The phenomenon of multiple births A few days ago, I saw a report about triplets in the news media, and as a medical worker, I felt heavy in my heart. “I was shocked. I was overwhelmed by the information on how to have multiples, how to have triplets, how to have multiples with multiples …… and so on. Are multiples really perfect? The hidden worries behind the phenomenon of multiples China is a populous country with a deep cultural heritage since ancient times, and the culture of “filial piety” is the basic moral and cultural code of conduct of the Chinese nation. Therefore, the issue of childbirth has become a deep-rooted principle in people’s minds, and under the guidance of this concept, people have high requirements and standards for childbirth, which makes the emergence of numerous “new cases” in childbirth; the birth rate of multiple births continues to rise, which has become an indisputable fact. In response, the Ministry of Health has explicitly called for the regulation and elimination of drug abuse. Medical considerations on the phenomenon of multiple births There is a certain chance of multiple births, and the chance of multiple births in the natural state is 1:80 n-1 (n represents the number of fetuses in one pregnancy). The development of assisted conception techniques in recent years is one of the reasons for the increase in the number of multiple births; however, with the Ministry of Health’s regulation of assisted human reproduction techniques nationwide and the maturation of multiple fetal reduction techniques, assisted human reproduction techniques are no longer the main reason for the increase in the number of multiple births. On the contrary, the unregulated abuse of ovulation promotion techniques and drugs in human assisted reproductive technology at the grassroots level, and the lack of professional counseling and guidance for multiparous couples, as well as the blind pursuit of irrational fertility requirements by infertile couples, and the failure to go to regular state-approved reproductive medicine centers to provide standardized treatment and counseling and guidance for infertility treatment, are the main causes of multiparous births. The main reason for the “multiple births” incident. Multiple births —– is inclusive? Or more rational treatment? Multiple births should be treated in a rational manner. Multiple births not only expose women to complications during pregnancy such as hypertension syndrome, postpartum hemorrhage, anemia, and fetal malformations (the incidence of fetal malformations in twins is twice that of singletons). Multiple births also reduce the chance of breastfeeding, weaken the infant’s resistance to disease, increase morbidity and affect the child’s normal physical development and normal life later.
