Can test tube babies eat tomatoes after transplantation
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their desire to have children. After IVF transplantation, patients often worry about diet, including whether they can eat tomatoes. This article will discuss whether tomatoes can be eaten after IVF transplantation from many aspects.
1. Nutrition
Tomato is a nutrient rich vegetable, including vitamin C, vitamin A, lycopene, etc. These ingredients are very important for maintaining daily physiological functions and enhancing immunity. IVF patients need to maintain a strong body after surgery and improve immunity to reduce the risk of infection. The nutrients in tomatoes play a positive role in helping patients recover and enhance their health.
However, in the process of IVF transplantation, drugs will produce certain side effects in the body, such as the stimulation of the digestive system, resulting in excessive gastric acid secretion. Therefore, if there is too much gastric acid secretion after surgery, eating too many tomatoes may cause stomach discomfort. It is recommended that patients eat moderately and in batches during the eating process to reduce the reaction of excessive gastric acid secretion.
In addition, tomatoes are also a kind of food rich in cellulose, which may cause constipation after IVF. Proper intake of tomatoes, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, will help relieve constipation symptoms.
2. Pollution
When eating tomatoes, there is an important aspect to pay attention to: pollution. There may be pesticide residues or other pollutants on the surface of tomatoes. The intake of these chemicals may adversely affect the success rate of IVF transplantation.
To avoid pollution, it is recommended that patients choose organically grown tomatoes or wash them thoroughly before eating. Warm water and edible salt can be used to clean the pesticide residues on the tomato surface, and cut it into blocks to dilute the harmful substances that may remain.
3. Deterioration risk
Tomato is a perishable food, which is easy to deteriorate during storage and processing. For IVF, diseases such as bacterial infection and food poisoning may pose a threat to the health of embryos and patients themselves.
In order to avoid eating spoiled tomatoes, patients should choose fresh, mature tomatoes and try to reduce the storage time. Before processing and eating, carefully check the surface of tomatoes. If there are signs of browning and decay, they should be discarded immediately. In addition, it is important to place the cut tomatoes in a clean container and eat them immediately when necessary.
4. Salty and sour taste
After IVF transplantation, patients often feel salty and sour, especially dairy products and lemon. Tomatoes are relatively acidic food, and the acidity may further stimulate the postoperative taste.
If the patient is sensitive to acid after IVF transplantation, it is recommended to reduce the amount of tomatoes or process them into tomato paste, tomato soup and other foods with low acidity.
summary
To sum up, patients after IVF transplantation can usually eat tomatoes. Tomatoes are rich in nutrients, which can help enhance the immunity and health of patients. However, when eating tomatoes, attention should be paid to the nutrition, pollution, deterioration risk and the impact of salty and sour taste. Patients can eat tomatoes in proper amount according to their own conditions and doctor's advice to maintain good health.
