Heparin(usually referred to as low molecular weight heparin) is an important adjuvant in the treatment of IVF, but it is not needed for every patient and must be strictly followed.
Heparin is an anticoagulant drug whose main function is to prevent thrombosis.
,.For patients with certain physiques, it helps improve the blood supply to the endometrium, thereby increasing the chance of embryo implantation. In addition, it also has an immunomodulatory effect, which may inhibit excessive maternal rejection of embryos.
Heparin is mainly suitable for patients with the followingconditions
·Abnormal coagulation function If your body's blood is in a hypercoagulable state, your doctor may recommend usingit.
· Abnormal blood clotting functionIf the blood in the body is in a high-coagulation state, doctors may recommend using…
· History of failed or aborted plantings multiple timesFor patients who have experienced repeated miscarriages or failed embryo implantation, if tests indicate a pre-thrombotic state, heparin can help improve the outcome of pregnancy.
· Immune abnormalitiesIf suffering from autoimmune diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome.
·Bruising after heparin injection is mainly caused by multiple factors such as its anticoagulant effect, injection techniques, and individual differences.
· Bruising after heparin injection is mainly caused by several factors, including the anticoagulant effect of heparin, injection techniques, and individual differences. The specific reasons are as follows:
Heparinitself is an anticoagulant drug that prevents blood from clotting normally. Therefore, during injection, the tiny capillaries that may be punctured by the needle tip will not be able to quickly stop bleeding due to the action of the drug, and bruises will be formed when blood seeps out into the subcutaneous tissue.
.If the injection angle is incorrect, the drug is injected too fast, or the injection depth is too shallow, it is more likely to damage the subcutaneous tissue or capillaries, resulting in congestion. If you are not pressed with the correct method for a long enough time after injection (5-10 minutes are usually recommended), the drug may also seep out of the eye of the needle or penetrate into the surrounding tissue, causing bruises.
,.If the user has poor coagulation function, low platelets or fragile blood vessels, the probability and degree of bruising after heparin injection may be higher.
Mastering the correct injection technique is the key to reducing bruises.
.An area with rich subcutaneous fat and few blood vessel distribution should be selected for injection, such as an area beyond 5 cm around the abdomen umbilical. During injection, you can pinch the skin with your thumb and index finger, insert the needle vertically and quickly at a 90-degree angle, and then slowly inject the liquid medicine. After the injection is completed, you can stay for about 10 seconds before withdrawing the needle.
.Use a sterile cotton swab to press the puncture site vertically for 5-10 minutes, with moderate force and avoid rubbing, because rubbing will aggravate subcutaneous bleeding and bruises. At the same time, pay attention to rotating the injection sites regularly to avoid repeated injections in the same area to give tissue repair time.
If bruises have already occurred, cold compress can be applied in the early stages of the bruise (within 24 hours) to promote vasoconstriction and reduce continued bleeding.
,(24),,.After 24 hours, hot compress can be changed to promote local blood circulation and accelerate the dissipation and absorption of congestion.
,.Because improper use may increase the risk of bleeding and may cause adverse reactions such as hematoma at the injection site. Blood coagulation function should be monitored regularly during medication.
In any case, it is essential to follow the doctor’s instructions and ensure that the medication is used in a safe and effective manner.
