How to maintain after ovarian hyperstimulation?

Nowadays, many women conceive through in vitro fertilization, but during the process of in vitro fertilization, the ovaries may be over-stimulated. This situation has a great impact on the human body, and may cause nausea, vomiting, lower abdominal swelling, lower abdominal pain, etc. Faced with this situation, people need to take some measures to maintain their health in time. Here we will introduce how to maintain your health after ovarian overstimulation.

The main symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation are nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and diarrhea. If the symptoms worsen, pleural and abdominal effusion may occur. The clinical diagnosis is mainly based on the history of ovulation induction and clinical symptoms. It can be divided into mild, moderate, and severe.

After egg retrieval for in vitro fertilization, if the number of follicles is large, the patient can drink protein powder, winter melon soup, watermelon and other diuretic foods to prevent and relieve the symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation. Patients who only have stomach bloating and abdominal bloating can leave untreated, but should not engage in strenuous activities or stay in bed for a long time. If the abdominal bloating worsens, follow-up can be seen in the outpatient clinic. If you experience severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or other symptoms, you should contact your doctor immediately to take treatment measures.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a self-limiting disease. Patients who do not transplant eggs after egg retrieval or do not become pregnant after transplantation will get better with the arrival of the menstrual cycle. If the patient becomes pregnant after transplantation, the discomfort will continue until 2-3 weeks of early pregnancy and will naturally subside. There is no need to worry too much.

Ovarian care:

1. To maintain the ovaries, you need to conform to the cyclical changes of the ovaries: the ovaries have the follicular phase, ovulatory phase and luteal phase in a menstrual cycle. Chinese medicine believes that the yin and yang, qi and blood in the body are in different states at different stages of the menstrual cycle. For example, the period after the menstrual period is dominated by the growth of yin, so you cannot warm the yang too much, but should nourish the yin and blood quietly. It is advisable to eat light and nourishing foods, such as beans and tubers. The stage before menstruation is a period of growth of yang, and you can eat some warming foods or medicines appropriately, and increase exercise to make the qi and blood flow smoothly, and the menstruation come on time, etc.

2. To maintain the ovaries, you need to base your physical condition on the characteristics of your body: Chinese medicine believes that people’s physical conditions can be yin, yang, cold, hot, deficiency, excess, or partial excess. The foods we eat can also be tonic, purgative, cold, or hot. For example, some female friends have a hot constitution but are not weak. In order to maintain their ovaries, they take warm and nourishing foods such as donkey-hide gelatin, walnuts, sesame, etc. for a long time or in large quantities, which will make the heat or damp heat in the body worse. Instead, symptoms of menstrual disorders and body "heat" appear.

3. Maintaining the physical and mental health of the ovaries is the most important: a healthy lifestyle and a good attitude are better than any other method to maintain ovarian function. Women's reproductive endocrine is affected by the cerebral cortex. People who are long-term tired, mentally stressed or depressed will also have their cerebral cortex suppressed, which can directly affect women's endocrine function.
