What Are The Risks Involved In IVF Treatment?

Hello, I am a grade 11 biology student and we are doing an essay on IVF. I was wondering if you could explain some of the risks regarding the treatment. I don't want "it could cause cerebral palsy" i would like to know how the treatment could cause it.

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

IVF mainly cause problems like ovarian hyper stimulation and multiple pregnancy.

While doing IVF we give strong drugs to stimulate ovary. This may cause over stimulation and side effects like pleural effusion, ascitis , breathlessness , weight gain etc. These all are due to estrogen excess leading to water accumulation.

In IVF we transfer 4 to 5 embryo so that 1 or 2 survive . Sometimes all may survive and cause multiple pregnancy.

These are main side effects . Others are like infection , mood changes due to hormone supplement and weekness , failure of IVF etc. Infection occurs due to putting of outside grown embryo.

Hope I Have answered your query.

Regards
Dr Deepika Patil
