The dangers of having sex after egg retrieval

Due to physical reasons, many women cannot become pregnant naturally. Nowadays, a good method is in vitro fertilization, which is in vitro fertilization. What needs to be done is to take eggs from the woman, then take out the male sperm, perform artificial insemination, and then insert it into the woman's uterus after success. Nowadays, the success rate is still very high. However, women should pay special attention to the dangers of having sex after egg retrieval.

1. The harm of having sex after egg retrieval

It is not good to have sex after resting for three days after egg retrieval. It is easy to get infected. It is recommended that you take regular antibiotics for 3 days. No sexual intercourse during the treatment period. No sex within one month. Pay attention to the cleanliness of your vulva and underwear.

2. Precautions after egg retrieval

1. After egg retrieval, antibiotics are needed to prevent infection, and progesterone (such as Duphaston, Enkitan, Progynova, and Progesterone) should be started at the same time. Rest in the rest area for 30 minutes after the operation, and you can leave the operating room without any discomfort or obvious vaginal bleeding symptoms.

2. Avoid strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse after the operation. If vaginal bleeding or aggravated abdominal pain is found after the operation, please go to the reproductive center for treatment in time.

3. After egg retrieval, you can eat normally. To prevent abdominal distension and ascites, women with more follicles should eat small meals frequently and eat easily digestible, high-protein foods. Such as eggs, milk, soy milk, protein powder, lean meat, fish, shrimp, etc., and pay attention to urine volume.

4. If ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs after egg retrieval, we will feel bloated, lose our appetite, experience nausea and vomiting, have diarrhea, an enlarged belly, gain weight, urinate less, have difficulty breathing, and even feel anxious, have a faster heartbeat, and be unable to sleep.

5. After the egg retrieval operation, there will be a small amount of exudate around the ovaries, which may cause mild abdominal pain, back pain and other discomforts, so please rest in bed for 1-2 days.

6. Because the ovaries are larger than usual during the ovulation cycle, in order to prevent ovarian torsion, daily activities such as turning over and going to the toilet should be light, slow and steady.

7. Eat more high-protein foods, such as milk, fish soup, etc., to prevent the occurrence of OHSS.

8. If you experience sudden severe abdominal pain, fever, or vaginal bleeding, please seek medical attention immediately.
