Consequences of IVF for the body of a woman

Currently, the IVF procedure is becoming more accessible. In connection with this, the number of children born after artificial insemination grows. Therefore, the consequences of IVF for a woman's body are of interest to many. And before deciding to conduct this type of fertilization, it is worth considering all the pros and cons.

With the proper preparation and conduct of the procedure, the consequences of IVF for a woman are not significant. All the possible consequences after IVF can be divided into two groups:

1. Consequences that negatively affect the child.
2. Negative effect on the body of a woman.

Influence of IVF on a child

We'll figure out what the consequences may be after IVF and the effect of the procedure on the health of the child. It is known that with this type of fertilization the risk of intrauterine development and fetal hypoxia is increased. If a woman is over 30 years of age, and her own egg is used for IVF, the probability of developing various pathologies in a child is increased. First of all, the consequences of IVF for a child are violations of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, neurological disorders, chromosomal abnormalities and other malformations. Also, the complicated course of pregnancy and the occurrence of complications in labor can not be ruled out. Such as premature detachment of the placenta, premature birth and even antenatal fetal death.

The risk of developing the consequences of IVF with the donor egg is much lower. This is because the donor is selected very carefully and passes a large number of diagnostic activities. Including genetic diseases are excluded.

Negative effect of IVF on the body of women

The consequences of IVF on a woman's body can be the following:

1. Allergic reactions to injections. Not a single study is insured against this.
2. Increased risk of developing hypertension during pregnancy.
3. Bleeding.
4. Inflammatory processes associated with the introduction of an infectious agent or with the "awakening" of a chronic process.
5. Multiple pregnancy. To improve the efficiency of the procedure, several embryos are implanted in the uterus. And attach to the wall of the uterus can one, and maybe several. Therefore, if more than two embryos take root, reduction is necessary, that is, to stop their existence. And here there is one more problem - during the reduction of one embryo, all the others can die.
6. Negative effects of IVF associated with taking hormonal drugs.
7. Very rarely, an ectopic pregnancy can develop.
8. One of the stages of IVF is the puncture of ovarian follicles for the collection of eggs. A consequence of puncture of follicles with IVF can be moderate general weakness, dizziness. Such consequences for women after IVF are associated with the introduction of drugs for anesthesia, so they should not scare. Also after the procedure, the presence of soreness in the lower abdomen is peculiar. Possible and minor spotting.

Negative aspects of the application of hormones to IVF

The consequence of an unsuccessful IVF can be serious hormonal failures, which are aggravated by experiences and depressive disorders.

Therefore, it is worthwhile to separately consider the consequences of taking hormones in IVF and their effect on the woman's body. The main consequence of stimulation of the ovaries before IVF is syndrome hyperactive ovaries. At the heart of this pathology is an uncontrolled ovarian response to stimulation with drugs. In this case, the ovaries significantly increase in size, they form cysts. The clinical picture is characterized by the presence of:

• stomach ache;
• nausea;
• decreased urine output;
• the appearance of fluid in the abdominal cavity.

As you can see, health consequences after IVF can be very serious.
