Every woman who does IVF, after the embryo transfer, will be very worried, for fear that it will lead to the failure of the transfer, so that all the efforts and hard work in the early stage will be in vain, and the hope of a good pregnancy will be disappointed again. Among them, abdominal pain is a relatively common symptom that tends to make patients distracted. Today, we will summarize the reasons for this situation and how IVF doctors can deal with it
1. What is the cause of abdominal pain after embryo transfer?
After IVF transplantation, many women will have some reactions, with good signs and bad signs, and the same is true for abdominal pain. After the embryo is implanted into the female uterine cavity, everyone's reaction and sensitivity are different, some people may be unconscious, some people will have abdominal pain, and abdominal pain is caused by many reasons, some may be normal physiological reactions, and some may also be sudden abnormalities, which need to vary from person to person.
In summary, there are three reasons and manifestations:
1. Normal physiological phenomena.
For slight abdominal pain, the time and location are uncertain, and sometimes it feels like a pinprick stinging pain, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, caused by the implantation of the embryo into the endometrium, and there is generally no major problem, female friends do not have to have too much psychological burden, let alone excessive mental tension, unless the symptoms of abdominal pain gradually worsen or sudden severe abdominal pain.
2. Gastroenteritis.
In the later stage of embryo transfer, the IVF doctor will generally carry out embryo transfer management, at this time, progesterone and other drugs will be used, such drugs will make the tract muscles become relaxed, intestinal peristalsis will slow down, and after the transfer, women need to stay in bed to recuperate, not strenuous exercise, then the amount of exercise is easy to cause indigestion or constipation. If some women are afraid of treating their babies badly, they make a big supplement, or some women do not pay attention to their diet and eat irritating foods such as raw and cold, spicy food, it will cause gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroenteritis and cause abdominal pain.
3. Threatened miscarriage.
For patients with sudden, severe abdominal pain or abdominal pain for a long time after transplantation, accompanied by bleeding symptoms, it is necessary to be alert to the risk of threatened miscarriage, especially for women with heavy bleeding, long duration of abdominal pain, and intrauterine bleeding. Of course, severe abdominal pain caused by ovarian torsion due to strenuous exercise after the egg retrieval procedure cannot be ruled out.
2. How to deal with and prevent abdominal pain after transplantation?
Now that we know the three causes of abdominal pain, let's take a look at what strategies and recommendations IVF doctors have for managing and preventing abdominal pain
1. Reasonable diet.
In view of the fragility of the digestive system affected by progesterone drugs after embryo transfer, it is recommended that everyone eat a reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, eat more vegetables, fruits and easily digestible foods to prevent constipation. For example, eat more high-protein liquid or semi-liquid substances such as milk, soy milk, and soy milk, and you can also eat foods rich in dietary fiber such as celery, lotus root, and yam. In addition, you can also eat some coarse grains appropriately, but you must prohibit the application of some spicy and irritating foods to avoid abdominal pain and diarrhea.
2. Keep a good mood.
Women who are overly nervous and anxious after transplantation are easy to focus all their attention on the abdomen, so that the psychological effect will always feel discomfort in the lower abdomen, which is not conducive to embryo implantation, and excessive psychological pressure is also one of the important reasons for pregnancy failure. Therefore, Olive Tree Life reminds female friends that whether you have just entered IVF or the later stage of embryo transfer, you must maintain a relaxed and happy mood and avoid nervousness and anxiety as much as possible. Even if there are some abnormal reactions after the transplant, do not worry too much, let alone suffer from gains and losses, self-suspicion, but should get in touch with the doctor in time and take the correct treatment.
3. Do a good job of protecting the tire.
After the embryo transfer is completed in vitro, the doctor will inject an appropriate amount of natural progesterone or HCG according to the needs of the woman's body to improve the receptivity of the endometrium, help the embryo implant better and maintain the pregnancy. At the same time, the female friend is advised to stay in bed for "48 hours" after the transplant, do not take a bath, and avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion, so as to prevent the occurrence of accidental miscarriage.
When your uterus is in good shape, the endometrial thickness is 8 12 mm, the blood flow is abundant, the endocrine level is balanced, and there are no abnormalities such as uterine fibroids, the healthy embryo is successfully implanted into the uterine cavity in an ideal position suitable for implantation.
