We know that the conditions for pregnancy must meet two criteria: firstly, there must be an egg expelled; secondly, semen must enter the vagina and combine with the egg. However, some men and women may not be able to conceive after sexual intercourse, so artificial insemination becomes very necessary at this time. Artificial insemination is a popular medical method nowadays, which has helped thousands of families have their own children. So what are the precautions after artificial insemination? Friends who are interested in this area, hurry up and listen to the editor to answer.
1. After the artificial insemination surgery is completed, the patient should lie flat with their buttocks raised for 30 minutes. If they feel symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, or vaginal discomfort, they should promptly notify medical staff for timely treatment.
2. Sexual activity and bathing are prohibited within 2 weeks after artificial insemination. Patients can engage in normal work and activities, but should avoid vigorous exercise.
3. Patients who use ovulation inducing drugs and experience symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after artificial insemination, such as bloating, nausea, vomiting, significant weight gain, oliguria, etc., should promptly go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
4. On the 14th day after artificial insemination, patients can use early pregnancy test strips to test for successful conception, but false negatives or false positives may occur. If you want to know accurate results, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check your blood HCG levels.
5. If conception is successful, regular prenatal check ups should be conducted at the hospital. During the 6th to 7th week, B-ultrasound examination is conducted to check for fetal heartbeat to determine if it is normal and the number of pregnancies. If there are 3 or more pregnancies, fetal reduction is required. You should go to the obstetrics department for examination after 3 months of pregnancy.
