How to do with abdominal distension after IVF transplantation?
Test tube baby transplantation is an assisted reproductive technology, which is a hope for many infertile couples. However, sometimes after transplantation, women may experience bloating. This sense of flatulence may make women feel uncomfortable and troubled. The following will introduce the causes and solutions of abdominal distension after IVF transplantation from four aspects.
Cause 1: Surgical sequelae
Test tube baby transplantation is a traumatic operation, which may stimulate and damage the tissues around the pelvic cavity to a certain extent, leading to a feeling of abdominal distension. In addition, anesthetic drugs and gas used during surgery may also cause abdominal distension.
In order to relieve the discomfort of abdominal distension, it is recommended that women should rest more after surgery, massage the abdomen regularly, and promote gas emission. Avoid overexertion and strenuous exercise, pay attention to diet conditioning, and apply abdominal hot compress if possible to relieve abdominal discomfort.
Reason 2: Hormone changes
After IVF transplantation, the female body will undergo greater hormonal changes. Hormone fluctuations may slow down the gastrointestinal peristalsis, leading to intestinal gas accumulation, causing a feeling of abdominal distension.
In order to alleviate the abdominal distension caused by hormonal changes, women can increase the intake of coarse fiber foods, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, which helps promote intestinal peristalsis. In addition, adequate water intake and normal exercise can also help reduce the symptoms of bloating.
Cause 3: Ovarian stimulation syndrome
Before IVF transplantation, women often receive ovarian stimulation treatment to increase egg production. However, ovarian stimulation may cause ovarian stimulation syndrome, leading to a feeling of bloating.
Ovarian irritation syndrome may cause swelling and fluid accumulation in the pelvic cavity. In this case, it is recommended that women follow the doctor's advice for appropriate medication to reduce the symptoms of ovarian irritation syndrome. In addition, report the condition of abdominal distension to the doctor in time for timely intervention.
Cause 4: Allergic reaction
In IVF transplantation surgery, some drugs and materials are sometimes used, such as anesthetic drugs and catheters required for IVF transplantation. Some women may have allergic reactions to these drugs and materials, leading to abdominal distension.
If it is suspected that abdominal distention is caused by allergic reaction, it is recommended to contact a doctor in time. The doctor may carry out allergy test according to the situation, determine the allergen, and then take corresponding treatment measures to reduce the allergic reaction and relieve the symptoms of abdominal distention.
Summary
The causes of abdominal distension after IVF transplantation may include postoperative sequelae, hormonal changes, ovarian stimulation syndrome and allergic reactions. For the discomfort of abdominal distension, try abdominal massage, proper exercise, increase the intake of crude fiber food and adequate water intake to alleviate the symptoms. If the abdominal distension is serious or lasts for a long time, consult the doctor for further examination and treatment.
