Effect of IVF Hemorrhage on Infants
Test tube baby is a baby who transfers the fertilized egg into the mother's uterus through in vitro fertilization technology. However, bleeding sometimes occurs during IVF. IVF hemorrhage may have different effects on the health of infants. The following will elaborate on the impact of IVF hemorrhage from fetal development, infant growth, neural development and immune system.
1. Fetal development
IVF hemorrhage may affect fetal development, especially in early pregnancy. Bleeding during early pregnancy may mean abnormal implantation of fertilized eggs or unsuitable uterine environment, which may lead to the termination of embryo development or poor development. Early pregnancy bleeding may also increase the risk of embryo implantation failure, leading to pregnancy termination.
In addition, IVF hemorrhage may also lead to placental dysfunction, affecting the oxygen and nutrition supply of the fetus. This may lead to fetal growth restriction and growth retardation. If the placental function is significantly damaged, it may lead to fetal death.
2. Infant growth
IVF hemorrhage may also affect the growth of postnatal infants. After bleeding, the baby may lose a certain amount of blood, leading to anemia. Anemia will affect the oxygen transport and energy metabolism of the body, thus affecting the normal growth of infants. In addition, bleeding may also cause other complications, such as postpartum infection, which further affects the growth and development of the baby.
In addition, IVF infants may need blood transfusion treatment after bleeding, which may involve the risk of transfusion related complications. Transfusion complications include transfusion reaction, infection and transmission of transfusion related diseases. These complications may have a negative impact on the growth and development of infants.
3. Neurodevelopment
Hemorrhage in test tube infants may have some effects on the neurodevelopment of infants. If the bleeding involves the brain or spinal cord, it may cause nerve damage. Nerve injury may have a lasting effect on infants' motor and sensory functions. Severe nerve injury may also lead to mental retardation or other neurological abnormalities.
In addition, hemorrhage may increase intracranial pressure by causing factors such as retention of hydrocephalus, which may have a negative impact on the neurological development of infants. The increase of intracranial pressure may lead to the compression of brain tissue, which may interfere with the normal neural development process.
4. Immune system
IVF hemorrhage may have some effects on the immune system of infants. When a baby is born, its immune system is not yet perfect, so it is vulnerable to infection. Hemorrhage in the blood may lead to the loss of immune cells and immune related substances, further damaging the immune function of infants.
IVF hemorrhage may also increase the risk of infection in infants. Hemorrhage may cause rupture and contamination of the infected site, thus increasing the chance of infants being infected with germs. Infection may have a lasting adverse effect on the infant's immune system and may lead to serious complications.
summary
IVF hemorrhage may have different effects on the development, growth, neural development and immune system of infants. Hemorrhage may lead to impaired fetal development, growth restriction, abnormal neurological function and low immune function. Therefore, we must pay close attention to and timely deal with the bleeding in IVF to reduce the adverse impact on the health of infants.
