In vitro fertilization (IVF) technology, like a beacon of hope on the path to parenthood, illuminates the way for many families struggling with natural conception. However, like all medical procedures, IVF also carries certain potential risks. For those considering egg freezing or IVF, understanding these risks and taking effective preventive measures is crucial.

 

Firstly, let's understand some of the risks associated with IVF technology. During the in vitro fertilization process, sperm lose the mechanism of natural selection, which may be linked to an increased risk of Y chromosome microdeletion inheritance. Additionally, if a woman's physical condition is not suitable for pregnancy, such as the presence of endocrine disorders or luteal phase deficiency, even if the IVF procedure itself is successful, miscarriage may occur. While multiple embryo transfer is performed to increase the chances of success, it also correspondingly increases the risk of multiple pregnancies, including premature birth and increased perinatal mortality. Simultaneously, the IVF process involves relatively significant intervention in a woman's physiology, potentially leading to adverse reactions such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

 

However, these risks are not insurmountable. Advances in modern medicine have provided us with safer and more effective solutions. For example, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a second-generation IVF technique, involves the artificial selection and injection of the most motile sperm into the egg, which can reduce the risk of Y chromosome microdeletion inheritance to some extent. For women with unfavorable physical conditions, preimplantation genetic testing (IVF-PGT), a third-generation IVF technique, helps to exclude abnormal embryos by screening for chromosomal and genetic abnormalities, thereby reducing the risk of miscarriage and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. When selecting the number of embryos to transfer, single or double embryo transfer is considered a safer option, effectively reducing the potential risks associated with multiple pregnancies. More importantly, choosing a reputable and professional medical institution and experienced doctors to perform the IVF procedure can significantly reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
