When couples encounter infertility problems, they can undergo in vitro fertilization, which involves extracting eggs and sperm, fertilizing them outside the body, and then implanting them into the female uterus. For IVF, egg retrieval is a necessary step. So, what are the effects of egg retrieval during menstruation?
If women retrieve eggs during menstruation, it increases the risk of pelvic infection, so anti-inflammatory treatment must be strengthened after surgery. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs continuously for several days, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of infections. But everyone should pay attention and take medication according to the doctor's advice.
Usually, women only need to retrieve eggs during in vitro fertilization, but most of them do not retrieve eggs during menstruation. Only in some special circumstances, such as women with short menstrual cycles and low ovarian reserve, will eggs be retrieved during menstruation.
These women have lower levels of inhibin B in their bodies, so their inhibition of FSH may be weakened. During the transition from luteal phase to follicular phase, the phenomenon of elevated FSH occurs earlier, so the recruitment and dominance of follicles will occur earlier. Some women can only have dominant follicles during menstruation. Usually, women need to take ovulation inducing drugs before egg retrieval, which can promote the growth and discharge of follicles.
