7 important things to note after IVF egg retrieval

Some patients will experience vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain after in vitro fertilization egg retrieval, and may also be accompanied by constipation symptoms. This is mainly because after the in vitro fertilization, the body's hormones will undergo certain changes, which in turn leads to the feeling of chest tightness, shortness of breath and chest distension. This leads to anxiety and worry! In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Patients should observe their private parts in time. If the bleeding from the private parts is excessive or lasts for a long time, they should report it to the doctor in time. At the same time, they should replenish the body's blood and qi appropriately to avoid anemia symptoms due to excessive bleeding.

Common problems after IVF egg retrieval! What is it?

1. Rest in bed for one to two days

Some patients will experience exudate around the uterus and ovaries after egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization, causing abdominal pain and other discomfort. Walking around at this time will aggravate the exudate, which is not good for the repair of the uterus and ovaries.

2. Excessive exercise is strictly prohibited

Because of the stimulation of IVF egg retrieval and ovulation-inducing drugs on the uterus and ovaries, the volume of the uterus and ovaries will increase relatively. Excessive exercise after IVF egg retrieval can easily cause ovarian torsion, and will also increase uterine and ovarian secretions, which will have a negative impact on women's reproductive health.

3. Pay attention to the use of drugs

After egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization, you should be cautious when using medications. After the IVF egg retrieval, you need to start preparing for the transplant. If you use drugs carelessly at this time, some of them will act on the uterine wall, thus affecting the implantation of the fertilized egg.

4. Diet needs to be adjusted

Because of the use of ovulation-inducing drugs, patients always experience discomfort such as abdominal distension, indigestion, and ascites after egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization. Therefore, it is best for patients to eat small meals frequently, eat more high-protein foods, and drink more broth after IVF egg retrieval, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort.

5. What should I do if I feel chest tightness after egg retrieval for IVF?

Chest tightness and shortness of breath after egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization are manifestations of uterine and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which is often caused by excessive use of ovulation-inducing drugs, resulting in ovarian enlargement, increased vascular permeability, and fluid infiltration from the uterine and ovarian blood vessels into the abdomen. If accompanied by nausea, retching, oliguria, ascites, shortness of breath and other symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

6. What should I do if I have abdominal pain after egg retrieval for IVF?

It is normal to have mild abdominal pain after IVF egg retrieval, but if there is sudden severe abdominal pain or persistent abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, retching, and sweating, it may be caused by ovarian torsion or ruptured capillaries in the abdomen. Patients with more ruptured capillaries will also show symptoms of shock, such as pale complexion, low blood pressure, and weak pulse rate. These are more common in patients with a large number of IVF eggs or ascites. It is best to see a doctor immediately.

7. What should I do if bleeding occurs after egg retrieval for IVF?

Bleeding after IVF egg retrieval may be caused by bleeding from the needle hole of the vaginal wall or cervical puncture point, or damage to the blood vessels of the vaginal wall during puncture. Under normal circumstances, it is normal to have a small amount of bleeding after IVF egg retrieval, which usually gets better after rest. However, if the bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time, you should seek medical attention immediately.

After egg retrieval, you should rest in bed, keep warm, avoid cold and fatigue. Observe blood pressure, pulse rate changes, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and pay attention to hygiene to avoid inflammation and infection. In terms of diet, eat more foods that are easy to digest, rich in vitamins, rich in nutrients, and high in protein. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods. It is forbidden to eat foods that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, such as hawthorn, brown sugar, peach, red grape, vinegar, lemon, pineapple, kelp, onion, amaranth, garlic, onion, ginger, etc. Some women inject hcg during egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization, which will increase vascular permeability and may cause ascites. Once symptoms of ascites appear, you must pay attention to consult your attending physician.
