Research Progress of Complications Related to Assisted Reproductive Technology

Abstract

Abstract:

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been widely used in the treatment of infertility, including artificial insemination (AI) and in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and many derivative techniques such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), in vitro maturation (IVM), and assisted hatching (AH). With the popularity of ART and the gradual improvement of pregnancy rate, more and more attention has been paid to the complications of ART and the safety of ART. Detection and treatment of complications in time can maximize the safety and high quality of pregnancy, and the good outcomes for patients. At present, the causes of ART-related complications are still controversial. Some studies believe that the increased rate of multiple pregnancy caused by ART or the factors related to infertility are the main causes. However, other studies believe that the factors of ART itself cannot be overlooked. In this review, we analyzed the complications related to ART and the causes.
