Once female patients are diagnosed with infertility, it is mostly related to eggs. If you want to get pregnant, you need to use ovulation inducing drugs. As is well known, many women have successfully become pregnant while using ovulation inducing drugs. But this is still a medication treatment and there are certain side effects. Next, let's take a look at the side effects of ovulation inducing drugs.
1. Abnormal ovulation in women of childbearing age
Ovulation inducing drugs can cause abnormal ovulation in women of childbearing age. When a woman is pregnant with multiple children, both herself and the fetus belong to high-risk groups, and the risk of reproduction is extremely high. The miscarriage rate of pregnant women with multiple pregnancies is about 10% higher than that of normal pregnant women, the premature birth rate is 20% higher, and the fetal mortality rate is 135% higher. Moreover, multiple pregnancies can easily cause conditions such as premature rupture of membranes, hypertension, anemia, heavy bleeding during childbirth, and even lead to delayed intellectual development in children, with a higher probability of fetal malformations.
2. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
A large amount of ovulation in the short term can cause excessive stimulation to the ovarian endocrine system, increasing systemic vascular permeability. If water seeps out of the blood vessels, it can cause vascular embolism and put the patient's life in danger.
3. Other adverse reactions
Some women of childbearing age may experience the following adverse reactions during medication: lower abdominal pain, breast swelling and pain, nausea, dizziness, weakness, rash, blurred vision, etc. If the patient does not have ovulation disorders, they will not give birth to twins. Instead, they may experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea. In severe cases, there may be a large number of complications such as pleural and peritoneal effusion, cardiopulmonary dysfunction, blood concentration, and liver function damage.
The above is the encyclopedia introduction about the side effects of ovulation inducing drugs. In short, there are various ovulation inducing drugs in clinical practice, which should be judged based on the patient's own condition. The methods and dosages of medication vary depending on the underlying causes. But generally speaking, patients need to start taking medication on the fifth day of their menstrual cycle. Patients must follow the doctor's advice and not take medication on their own, otherwise side effects may occur.
