How to relieve pain during IVF
IVF refers to the implantation of fertilized eggs into the mother body after in vitro culture to help those couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations. Although the development of IVF technology has brought hope to many infertile couples, it may bring some pain and discomfort to women in the whole process. In order to alleviate these adverse feelings, the hospital has taken some measures to alleviate the pain in the process of IVF.
Use local anesthesia
In the process of IVF, doctors often prick women's ovaries to collect eggs. This process may cause some pain and discomfort. In order to alleviate the pain, hospitals often use local anesthesia. Specifically, doctors will inject local anesthetic drugs around the ovary so that women will not feel obvious pain during the process of ovarian acupuncture.
In addition, some hospitals also use cooling appliances or local refrigeration technology to cool the ovaries and reduce the pain on the surface of the ovaries.
Use sedatives
In the implantation stage of IVF, doctors need to implant the fertilized egg into the female uterus. This process can sometimes cause some pain and discomfort. In order to alleviate this feeling, the hospital will take sedatives.
Before the operation, the doctor will give the woman some sedatives to keep her relaxed and calm. In this way, women can more easily accept the implantation process, reducing pain.
In fact, some IVF surgeons can adjust the dosage of drugs according to the individual differences and needs of women to ensure that her comfort is maximized.
Psychological guidance and support
Psychological pressure during IVF may lead to increased pain for women. The hospital is usually equipped with professional psychological consultants or teams, who will provide psychological guidance and support for women throughout the process.
Psychological counselors will communicate with patients to help them relieve anxiety and stress, and provide relevant information and suggestions. Sometimes, through psychological counseling and support, women can better cope with the pain and discomfort during IVF.
Reasonably arrange physical and mental rest
The pain in IVF may also be related to female physical and mental fatigue. After the egg retrieval and implantation process, the hospital usually recommends that women take a proper rest and give them enough time to fully recover.
Women can avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor for a period of time after the operation, and pay attention to maintaining good living habits and eating habits. This can reduce pain and make better environment and conditions for embryo implantation.
By reasonably arranging physical and mental rest, women can better alleviate the pain in the process of IVF and provide a good foundation for the success of pregnancy.
Summary
The pain during IVF can be alleviated in many ways. Hospitals usually use local anesthesia and sedatives to relieve pain during ovarian acupuncture and fertilized egg implantation. In addition, psychological counseling and support as well as reasonable rest arrangements can also help women alleviate pain. Through the comprehensive application of these measures, the pain during IVF can be alleviated to the greatest extent, helping couples realize their reproductive dreams.
