For infertile women, IVF can be the last straw in having a baby. Since IVF has been used in clinical practice, countless infertile families have been able to fulfill their dreams of having their own babies.

The idea of blindly considering the supposed dangers of IVF is one-sided. There are also some messy and unrealistic rumors that make many women shy away from IVF. In fact, IVF does not make women age faster, nor does it use up all the eggs inside the ovaries because of egg retrieval, nor does it cause IVF babies to be born with an insufficient IQ compared to ordinary babies.

IVF is not really grown inside a test tube, but is fertilized outside of the body, forming an embryo that is then transferred into the woman's body. Likewise, the embryo grows and develops normally inside the mother's body, and the birth is a normal vaginal delivery or C-section, so IVF is exactly the same as normal babies, except that artificial insemination and embryo transfer techniques are used at the beginning.

IVF requires ovulation induction, egg retrieval, and transplantation, and the main risk in this process comes from being careful of the ovarian hyperstimulation sign during ovulation induction. This is caused by improper use of hormones resulting in overstimulation of the messy coding, over enlargement of the ovaries, unusually large number of follicles, and even ascites, leading to death.

That is why IVF must be done in a proper hospital, a fertility center. Strictly follow the medical advice and the doctor will control the whole process to minimize the risks. IVF, is a technology for the benefit of mankind, and those who advocate the so-called harm, while denying all its points, are either of low intelligence themselves, or want to make money out of it, bad conscience!

Hello, we are glad to have the opportunity to answer your question and hope that our answers are helpful.

First of all, IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that forms fertilized eggs and embryos in test tubes, which are later transferred to a woman's uterus to give birth to a child. The really invasive operation during the procedure is the egg retrieval, but the egg retrieval is done under general anesthesia and the procedure is just a few minutes, so it's not a problem anymore. Instead, what is more difficult to bear is the injections, because for some people this long term torture is hard to control, so you need to be prepared and mentally built up for the long term injection thing as well, and if you use the regular long program, the injections are close to 2-3 months, I think, from the beginning of the lowering of the regulation until the pregnancy is preserved after it is conceived.

Secondly, many people are worried that if 10 or more eggs are retrieved in one go, will the ovaries soon fail and become amenorrheic? In fact, in a natural menstrual cycle, although there is only one mature follicle that ovulates, there are many small follicles that die at the same time because there is not enough follicle stimulating hormone to follow them. IVF uses exogenous follicle stimulating hormone to make those small follicles that are supposed to be atretic to grow up, so theoretically, it doesn't affect the number of follicles in the whole ovary's reserve. Moreover, IVF is only in vitro to let the sperm and egg combination, culture for two days and then transplanted back to the woman's uterus, in this few days time, the fertilized egg has a superb ability to proliferate and self-repair ability, so this technology has been considered relatively safe, complete, and has been really close to our lives, solved the problem of a lot of families, and made a great contribution to us.

In the end, a lot of new technology will have this some controversy, of course we still have a lot of things we don't understand, a lot of unknown things, but I believe that we will get better and better, and time will slowly improve.

The emergence of IVF has fulfilled the parental dream of many infertile people, but many people still don't know about this technology, feel very mysterious, curious with how to operate, what principle, whether it is harmful to women? How much does it hurt?With those questions in mind, here's a little science today!

First of all, human beings conceive a life by the combination of sperm and egg fission, IVF technology is the sperm and egg collected from the human body, in vitro artificial fertilization, successful cultivation for the early embryonic state and then "sent" to the woman's body, to continue to complete the process of conception, so the IVF can still carry the genes of the parents by the mother's uterus conception and production. Therefore, IVF can still carry the genes of the parents and be produced by the mother's uterus~ It is suitable for women with blocked fallopian tubes and all kinds of infertility.

What is said to be simple throughout the process is actually quite uncomplicated and even requires the mother to risk her life!

ovulation promotion

Often, in order to ensure success, women are put on medication or given injections and ovulation boosters before egg retrieval, a process that may involve discomfort, such as nausea, bloating and abdominal pain.

Sperm/egg retrieval

Men are generally simpler to stimulate their own discharge, and special severe poor sperm activity or azoospermia will require puncture, while women are required and can only obtain eggs by puncture, although anesthesia but also need to be carried out with the cooperation of ultrasound, the puncture process is also there are risks, such as bladder injury, pelvic infection, bleeding, and so on.

in vitro fertilization

There is a failure rate, the doctor then selects the most "excellent" sperm and egg combination, in order to save the success rate may also produce multiple pregnancies, later twins/multiple fetuses will greatly increase the rate of twins/multiple fetuses, as is known to twins/multiple fetuses pregnancy, the existence of the risk is far higher than that of a single fetus, including preterm labor, post-partum hemorrhage, and so on!

embryo transfer

The embryos also have to be transferred to the woman's body to settle and grow, where ectopic pregnancies, too low of an implantation or even failure may occur.

