Dietary taboos after IVF transplantation
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. After successful transplantation, the choice of diet and avoidance of certain foods are crucial to the success of transplantation and the development of embryos. This article will introduce the dietary taboos after IVF transplantation in terms of reducing caffeine intake, avoiding sashimi, limiting sugar and salt intake, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco.
Reduce caffeine intake
Caffeine is a substance that stimulates the central nervous system. During IVF transplantation, caffeine intake should be minimized. Studies have found that excessive caffeine intake will affect hormone secretion and increase the risk of miscarriage. Therefore, during IVF transplantation, it is best not to drink caffeinated drinks, such as coffee, tea and beverages.
In addition, caffeine will also have a negative impact on the water balance in the body, which will easily lead to dehydration and affect the blood supply to the uterus. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid or reduce caffeine intake in the diet of test tube infants after transplantation.
In order to keep healthy, you can choose decaffeinated tea and drinks, and pay attention to supplement enough water.
Avoid sashimi
Sashimi is a kind of food contaminated by many microorganisms, which should be avoided after transplantation. Parasites and bacteria carried in sashimi may cause gastrointestinal tract infection, which is not only harmful to one's own health, but also affects embryonic development.
If you like fish very much, it is recommended to choose cooked fish. Steaming, boiling or roasting fish can better retain the nutrients in fish, while ensuring food safety.
Limit sugar and salt intake
After IVF transplantation, the intake of sugar and salt should be limited as far as possible. Excessive sugar intake will lead to dramatic fluctuations in blood glucose and insulin levels, affecting the success rate of embryo implantation. Excessive salt intake will lead to water retention in the body, increase blood pressure, and is not conducive to embryonic development.
In order to maintain a good nutritional balance, it is recommended to choose low sugar and low salt foods in the diet of test tube infants after transplantation. Increase the intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat and fish, and avoid processed foods, candy, snacks and high salt foods.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco
After IVF transplantation, smoking and drinking should be completely avoided. Studies have shown that nicotine and alcohol in tobacco will have adverse effects on embryo development and implantation.
Both nicotine and alcohol affect the secretion of progesterone, the blood supply of the embryo, and the thickness of the endometrium. In addition, tobacco and alcohol can also increase harmful substances in the blood, reduce the immune function of the reproductive system, and increase the risk of miscarriage and premature delivery.
Therefore, we should resolutely quit smoking and drinking in the diet after IVF transplantation to create a healthy reproductive environment.
Summary
Dietary taboos after IVF transplantation mainly include reducing caffeine intake, avoiding sashimi, limiting sugar and salt intake, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco. Excessive intake of caffeine and sugar will affect embryonic development, sashimi may carry bacteria and parasites to cause infection, excessive intake of salt will affect embryonic development, and tobacco and alcohol will increase the risk of miscarriage and premature delivery. Observing these dietary taboos can improve the success rate of IVF transplantation and the healthy development of embryos.
