Shanghai IVF - What should be paid attention to in postoperative nursing?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are the methods to achieve fertility through IVF and ET. In Shanghai, there are many professional hospitals providing IVF treatment, such as Shanghai James Maternity Hospital. Postoperative nursing is an important link in the success of IVF. The following will elaborate the postoperative nursing precautions of Shanghai IVF from four aspects.
1. Keep resting and relaxing
After operation, IVF patients need to rest and relax to promote body healing and embryo implantation. First of all, patients should try to reduce physical activity to avoid excessive force leading to increased abdominal pressure. Secondly, we should pay attention to prevent coldness and infection in our daily life to ensure good health after surgery. In addition, patients should avoid tension and anxiety, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, which is conducive to physical recovery and successful pregnancy.
Next is the food and drink precautions. After surgery, patients should follow the doctor's dietary recommendations and take various nutrients reasonably to help the body recover and provide nutrition for the embryo. Try to choose light and easily digestible food, and avoid greasy and irritating food, so as not to burden the body after surgery.
Postoperative patients should also maintain good sleep habits, and the rest time every night should not be less than 8 hours. Some relaxation activities, such as listening to music and reading, can be properly carried out to help relieve stress and improve sleep quality.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise and deal with uncomfortable symptoms
In a period of time after surgery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting, so as to avoid adverse effects on the uterus and embryos. In case of discomfort, the patient should seek medical advice or consult the doctor in time. Common uncomfortable symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, etc. These symptoms may be related to postoperative complications, which need further evaluation and treatment by doctors.
In addition, patients also need to be regularly revisited after surgery, and relevant examinations should be carried out in time to monitor the development of embryos. If necessary, the doctor will adjust or assist the treatment accordingly.
3. Psychological adjustment and support
The IVF process is a period of great emotional fluctuation for patients. Anxiety, worry and tension may occur after surgery. Therefore, patients need the support and understanding of family and friends, and actively participate in psychological counseling and psychological counseling to reduce emotional pressure and enhance confidence.
In addition, participating in relevant support groups and social activities can also help reduce patients' anxiety and psychological burden. Sharing experiences and feelings with people who also experience IVF treatment can encourage and support each other and improve the success rate of treatment.
4. Pay attention to postoperative contraception and follow the doctor's advice
After a successful pregnancy, the patient needs to follow the doctor's guidance and carry out regular prenatal examination and pregnancy care. At the same time, patients also need to pay attention to contraception after surgery to avoid unnecessary burden on the body caused by pregnancy again. Doctors will provide patients with appropriate contraceptive methods and guidance according to the specific situation.
To sum up, Shanghai IVF postoperative care needs to pay attention to maintaining rest and relaxation, avoiding strenuous exercise and coping with uncomfortable symptoms, psychological adjustment and support, paying attention to postoperative contraception and following medical advice. Only scientific and reasonable nursing can help patients pass the post-operative stage of IVF and improve the probability of successful pregnancy.