No matter which part of the process goes wrong, it can lead to fertilization failure! It can be said that every step is not easy, there are risks, after ninety-one difficulties only to fulfill a dream of motherhood, mother's love is great!

Hi, I'm the chief childcare consultant of King of Children, holding a national senior childcare qualification certificate. There are nearly 5,000 childcare consultants like me in King of Children to provide baby touch, maternal breastfeeding, baby haircutting, nutritional guidance, maternal and child care, growth and cultivation and other services for mothers and mothers, so as to make being a mother simpler!

In the process of IVF, all of us will use a variety of ovulation stimulation drugs, many patients have a misunderstanding of ovulation stimulation, thinking that the stimulation of follicles is in advance of a large number of eggs "advance", which will affect the ovarian function, and even lead to premature ovarian failure. In fact, this concern is completely unnecessary, ovulation promotion is through hormonal regulation to avoid non-dominant follicle atresia, there is no large number of eggs in advance of the role of "advance", and there is no risk of causing premature ovarian failure.

Although human eggs are very precious, not every egg is one of the lucky ones that develops to maturity. At the beginning of a woman's puberty, there are about 40,000 primordial follicles in both ovaries, and only 400-500 eggs are ovulated in a person's lifetime. So where do the other follicles go? They are successively atretic at various stages of development. During the natural menstrual cycle, multiple eggs are awakened each month from the ovarian reserve pool to continue the process of meiosis. During the luteal phase or early menstrual period, we can observe multiple sinus follicles under ultrasound, and the number of sinus follicles ranges from a few to dozens in different people because of different ovarian reserve functions. However, as a single-fetus animal, only one follicle develops and matures each month, which is the dominant follicle, while the other non-dominant follicles have no choice but to "run with it", and are sacrificed without the opportunity to grow to maturity. Until scientists discovered the mechanism of follicle development regulated by reproductive hormones, we can regulate hormone levels, so that the follicles that would otherwise be atretic will also develop, which increases the number of eggs retrieved in a single session and reduces the patient's pain of repeated multiple egg retrieval. So there is no so-called "open source", but rather a "throttling" effect that allows multiple follicles to develop.

So does hormone therapy increase the risk of gynecologic tumors? This is not something you should worry about, large sample clinical trials as well as basic research do not suggest that IVF medication has increased the risk of breast cancer, endometrial cancer and other tumors.

In patients with a history of polycystic ovaries, a follicle count greater than 15-20 during ovulation induction, and estrogen levels higher than 5000 pg/ml, it is important to be aware of the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Patients with mild cases can recover with rest, water and protein supplementation. Patients with severe cases are at risk of complications such as chest and abdominal effusions as well as thrombosis, so it is important to seek prompt medical attention, respond to the doctor about the discomfort and give symptomatic treatment.

Once ovulation is complete it is time for the egg retrieval stage, which is a process of removing the eggs by passing a puncture needle through the vagina into the follicles of the ovaries under the guidance of a vaginal ultrasound probe. The entire procedure is performed under anesthesia usually in less than 30 minutes. The risks associated with egg retrieval include bleeding and infection. The incidence of vaginal bleeding after egg retrieval is about 0.5% and intra-abdominal bleeding is less than 0.02%. The incidence of infection is about 0.03% to 0.6%. So for the vast majority of patients, egg retrieval is very safe with minimal damage.

After all the trials and tribulations, we were lucky enough to make it to the transfer stage. Embryo transfer is an ultrasound-guided procedure where the embryos are driven through a thin transfer tube into the uterine cavity. The whole process is non-invasive and not even felt, and after the transfer you can move around normally after just lying flat for a while.

IVF does not harm the function of a woman's ovaries or increase the risk of disease in other organs. You should adjust your mood, avoid excessive stress and anxiety, and get ready for your ovulation cycle.

How harmful is IVF to women? I feel like it's much worse than a c-section.

