How long after IVF egg retrieval can I have sex? How to avoid ascites after IVF egg retrieval?

IVF egg retrieval causes some trauma to the female private parts. So how long will it take before you can have sex after IVF egg retrieval? How to avoid ascites after IVF egg retrieval? What precautions should female patients take after IVF egg retrieval?

Generally, the embryo will be transferred 3-5 days after the IVF egg is retrieved, and you cannot have sex during these days. In addition, the embryo is still unstable a few days after the IVF transfer, and sexual intercourse will affect the implantation of the embryo, which can easily induce habitual miscarriage and threatened miscarriage, etc. If there is inflammation in the reproductive organs, it will also affect the success rate of IVF.

In order to avoid inflammation and other problems after egg retrieval, it is better to wait for half a month before having sex. In addition, the doctor said that ascites should be avoided after egg retrieval for IVF. At this time, you can eat more diuretic foods. In addition, protein is conducive to the recovery of the ovaries, so you can eat more. I wish you a happy pregnancy!

IVF surgery is an important way to treat infertility. During the treatment, women will be stimulated to ovulate and have their eggs retrieved. Many women will experience ascites after egg retrieval, which makes IVF patients worried. So how to prevent ascites after IVF egg retrieval?

In vitro fertilization ovulation induction and egg retrieval are prerequisites for the implementation of the IVF operation. In a woman's natural cycle, only one dominant follicle develops. If only one egg and sperm are used to cultivate embryos, there may not be enough embryos available for transplantation, so IVF down-regulation ovulation induction is needed.

The main reason for ascites after IVF is the development of multiple follicles and excessive estrogen, which induces ovarian hyperstimulation. During the ovulation induction stage, some patients will stimulate a considerable number of follicles (usually relatively young patients with better ovarian function). Because on the one hand, ovulation induction provides more resources for the success of IVF surgery, but on the other hand, it also increases the risk of ascites.

If you have ascites after egg retrieval, if it is mild, it is recommended to eat more protein-rich foods and foods that facilitate urination, such as meat, which is high in protein, and winter melon soup.

If a female friend has severe ascites, please contact a doctor in time, and the doctor will treat the patient based on the cause of the ascites.

The general principle of dietary care for patients with ovarian hyperstimulation is to encourage eating small and frequent meals, light and easy to digest, high-protein, high-vitamin, low-salt and low-fat diets; ensure adequate daily intake of dietary fiber; encourage drinking small amounts of water multiple times. When nausea and vomiting are more frequent, light and easy-to-digest liquid or semi-liquid diets can be used as the main food to ensure daily energy intake and supplementation, while paying attention to keeping the mouth clean and hygienic. Liquid diet refers to food in a liquid state that can melt into liquid in the mouth, is easy to swallow, is conducive to digestion and absorption, and is non-irritating. The number of meals per day can be increased to 6 to 7 times, with 200 to 400 ml supplied every 2 to 3 hours. Liquid foods include: vegetable juice, rice soup, milk, soy milk, fruit juice, etc. Semi-liquid food is a diet between soft rice and liquid, with a soft texture, easy to chew, easy to swallow, and easy to digest.

Semi-liquid food:

1. Staple foods: rice porridge, millet porridge, noodles, noodles, pasta, wontons, bread, toast, cakes, biscuits, soda crackers, small buns, small flower rolls, lotus root starch, etc.

2. Side dishes: egg custard, minced meat, chopped vegetables, tofu, etc.

High protein foods:

1. Eggs: chicken eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, etc.;

2. Fish, shrimp and crab;

3. Poultry meat: chicken, duck, goose, quail, etc.;

4. Livestock meat: cattle, sheep, pork, etc.;

5. Soybeans: soybeans, green beans and black beans, among which soybeans have the highest nutritional value;

6. Dried fruits: sesame seeds, melon seeds, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, etc.

Stay hydrated

Normal people generally need to drink 2000-2500ml of water every day, and about 3000ml in summer. The daily urine volume is 1000~2000ml. Because the blood of patients with ovarian hyperstimulation is concentrated and pleural effusion and ascites are easily formed, the daily water intake should be increased, and attention should be paid to changes in weight, waist circumference and urine volume.

1. On the day of egg retrieval, if you experience low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, pale complexion, abnormal bleeding, difficulty urinating, or high fever, please return to the emergency department of the National Taiwan University Hospital and go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for emergency treatment.

2. Be sure to rest on the day the egg retrieval surgery is completed.

3. On the day of egg retrieval, progesterone and HCG have been injected in the recovery room. Please contact your egg retrieval doctor whether you need to be injected with progesterone and HCG in the future.

4. If the wound hurts, take the medicine according to the instructions on the medicine bag.

5. Please keep the wound clean. There is no need to remove the stitches. You can also take a shower.

6. If you use vaginal egg retrieval, there will be a little brown bleeding on the day and the next day. This is normal and the pain will disappear in 2-3 days.

7. Usually after egg retrieval, you can come back for embryo implantation 3 days later. Some embryos can be cultured until the sixth day. After egg retrieval, the doctor will inform you when to perform the IVF transplant surgery.

8. After the embryo is implanted, you need to take medications and injections according to the doctor's instructions, as well as the time for the next blood draw in the hospital to determine whether you are pregnant.

IVF experts recommend that in addition to the above precautions, infertile patients should also have a reasonable diet after egg retrieval for IVF, eat more foods that are beneficial to the growth of the endometrium, and prepare for the IVF transplantation operation to increase the success rate of IVF.
