For women who cannot conceive normally, in vitro fertilization (IVF) can usually be adopted. After a strict egg retrieval process, certain precautions need to be taken before and after egg retrieval. Especially after egg retrieval, it is necessary to rest in bed appropriately. So, how many days do we need to rest after retrieving eggs?
Firstly, the number of days of rest required after egg retrieval is related to the number of retrieved eggs and each individual's physical condition. Some women do not feel any discomfort after egg retrieval and can rest for a few hours. However, for health reasons, it is recommended to rest for 1-2 days and not engage in physical labor, do not make strenuous or vigorous movements, and abstain from sexual activity for half a month.
Secondly, during this period, it is also necessary to pay attention to dietary adjustments. The diet should be as light as possible and not too tired. Pay attention to the hygiene outside the perineum in daily life, change underwear every day, regulate mood, and drink plenty of plain water, which is also beneficial for the body and metabolism. Some women may experience abdominal pain after egg retrieval, but there is no need to worry.
On the day or the next after egg retrieval, there may be slight bleeding, mild abdominal pain, and bloating. If there is bloating, it is recommended to consume more diuretic foods, such as red bean water, to increase the elimination of water and alleviate discomfort caused by bloating. At the same time, foods that are prone to bloating should be avoided as much as possible, and can be transplanted within 3 to 5 days.
