Is egg retrieval harmful to women?

In clinical medicine, the method of in vitro fertilization (IVF) egg retrieval is mostly used for women with infertility. Generally speaking, in order to ensure the success of the test tube, it is sometimes necessary to take more eggs from the woman's body. So, is IVF egg retrieval harmful to women? Therefore, this article specifically focuses on the issue of whether IVF egg retrieval can cause great harm to the uterus and ovaries, and makes the following detailed introduction.

After women enter puberty, the process of uterine development depends on the stimulation of gonadotropin, and women of childbearing age produce a batch (3 to 11) eggs every month. After collection and selection, only one mature follicle reaches full maturity and releases an egg cell. Some women will have two eggs develop and ovulate in a month. Other uteruses will close when they develop to a certain level.

A woman produces about 400 to 500 perfect eggs in her lifetime. Egg donation is the use of gonadotropin during a physiological cycle, so that this batch of small eggs can grow as much as possible into mature follicles and complete them. After perfection, they are used for egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization. At this time, the patient has abdominal distension and abdominal pain, but it can be recovered after rest after the operation.

If the patient's body condition is poor, he or she cannot bear it and should stop. Therefore, for young women (under 30 years old), it does not matter much if they have one egg retrieval and take good care of themselves after the operation.

Nowadays, there are many people in society who are not suitable for pregnancy at this time due to work or some medical conditions. They choose to freeze eggs or test tube embryos, and need to undergo super ovulation and wait until the right time to get pregnant.

Egg donation is not recommended in our country, especially for single women, because ovulation induction and in vitro fertilization egg retrieval also have complications, and the severity is unpredictable. Therefore, girls are advised not to go to illegal organizations to donate eggs for money, so as to avoid leaving their lives in pain and regret.

1. First of all: What everyone needs to know is that the number of egg cells secreted in a woman's body in her lifetime is very limited. For a woman, during her reproductive period, she may release about 400 egg cells. The number of eggs decreases regularly with age.

2. Secondly: The main ingredient of ovulation drugs is gonadotropin, which promotes the development of more primary eggs into perfect oocytes, increasing the number of perfect oocytes discharged in each cycle to as high as 10, thereby increasing the chance of successful pregnancy. It will not affect the number of ovulation next time, so it will not cause the number of egg cells in the body to drop significantly, nor will it cause women to enter menopause early. Therefore, it is not easy to cause premature ovarian failure by retrieval of eggs for in vitro fertilization.

3. Finally: After the in vitro fertilization egg retrieval, due to the multiple uterine development, the estrogen level is too high, which causes excessive stimulation of the uterus and ovaries, increasing the risk of ascites.