1. IVF equipment

Although there are newer iterations of the equipment used for IVF, their success rate is not as high as advertised. According to our friends at the hospital, the success rate of the third generation is just around 50%. It also depends on the region, the IVF technology in the first-tier cities will be relatively better, some places may still use the second generation or even the first generation of equipment, those equipment will be more harmful to the human body.

2. Psychological and physiological effects on women

IVF is not a pregnancy in a normal state, but a procedure for some families who are unable to conceive normally. Since it is not a regular pregnancy, such a family, itself, should have suffered a huge blow of not being able to get pregnant normally. When they decide to undergo IVF, although they have done their thinking well, the mental and physical pressure is even greater when they actually undergo a series of IVF operations. Reported hope is also very big, but because of the technology of the success rate where, all many people IVF also failed after the blow that is really not ordinary people can withstand.

3. Cost aspects

The cost of IVF is not cheap, the general need for about 50,000, to go to better equipped hospitals such as Shenzhen's three hospitals, the fee will be relatively high 8-12 million, some people are still not assured, go to Hong Kong or abroad to do it, the cost is even better, usually more than 150,000 yuan.

One of my classmates was pregnant in her second year of marriage, and she went for a checkup at 17 weeks, and the results were not available until 20 weeks (I forget what the checkup was called). There was something wrong with the baby, and the doctor didn't recommend having it, so the baby was aborted. At this time can only be induced labor. But they did not give up ah, the next year is the same situation, this time finally die of their own birth.

At that time, my advice to him was to either adopt one, which would be too damaging to his wife's health. As a result, they went to Hong Kong for IVF and the results were also very unsatisfactory.

As luck would have it, only two fertilized eggs were healthy, but when they were transplanted to the uterus, for some reason, they didn't develop. They don't have any children until now. Once he called me and said, "I didn't realize until I did one IVF procedure that money is like paper." They spent 200,000 dollars and it failed. Not only did it cost money, it was even more devastating for their family. Especially his wife, the physical damage was worse and the mental stress was greater.

4. Injuries from ovulation-promoting drugs

A woman normally ovulates one egg a month, and ovulation promotion is to make a woman ovulate several or a dozen at a time, all of which are done through medicated hormones that advance ovulation. At least in my conception, this practice is to let women advance the next few years or even a dozen years in advance, which will accelerate the aging of women.

Xiong Zhaogang, Xi'an Chest Hospital

The technique of "in vitro fertilization" is commonly known as "in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer", which is not the actual birth of a child in a test tube. The specific process is as follows: through ovulation promotion or natural cycle conditioning, the eggs are removed from the woman's ovaries and the man's sperm are removed at the same time, and the medical professionals combine the eggs and sperm and cultivate them into embryos, which are then transplanted into the uterine cavity after 3-5 days to complete the implantation and pregnancy.

With the development of IVF technology, it has solved the unfortunate problem of many families not being able to have a baby, and has greatly contributed to social stability and family happiness. Since the birth of the first IVF case in 1978, 4 million IVF babies have been born worldwide. At this stage, the technology has become mature and relatively safe. But after all, it is not natural conception, and the IVF technology still has certain effects on pregnant women.

It has been found that IVF can lead to a number of complications in pregnant women, including pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, thrombophilia, and postoperative ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This is because the use of drugs such as exogenous gonadotropins may lead to the development of postoperative ovarian overstimulation syndrome, which in severe cases requires termination of pregnancy [1]. Early use of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which, together with hypercoagulation during pregnancy, results in an elevated incidence of hypertension and susceptibility to embolism, which can reach 21.8% and 43.6%, respectively [2]. In the literature, the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus is generally high and can reach about 8% [3].

The risks mentioned above are objective, therefore, a reasonable preoperative assessment is important so that the woman's risk of complications can be reduced.

This is different from person to person, for example, I my husband moderate spermatorrhea, two years ago did we choose my IVF, when the eggs 35 Rose, ascites serious, the stomach rises like the fourth month of pregnancy, the pain of their own can not walk, and then experienced three transplants did not conceive, the mental stress is very large, the body probably more than 200 injections, to the current fall of the lumbar pain, irregular menstruation, the body of the hairy, two years has not been I have not been able to recover from it for two years!

It would be wrong to say that there is no harm, but I can't explain exactly what the harm is, except to advise those who are fine not to take the IVF option lightly!

However, now we have been married for seven years has not been a baby, really do not know what to do, nothing to do themselves often secretly shed tears, today I want to understand the problem of borrowed sperm, I hope that professionals to give the answer, the best can be given to recommend a hospital!

Does IVF hurt women?

