Baby management is a technology that brings great benefits to people, and many couples who cannot conceive normally have successfully become parents through this technology. However, the harm of IVF egg retrieval to women's health is significant, with the most common being the occurrence of ascites. Let's learn about the symptoms of ascites after IVF egg retrieval.
Women must pay attention to their weight after egg retrieval. If ascites appears, there will be a significant change in weight in a short period of time. You can prepare a weight scale and weigh yourself on an empty stomach every morning after waking up. If you suddenly gain a lot of weight, you should consider the condition of ascites. Women with severe ascites may experience bloating and significant abdominal protrusion, which requires drinking electrolyte water to help the body absorb these fluids as soon as possible. If there is no effect, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid worsening.
The reason why IVF egg retrieval can cause ascites is due to excessive stimulation of the female uterus during the egg retrieval process. To achieve a high success rate in IVF, multiple eggs need to be retrieved from a woman's body at once. Then women are required to receive ovulation inducing injections, which can cause excessive stimulation of the ovaries and lead to complications such as ascites. Although this technology is already mature, considering the high cost and low success rate, couples who have hope of natural conception are still not recommended to undergo in vitro fertilization.
