What should I do if my breasts swell and hurt after IVF egg retrieval?

When women undergo in vitro fertilization, they need to manually extract eggs for in vitro fertilization, and then in vitro fertilization with male sperm for creation. The chest pain after IVF egg retrieval may be a physiological manifestation caused by the estrogen and progesterone secreted by the uterus and ovaries after IVF egg retrieval, which stimulate the mammary glands. Therefore, it does not need to be treated with medication. It may also be caused by breast hyperplasia. If the chest pain is very obvious, you can go to the breast department of the hospital, or the gynecology department for a color Doppler ultrasound to determine whether there is an organic breast lesion. If it is caused by breast hyperplasia, you can often consider taking breast-reducing capsules.

Why do breasts hurt after IVF egg retrieval?
