While we live in an economic society where buying and selling are paramount, not everything is suitable for trade. Young women sell their eggs to pay off credit cards or become surrogate mothers for money. Regardless of the ethical and moral dilemmas involved, from a health perspective, is easy or artificial egg retrieval truly harmless to women?
The number of eggs a woman can produce in her lifetime is fixed.
Pregnancy begins with the union of a healthy egg and sperm to form a fertilized egg. However, unlike men who have a large number of sperm, the key to pregnancy lies in whether the woman is ovulating. That is, a woman releases a single mature egg each month. Only the best sperm, in terms of speed and quality, can combine with this one and only egg, and this is the process of embryo formation.
Mature eggs are produced by normal ovarian function. A woman has a fixed number of 400 to 500 follicles in her lifetime, and ovulation occurs once a month. As she ages, the number of eggs gradually decreases, ovarian function gradually declines, and ovulation ceases, signifying the onset of menopause. Therefore, artificially inducing ovulation prematurely with medication may carry the risk of premature aging.
Artificial ovulation induction carries risks and can lead to serious infertility.
Specifically, artificial ovulation mainly involves using ovulation-inducing drugs to forcibly stimulate ovulation. This process may cause overstimulation of the ovaries, leading to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Ovulation-inducing drugs are hormonal medications that stimulate the ovaries, causing them to enlarge, resulting in interstitial edema and premature maturation of small follicles, leading to the simultaneous development of multiple follicles. Furthermore, young women are more sensitive to ovulation-inducing drugs, and OHSS can cause edema, ascites, pleural effusion, and liver and kidney damage, potentially endangering their lives.
Improper egg retrieval procedures can lead to postoperative complications.
Forced egg retrieval is a practice that violates physiological laws and can negatively impact a woman's health, especially when it involves illegal egg selling. One step in egg retrieval is ovulation induction, which involves administering multiple ovulation-inducing injections to mature several eggs. The eggs are then retrieved via vaginal aspiration using a needle for in-vitro fertilization. However, it's important to note that this procedure is invasive and can lead to complications such as reproductive system infections, bleeding, pelvic adhesions, and fallopian tube blockage, potentially causing infertility in severe cases.
