Post-treatment of accidents and injuries are unmatched and wastewater joint replacements. Thank you to the modern technology and procedures can now have artificial joints, warrants, donor organs, pacemakers and delay death for longer. But at what price? And that the quality of life we can expect if we depend on two handfuls of prescription drugs, one for our condition and the other to counter the side effects of the first handle? And why we do not allow our health to deteriorate so far?
The technology can not prevent disease and improve well-being and overall health. Technology can not eliminate the cause of a disease or condition. You can do it.
in the last 100 years we have started to believe that these incredible advances in medicine will take care of everything that goes wrong in the course of our lives and we have to do anything we can to stay healthy and well.
20 years ago have become tables when we had a good dose of reality. Drug piggyback a number of side effects and cons-indications some of which can be very debilitating and can significantly reduce the quality of life.
infertility treatments are no different;
There is a place for assisted reproductive technology and sometimes it is the only viable option. But even if you choose this option to try natural methods first, remember that you can actually do both to double your chances of success with ART.
A prospective study, the Association for pre-conceptual health care in the UK shows that couples who undergo IVF are up to 47% more successful if the pre-conceptual care program used first.
The same study showed an incredible success rate of 81% of the designs in infertile couples before. Among those who conceive there was no miscarriage, no perinatal deaths, deformities and any admission of newborns in intensive care. The women who participated in the study were between 25 and 45 years and men aged 25 to 59 years. (Prat. Midwife)
These figures speak for themselves, not to mention the following figures illustrate the financial consequences.
The financial costs of ART
In the US an IVF cycle costs on average between $ 10,000 and $ 15,000. Analysts pointed costs about $ 35,000 per delivery for young women, while medical costs per delivery are more than $ 132,000 for women over 40 years (Mark Perloe, Your Total Health)
Additional charges apply if you choose a donor, artificial insemination and freezing, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis). Health coverage you may not even cover the new procedures, as they have only been around for a short time and the risk factors and generational effects have not yet been established. In addition to women over 40 IVF is four times less profitable. (The Medical Journal of Australia)
An Australian study to calculate the cost of ART was found that the average cost of health care for not giving ART of live births was $ 32, 903 ($ 24.809 if less than 30 years and $ 97,884 if you are younger than 40). The enormous cost of live birth for women aged 42 and over was $ 182.794! (The Medical Journal of Australia)
Now that's a lot of money, especially if the following conclusions are taken into consideration:
Health risks of ART
Studies have shown that IVF drugs are dangerous to the health of mothers and babies and it is obvious that to increase your chances of conceiving of a woman. Multiple studies have documented the high risk of birth deformity and serious health problems associated with IVF births. A Finnish study in 2005 showed 43 per thousand babies conceived through in vitro fertilization techniques suffer from a variety of abnormalities including genetic defects, brain disorders, developmental delays and genital malformations. (Dra. Geeta Nargund).
Dr Alastair Sutcliffe, Institute of Child Health at University College London and Dr. Michael Ludwid Medicine Centre reproductive and gynecological endocrinology in Hamburg, conducted a study that examined 3,980 articles in medical and scientific journals published between 1980 and 2005. The results of the study showed that there are significantly higher risks of health problems in the long -TERM for children conceived by artificial means such as IVF and ICSI. Doctors have advised that children should be supervised to adulthood because there is no long-term data on their health in adulthood.
The study showed that it is not:
· 20% -34% - a higher risk of miscarriage
· 55% - increased risk of pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy)
· 155% - increased risk of stillbirth
· 170% -200% - increased risk of low birth rate
Another 2007 study showed that IVF children visit hospitals more often than children conceived naturally.
Dr Marjo - Riitta Jarvelin, a professor at Imperial College London reported that some groups of diseases such as infections, respiratory and inflammatory diseases and neurological disorders were more common among those born after IVF.
They also raised concerns about the impact of IVF on the mental health of women undergoing the procedures. These abnormal heavy doses of artificial hormones wreak havoc on the body and mind that only women are many state of a woman when they learn they are infertile worsen already troubled and depressed.
Researchers have warned that women who seek treatment for infertility have a rate of depressive symptoms and major depression as high as possible. (Hum Reprod ..)
In light of the many concerns that have been raised among scientists about the increased risk of serious adverse side effects Comhaire F. and A. Mahmoud, Medical Center Urology and Andrology, University Hospital of Ghent in Belgium concluded that:
"The in vitro fertilization treatment and CIHI should be reserved as a last option after evidence based and treatment of patients with the cause of poor sperm directed exhausted." (F. Comhaire and A. Mahmoud, medical center and urology, andrology, Ghent University Hospital, Belgium)
In addition, Dr. Geeta Nargund, reproductive medicine chief at St. George's Hospital in London, warned of the consequences for the reproductive organs of women in adulthood, particularly cancer of the uterus. Dr Nargund note that IVF drugs used by fertility clinics are not regulated, and given that the current guidelines are not mandatory for fertility clinics are free to prescribe dangerously high doses of drugs, but not any scientific evidence that will help women conceive, or what the long-term consequences are.The conclusion is that more research is needed.
Couples are emotionally, physically and financially broke after repeated cycles of IVF. The last thing you need if you do get pregnant, a miscarriage or a baby born again, not to mention the anxiety and financial stress continues in the case of a child with birth defects and frequent visits to hospital or continuing concerns women's health at the approach of old age, where there is already a natural tendency to decrease health.
Taking all this into account (and it's not even there!), Is fair to say that IVF is an excellent solution ADB. Leave it as the last option, after exhausting the natural options that will only make you healthier in the long run. And since you can use health care before conception with IVF, by all means use this to really minimize any risks to your health and your baby (and its indirect partner) in If you still opt for IVF in end.
