Whether night injection of test tube baby will lead to multiple pregnancy
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who are difficult to conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. During this process, some patients may need to receive ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. Some people worry that these drugs will lead to multiple pregnancy, and IVF itself has a higher risk of multiple pregnancy. The following will elaborate on whether night acupuncture for IVF will lead to multiple pregnancy from the aspects of background, mechanism of night acupuncture, data statistics and clinical practice.
background
Test tube baby aims to solve the problem of infertility, in which multiple oocyte stage is one of the factors with higher success rate. However, multiple oocyte stage also increases the risk of multiple pregnancy. In order to improve the success rate, doctors sometimes use night acupuncture to stimulate the ovaries of patients, improve the development of follicles and ovulation, which also increases the risk of multiple pregnancy to a certain extent.
Mechanism of Night Acupuncture
Night acupuncture is an ovulation promoting drug. Its main component is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which can promote follicular development and ovulation. By injecting night acupuncture, the ovaries can release mature eggs, thus improving the chance of pregnancy. However, the use of night acupuncture also increases the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple mature eggs may develop into embryos after fertilization, which increases the possibility of multiple pregnancies.
In addition, night acupuncture can also improve the ovarian luteal function, increase the secretion of lutein, maintain the stability of endometrium, which is conducive to the sustainable development of embryo implantation and pregnancy. However, the increase of lutein may also lead to multiple pregnancy.
Data statistics and clinical practice
A large number of data statistics and clinical practice have confirmed that night injection of IVF will indeed increase the risk of multiple pregnancy. According to one study, the success rate of single pregnancy is usually about 20% to 30%, while the success rate of twin pregnancy is 10% to 25%. This indicates that there is a higher possibility of multiple pregnancy after night injection of IVF.
In this regard, hospitals and doctors around the world have taken measures to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy. They will adjust the dosage and timing of night acupuncture according to the patient's age, ovarian activity, egg quality and other factors. At the same time, for some patients with higher risk of multiple pregnancy, such as older women or women with ovarian cysts, doctors may reduce or cancel the use of night acupuncture to reduce the possibility of multiple pregnancy.
summary
Night injection of IVF will increase the risk of multiple pregnancy. Night acupuncture, as an ovulation promoting drug, can stimulate the ovary to produce more eggs, but it may also lead to multiple eggs developing into embryos, resulting in multiple pregnancies. In order to reduce such risks, doctors will adjust the dose and use time of night acupuncture according to individual conditions. Nevertheless, IVF is still a safe and effective fertility assistance technology. Through scientific and reasonable operation and reasonable medical guidance, the risk of multiple pregnancy can be controlled.
