Lower abdominal pain after egg retrieval

Women's bodies secrete eggs every month, and eggs are an important part of forming fertilized eggs, so eggs are essential for women to cultivate the next generation. Since it is difficult for some people to fertilize an egg on their own, they need to undergo in vitro fertilization. If they want to undergo in vitro fertilization, they need to retrieve eggs. But some women find themselves experiencing lower abdominal pain after egg retrieval. Is this normal?

Is it normal to have abdominal pain after egg retrieval?

When women retrieve eggs, puncture is required, which may cause intra-abdominal bleeding and abdominal pain in women. This situation is a relatively normal phenomenon. If it lasts for a short time, we don’t need to worry too much. As long as we rest for a period of time, the pain will disappear automatically. However, if the pain lasts for a long time and is severe, we just need to pay enough attention to it and go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid accidents as much as possible.

So what should you do if you have abdominal pain after egg retrieval? When women find themselves in this situation, they should immediately rest in bed and gently massage their abdomen with their hands, which can relieve some discomfort. We must not engage in strenuous exercise or physical labor, otherwise it will cause the pain to worsen and have a huge impact on our lives. Women should also adjust their diet structure, try not to eat raw, cold, spicy and greasy food, and should focus on high-protein and high-vitamin food, eat more fruits, vegetables, honey, sweet potatoes and other foods, which can keep the intestines unobstructed and is very helpful in relieving women's pain.

In short, since puncture is required during egg retrieval, it is easy to cause damage to the abdominal cavity, which will cause abdominal pain in women. We don’t need to worry too much about this symptom. As long as we pay attention to care in daily life, the pain will most likely relieve itself, so under normal circumstances, we don’t need special treatment.
