The reasons for failure when trying to have a child with the help of IVF may be disruptions in the work of the woman’s endocrine system. This was told socialbites.ca by Yulia Sidorkina, an endocrinologist in the Fomina Clinic network of multidisciplinary medical centers in Voronezh.
The results and success of ART and the course of pregnancy largely depend on the proper functioning of the endocrine system and the health of the woman in general. Violations in the work of the endocrine system can lead to the inability to conceive and bear a healthy child on their own, as well as negative consequences in ART (IVF) protocols, Yulia Sidorkina warned.
So, according to him, successful IVF is hampered by thyroid diseases.
“Autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism can adversely affect the status of the ovarian reserve and the quality of the resulting oocytes and embryos. Reproductive losses (miscarriage) in the first trimester of pregnancy in such women are 3 times higher, ”said the endocrinologist.
Also, according to her, obese women face such problems.
“Women who are overweight and obese face the problem of prolonging pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs in 60% of obese women and 82% of normal-weight women within 12 months. Ovulation processes are disrupted. With a body mass index (BMI) of more than 27 kg / m2, the risk of anovulation increases by 3.1 times, ”explained Yulia Sidorkina.
Another factor that hinders the successful implementation of IVF treatment, he called diabetes, which has a negative impact on the reproductive function of the woman.
“Due to angiopathy, ovarian function is reduced. The frequency of non-developing pregnancies increases, the probability of having a live child is less (50%), the risk of congenital malformations associated with high glucose levels and impaired insulin metabolism, ”warned the endocrinologist.
The doctor urged to take care of the health of the endocrine system when planning pregnancy, both with the help of assisted reproductive technologies, and independently.
