Treatment of test tube baby hydrops
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is a kind of baby formed by in vitro fertilization of eggs and sperm. However, sometimes IVF may face some complications, one of which is hydrops. Fluid accumulation is a common problem during embryonic development, which may have adverse effects on the health and development of infants. Therefore, it is very important to detect and deal with the problem of IVF fluid accumulation as soon as possible.
Causes of fluid accumulation
There are many reasons for IVF hydrops. First, the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the uterine cavity may be caused by the development problems of the embryo itself. For example, the thin wall of the blastocyst may cause the embryo to accumulate too much fluid. Secondly, after IVF transplantation, some operational errors may occur, such as damaging the uterine wall during puncture, resulting in fluid accumulation. In addition, hormone and drug therapy produced by IVF may also lead to fluid accumulation in the uterine cavity.
When test tube babies have fluid accumulation, appropriate treatment measures must be taken in time to ensure the health of the baby.
Diagnosis and monitoring of fluid accumulation
Fluid accumulation in test tube infants can usually be diagnosed and monitored by ultrasonic examination. Ultrasound can help doctors determine the location, size and nature of fluid accumulations. Regular ultrasonic examination can help doctors understand the development of fluid accumulation and adjust the treatment plan in time.
In addition, fluid can also be extracted for testing to determine the composition of the fluid, so as to exclude other causes. This will help doctors develop more targeted treatment plans.
Treatment method of accumulated fluid
For the problem of fluid accumulation in test tube infants, the following treatment methods can be adopted:
1. Natural absorption: Some mild effusion can disappear through natural absorption. The doctor will conduct ultrasonic examination regularly to observe the fluid accumulation. If the fluid accumulation does not cause other health problems, you can choose to observe for a period of time and wait for the fluid to be absorbed by itself.
2. Air exhaust: For blastocyst effusion, doctors can puncture the blastocyst and inject appropriate amount of gas to drain the effusion. This process needs to be carried out under sterile conditions to avoid causing infection.
3. Cavity drainage: When the effusion is serious and persists, cavity drainage may be required. Doctors will operate on the abdomen or vagina to drain the accumulated fluid and clean the uterine cavity to prevent infection.
summary
In vitro infant hydrops is a common but important complication. Through early diagnosis and monitoring, appropriate treatment can be taken. Natural absorption, air discharge and cavity drainage are common treatment methods. The specific selection method should be based on the condition and severity of fluid accumulation. When dealing with the problem of fluid accumulation, doctors need to pay close attention to the health of infants to ensure their healthy development.
