What to do if you have bleeding during sex after egg retrieval

Some women who cannot get pregnant normally will have their eggs and sperm removed for artificial insemination. After successful in vitro fertilization, the eggs and sperm are then inserted into the woman's body. This has been a very popular method in recent years. However, women should take care of their bodies after egg retrieval and try not to have sex in the short term. But what should they do if bleeding occurs during sex after egg retrieval? If the bleeding is heavy or does not stop, the best thing to do is of course to seek medical attention.

1. What to do if you have bleeding during sex after egg retrieval

Bleeding after intercourse is prone to infection, so you must refrain from intercourse now and observe the bleeding. If the bleeding does not stop, go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

2. Drink soy milk every day, it can promote the growth of endometrium.

3. During the egg retrieval period, remember to bring some sanitary pads, socks, and diapers. It is best not to wear a skirt because wearing a skirt can easily cause bacterial infection.

4. You need to eat breakfast in the morning on the egg retrieval day, mainly solid food, drink less milk, soy milk and other liquid foods, and avoid fasting to prevent hypoglycemia. Take anti-inflammatory drugs orally after breakfast.

If strenuous exercise is performed after egg retrieval, it may cause ovarian torsion. Severe cases require surgical treatment.