The biggest hurt in this world for women is being a woman and not being able to have a child. When God grants an infertile woman a child, all other kinds of harms are acceptable in the eyes of a woman. Modern women are happy and lucky, since the technology of IVF (Embryo Transfer Assisted Reproduction), more women have fulfilled their dream of becoming a mother.

In answering the question of whether IVF is harmful to women, let's first look at the IVF process.

The picture above is the basic flow chart, many moms and dads look at the text may be confused, then look at the specific picture, so more detailed it.

The main damages of IVF to the mother include: ovulation induction, egg retrieval, embryo implantation, and luteal support. The most painful of these would be the two aspects of ovulation and luteal support. In the clinic, I have seen a baby mama even have life-threatening complications due to over-stimulation of ovaries. There is also luteal support, nowadays assisted reproductive technology, the pursuit of high success rate, in the luteal support, but also excessive use of drugs, regardless of whether it is useful or not, used to say, sometimes it is a kind of destruction of women. Personally, I feel that these two aspects of the female damage is greater, as for egg retrieval, embryo implantation, I feel that the damage is not great.

To summarize, I personally feel that IVF can still damage women, but not much, if it was a lot, would so many people still do IVF (embryo transfer assisted reproduction). I wish you a good pregnancy.

There are questions that ask questions in a way that is inherently problematic, and there are questions that give a pseudo-proposition in and of themselves. Not answering a question for the sake of answering it is the bottom line for the little superhero.

The pros definitely outweigh the cons for women who want to do IVF, but the dangers do outweigh the dangers for women who want to make money off of this technique (more on this later).

Whether conceived naturally or through assisted reproduction, having a baby is a risky process and a test of a woman's body.

For women who have fertility requirements but have never been able to conceive naturally, IVF technology is undoubtedly an angel from the stars.

1. The IVF technique starts with perfecting the relevant examinations, especially the ovarian function and endometrial tolerance, and the semen examination of the husband.

2. The woman is then ovulated to obtain a certain number of eggs and the man a certain number of sperm.

3. Allow the egg and sperm to combine and grow outside of the body.

4. Cultivated embryos are transferred into the uterus of the child, and the embryos need to be closely monitored after implantation until it is determined that the embryos are viable and that the primitive cardiac tubular pulsations are seen on ultrasound.

5. The course of subsequent pregnancies is the same as for women who conceive normally.

One of the IVF techniques that can have a greater risk for women is ovarian hyperstimulation sign (OHSS), the etiology of which is currently unknown. It is a process of ovulation promotion that causes excessive follicular development in the ovaries, leading to blood concentration and plasma extravasation in the patient, pleural fluid, ascites, decreased urinary output, and impairment of liver and kidney function, which, in severe cases, can be life-threatening.

In regular medical facilities and fertility centers, doctors control the concentration and dosage of hcg to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

However, some underground organizations, for the sake of profit and obtaining more eggs from women, often do whatever they can with very large doses of hcg, so the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is also greatly increased! The operation process does not pay attention to asepsis, causing pelvic inflammatory disease or even pelvic abscess in the egg donor.

We would also like to advise all young girls not to take shortcuts when they are short of money. Donating eggs to underground organizations can be very physically hazardous to you and can be life-threatening in serious cases.

All the gifts that seem to come from above, in fact, in the dark are marked with a price, you now think it is worth it, is that there are countless other costs behind.

First of all, the question of whether it's worth it or not should depend on the individual; if the other person thinks it's worth it, then it's worth it, after all, it's what they crave.

Then, we focus on the issue of IVF harming women.

On the point of harm, we associate it more often:Ovaries and uterus。

Because of IVF, ovulation induction is required, which stimulates the ovaries more or less. But generallyOvarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHS) occurs only when the type and dose of ovulation stimulating drugs are not chosen properly, or when the ovaries are weak.

This condition, mildly manifested as lower abdominal distension and mild lower abdominal pain, can be slowly recovered by generally drinking more water and avoiding strenuous exercise. In severe cases, there will be pleural fluid, ascites, or cause respiratory distress, impaired liver and kidney function, and even life-threatening effects, but the incidence generally does not exceed 3%.

There are also people who are afraid that they will get ovarian or uterine cancer after IVF. In fact, there are now large samples of surveys showing thatA scientifically sound ovulation promotion program does not increase the incidence of ovarian or uterine cancer.This is so because during ovulation promotion, women often have ultrasounds, and the likelihood of finding ovarian abnormalities increases, rather than being caused by IVF.21
