Question

What are the symptoms of hydrops after embryo transfer?

Answer

The main cause of hydrops after embryo transfer is polycystic development, high levels of estrogen, and overstimulation of the ovaries. During the ovulation induction phase, some patients may be stimulated to produce a significant number of follicles. While this provides more resources for the success of in vitro fertilization, it also increases the risk of hydrops. Treatment in a hospital is necessary because premature birth is already a high-risk condition, and with a history of purple discoloration, you have reached the criteria for hospitalization. There are many reasons for purple discoloration in premature infants, which can be categorized into different situations such as respiratory, cardiovascular, and thermoregulatory issues. Therefore, further examination and hospitalization are required.
