Do ovulation-stimulating drugs have side effects?

Healthy adult women only release one egg cell per month, and taking ovulation-stimulating drugs can promote the release of more eggs. Nowadays, many women take ovulation-inducing drugs on their own in order to conceive twins without the guidance of a doctor. In the end, not only may they fail to become pregnant, but they may also suffer from infertility or even other physical diseases. Next, let's understand what are the side effects of ovulation-inducing drugs?

1. Long-term use of ovulation drugs accelerates the onset of menopause in women

The number of eggs is limited, and long-term promotion of accelerated egg growth and maturity will inevitably lead to the rapid consumption of the more than 40,000 eggs stored during puberty. When all the eggs are used up, women enter menopause because estrogen is no longer secreted.

2. Estrogen levels are too high

Because ovulation-inducing drugs block the feedback of estrogen to the hypothalamus-pituitary gland, causing the body to remain at a high estrogen level, it may lead to ovarian and uterine hyperstimulation syndrome - endocrine disorders, water and electrolyte imbalance, pelvic and abdominal effusion and even venous thrombosis. High-quality estrogen can also accelerate the growth of breast tumors and ovarian cysts.

3. Cause other complications. Abuse of ovulation drugs can cause symptoms on the upper body.

If an ordinary person takes ovulation-inducing drugs, the ovulation period will suddenly increase, and the normal body will find it difficult to withstand such changes, which may lead to other complications, such as ovarian cysts, ovarian rupture, blockage, hypocalcemia, uterine ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, etc., causing adverse effects such as liver and kidney failure, pleural effusion, etc. to pregnant women, and even high amputation and shock in severe cases.

4. Indications for cesarean section due to twins

Twins can create indications for cesarean section, greatly increase the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension, premature birth, and miscarriage, and the heart, liver, and kidneys of the pregnant woman will also be overloaded. During delivery, most women will experience internal bleeding, DIC, heart failure, and even shock.
