What are the risks of IVF cases
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF provides an opportunity for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, the risks of IVF are not unknown. The possible risks in IVF cases will be described in detail from several aspects below.
1. Physiological risk
There may be physiological risks in IVF cases. First, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) may be caused during egg retrieval, which may lead to ovarian swelling, abdominal distention, nausea and other symptoms. In addition, some women may have allergic reactions or infections after injection of ovulation promoting drugs.
Secondly, the success rate of IVF is not high, and the chance of every pregnancy is limited. Even if a fertilized egg is obtained, embryo implantation failure may occur, leading to pregnancy failure and abortion.
In addition, embryo transfer is also required in the process of IVF, which has certain risks. Uterine perforation, infection, bleeding and other complications may occur.
2. Mental risk
The IVF case may also bring certain risks to the couple's psychology and mental state. First of all, the process of IVF may bring great psychological pressure to couples. Uncertain results, expectations and anxiety may make couples face serious psychological burden, and even lead to depression and anxiety symptoms.
Secondly, the cost of IVF is high, which requires a lot of financial resources and energy. Economic pressure and lifestyle changes can also cause problems for couples.
In addition, couples may face higher expectations and responsibilities after the success of IVF. They may face the problem of educating children, or the challenge and pressure of people around them.
3. Genetic risk
In the case of IVF, there may be genetic risk. First, there may be problems with the genetic quality of the fertilized egg or embryo, which may lead to some genetic diseases or defects carried by the baby at birth. Although embryo gene testing can be carried out in the process of IVF, such risks cannot be completely avoided.
Secondly, in some cases, couples may need to use donated sperm or eggs, which may also increase the risk of genetic diseases.
In addition, IVF technology enables humans to select certain genes, which has triggered ethical disputes. Potential genetic discrimination and human genetic modification also need to be seriously considered.
4. Social Risks
There may be social risks in IVF cases. First, the popularity of IVF technology may lead to the proliferation of the baby market, increasing the imbalance and competition of the population. In addition, the high cost of IVF technology may lead to unfairness among social classes.
Secondly, the emergence of IVF technology has also brought about ethical and moral problems of life. Issues such as the origin of life, human dignity and individual choice rights have triggered social disputes and moral debates.
In addition, IVF cases may have an impact on family relationships. The relationship between couples may change due to the pressure of IVF, and the increase of family's economic and childcare responsibilities may also cause pressure on the relationship between couples.
Summary
There are many risks in IVF cases, from the physiological, mental, genetic and social aspects. Couples are required to fully understand the risks before making decisions and conduct corresponding risk assessment under the guidance of doctors. At the same time, the society also needs to strengthen the supervision of IVF technology to ensure human dignity and social equity.
