctors may recommend hospitalization to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. Therefore, when using ovulation promoting drugs, women need to pay close attention to their own physical reactions, and follow the doctor's recommendations for monitoring and treatment.
3. Psychological and emotional problems
The use of fetal protection drugs during IVF may have a negative impact on patients' psychology and emotions. First, IVF itself is a process of emotional excitement and stress, and the use of drugs may increase anxiety and tension.
Secondly, drug treatment during IVF needs to follow certain schedule and dosage requirements, which may bring great pressure to patients. At the same time, the use of fetal protection drugs may also lead to some physical discomfort, such as nausea, fatigue, etc., further increasing the psychological burden of patients.
Therefore, in the process of IVF, patients should actively seek psychological and emotional support, and can alleviate bad emotions through psychological counseling, family and friends' companionship and other ways. At the same time, doctors and medical teams should also take patients' psychological problems seriously and provide necessary support and guidance.
4. Drug allergy
The use of fetal protection drugs may cause some drug allergic reactions. These reactions may include skin itching, urticaria, dyspnea and other symptoms. Severe allergic reactions may lead to serious consequences such as decreased blood pressure and respiratory edema.
Therefore, women should inform their doctors of their drug allergy history before using pregnancy protection drugs and use drugs in strict accordance with their doctors' prescriptions. In case of any allergic reaction, seek professional treatment immediately.
summary
The side effects of IVF fetal protective drugs are the problems we need to pay attention to when using these drugs. Hormone disease, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, psychological and emotional problems, and drug allergy are common side effects.
In order to ensure health and safety, patients should pay close attention to their own physical reactions, consult professional doctors in a timely manner, and follow the doctor's advice. During the whole IVF process, patients should also actively seek psychological and emotional support to cope with the pressure and discomfort in the process. Only by comprehensively considering personal characteristics and doctors' suggestions can we minimize the occurrence of side effects and improve the probability of success of IVF.
