What to eat after egg retrieval to restore ovaries

If a woman becomes infertile due to some adverse factors such as fallopian tube obstruction, she may need to remove her eggs and undergo in vitro fertilization. Because ovulation needs to be induced before egg retrieval, and many eggs may be retrieved, it will have a certain impact on the woman's ovaries. At this time, it is best for women to adjust their diet to restore the normal function of the ovaries. So, what can you eat after egg retrieval to restore the ovaries?

Under normal circumstances, the ovaries need three months to recover after egg retrieval. It is recommended to pay attention to rest after the operation, avoid overwork, avoid eating too irritating foods, and take care of your body. If there are other abnormal conditions, you must seek medical attention in time and seek professional advice.

1. After egg retrieval, in order to prevent ascites, you can drink more diuretic drinks on a daily basis, such as orange juice, watermelon juice, winter melon soup, crucian carp soup, etc., so that the daily urine volume is kept at about 2000ml.

2. Eat more easily digestible foods, noodle soups, porridge, vegetarian dumplings, etc. to prevent dry stools and excessive abdominal force from damaging the ovaries. We especially recommend grapefruit that looks like Sunkist and cheese that is rich in protein.

3. Eat more nutritious eggs and shrimps. If possible, it is best to choose river shrimps, because river shrimps contain several to dozens of times more protein than fish. Therefore, they are a very good healthy and nutritious food that can replenish the body's energy.

4. Do not eat spicy or other irritating foods. At the same time, you cannot eat raw or cold foods, as they will affect the recovery of the ovaries.

5. After egg retrieval, you cannot eat cold foods, such as hairy crabs, persimmons, cold drinks, ice water, etc. Try not to eat them or eat less.

Precautions before and after egg retrieval

Before egg retrieval:

1. Insist on soaking your feet before going to bed, about 30 minutes every night, which can relax your mind and promote circulation.

2. Drink soy milk every day, it can promote the growth of endometrium.

3. During the egg retrieval period, remember to bring some sanitary pads, socks, and diapers. It is best not to wear a skirt because wearing a skirt can easily cause bacterial infection.

4. Keep your body and mind relaxed. If muscle tension affects the movement of the ultrasound probe, the surgeon will increase the force of the operation, making the operation more difficult and increasing the patient's physical pain.

1. You should reduce activity, drink more water, and urinate more frequently. After the operation, there will be small wounds in the vagina and on the surface of the ovaries. If you do strenuous exercise, it may cause bleeding. Severe cases require hospitalization for observation or even surgical treatment. The size of the ovaries increases after ovulation induction. If strenuous exercise is performed after egg retrieval, it may cause ovarian torsion. Severe cases require surgical treatment.

2. Do not drink alcoholic beverages and do not use painkillers or analgesics.

3. Drink more water and eat more diuretic foods (such as winter melon, mung beans, watermelon, etc.) to avoid ascites.
