Patients who have been diagnosed with infertility problem are given the treatment of IVF (In-Vitro-fertilization). The treatment is indeed very effective in giving successful results. Before we go further let's understand the process of IVF.
Treatment of IVF
Before the treatment starts, the menstrual cycle is suppressed and then the treatment starts. During the treatment, the women are prescribed fertility drugs which help in stimulating the ovaries. This is a very important process as for conception having eggs in more number is needed and the medications help in doing this.
Once the eggs are produced they will be retrieved from the ovaries. After the egg retrieval, the egg and sperm will be kept for fertilization. This process will be done in the laboratory. After that, the fertility doctor will keep a check on this for a few days. Once the embryo is formed it will be put back into the woman's reproductive tract.
There is one concern that whether the IVF treatment can cause any damage to ovarian vessels and surrounding structures.
Understanding the Situation
- Well, to start with the treatment is very safe and the entire process is done with utmost care & perfection. One thing which will minimize any type of risk in choosing the qualified and experienced surgeon for the treatment.
- This is very rare that any problem can be caused to the ovarian muscles or even its surrounding structure. Even if anything wrong occurs then it is not dangerous and the side-effects linked with it can be solved very easily.
- During the egg collection process, the fertility doctor takes proper care and precautions. The process is invasive and it takes around 15 minutes. The eggs are retrieved with the help of ultrasound because getting the proper image of the bladder, small blood vessels, and bowel is not easy.
It might be possible that the needle which is used to take out the eggs can accidentally hit one of these structures when it enters the ovaries. - After the egg collection, perforation (small hole) of the bowel can happen. This thing can go unnoticed in some cases. Due to this issue, it can even result in pain because there will be inflammation at the peroration site. However, the condition is not dangerous.
- It is also very rare that women can develop an ovarian abscess (pocket of puss) which occurs because of infection or bacteria. The bacteria enter because of the hole in the bowel which is caused by the needle. If this is the case, then getting the surgery is the best choice so that the infection is drained from that area.
- It is very uncommon that blood vessel can get a hole (perforated). When the needle is withdrawn from the vagina there might be excessive bleeding. The bleeding stops and it does not result in any issue.
