Here's who it can benefit.
, medical director of uterus transplant at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, says doctors usually wait anywhere from three to six months to impregnate a patient with the embryos they froze before pregnancy. Because transplant patients have to take immunosuppressant drugs that, if taken long-term, can come with health risks, doctors usually remove the uterus when the patient is done having children.
But since those who receive uteruses are usually otherwise healthy, it’s rarer for them to experience major complications like someone who received an organ for medical reasons. ”The only issue is the absence of the uterus,” he says. “There’s usually no underlying chronic condition that will affect other organs or systems in the body.
. “For [anyone who has] had any transplant, their risk is the same: high blood pressure and premature delivery,” he says.The majority of the research on uterine transplants is on uteruses from living donors. Falcone says often, people donate their uterus to a friend or loved one after their child-bearing years.
So far, according to Johannesson, there have been about 80 cases of uterine transplants from both living and deceased donors around the world. Testa says there have been around 20 births total from those cases. But there’s no official ratio or calculation, since there’s a lag between the transplant and viable pregnancy.
Johannesson says while uterine transplantation is still in a relatively early phase of research, she foresees it will evolve the same way in vitro fertilization has. “IVF started in the 1970s the way we are starting,” she says. “In the beginning it was for very few people, but now, three percent of all babies are born with the help of IVF, and the success rates are very high. I foresee the same with the evolution and success of uterine transplants.
