What side effects does IVF have?

With the increasing number of infertile patients, IVF has been widely used in clinic in recent years. Although there is a certain history of development, the success rate is not very high. In order to get more and better eggs and improve the success rate, ovulation promotion is an indispensable and important link in the process of IVF, so frequent medication is involved, which is invisible to women.

At present, most ovulation-promoting drugs are hormone drugs, which can be roughly divided into two types: one is to achieve ovulation through the adjustment of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis; One is to adjust the endocrine system in the body, provide a good environment for follicular development and indirectly promote ovulation.

In the process of IVF, what kind of drugs to promote ovulation, how much to use, how long to use, and how to use them all depend on the patient's age, ovarian function, endocrine level and so on. When there are often some side effects, after all, they are hormones.

The common side effects after ovulation promotion are mainly ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and the symptoms include abdominal distension, ovarian enlargement, ascites, nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal discomfort. Mild ascites can be recovered by rest or simple nursed back to health. Severe ascites is more troublesome, and it may be life-threatening if it is not treated in time.

For some infertile women over 4 years old, IVF is generally not performed, because they often have an ideal effect and a great response in the process of ovulation induction, so they often have to stop treatment. If a woman over the age of 35 is a test-tube baby, three embryos can be transplanted to improve the success rate. Sometimes after three births, it needs to be artificially reduced to two births, and there will be certain risks in the process of reducing births.
