1. Post-operative monitoring: Identifying normal reactions and dangerous signals
After egg retrieval, the body will have some normal reactions, and you need to be vigilant for certain abnormal signals.
Most women experience mild abdominal distension, occasional dull pain in the abdomen, or slight vaginal bleeding after egg retrieval. These symptoms are generally considered to be normal postoperative reactions, and usually resolve on their own within 1 to 3 days.
·Abdominal distension is significantly aggravated, even accompanied by difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting, inability to eat, or significant reduction in urine output.
· Abdominal distension has significantly worsened, accompanied by difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting. The patient is unable to eat, or there is a significant decrease in urine output.
· The amount of vaginal bleeding increases, exceeding the normal level of menstruation, or the bleeding continues without stopping.
· Symptoms such as fever (body temperature ≥ 38°C), severe abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue, or chills may occur.
These may be signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), infection, or internal bleeding. It is necessary to intervene promptly to avoid delaying the treatment.
Post-operative diet should be light, easy to digest, high protein, and high vitamins to help the body replenish nutrition and promote repair.

Incorporating fresh vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, broccoli, apples, oranges, etc., helps to supplement vitamins and dietary fiber, thereby preventing constipation after surgery.
Avoid consuming spicy and stimulating foods such as chili peppers and Sichuan pepper, as well as cold and icy foods like ice cream and cold drinks. Also, refrain from eating greasy and difficult-to-digest foods, to prevent additional strain on the digestive system or irritation to the body.
After the operation, it is necessary to increase fluid intake. It is recommended to drink 1500-2000 milliliters of water per day. Drinking plenty of warm water or lightly salted water can help promote the elimination of metabolic waste and reduce the risk of OHSS.
Activities and rest after egg retrieval need to be reasonably arranged to avoid overwork and prevent the risks caused by absolute bed rest.
After egg retrieval, the activities and rest should be arranged properly. It is important to avoid overexertion, while also preventing the risks associated with complete immobility.

In the 1-2 days after surgery, it is appropriate to get out of bed and engage in mild activities, such as slow walks for 10-15 minutes each time. This helps to promote blood circulation and gastrointestinal motility. However, it is important to avoid rapid walking, running, or jumping.
During the first week after surgery, and until the next menstrual period begins, it is necessary to avoid sexual intercourse, bathtub baths, showers, and swimming. This helps prevent bacterial infections and pelvic congestion.
At the same time, ensure sufficient sleep, at least 8 hours per day. Avoid staying up late, so that the body can get enough rest.
After egg retrieval, health protection needs to be strengthened to reduce the risk of infection, and medication needs to be strictly followed.
After egg retrieval, it is necessary to strengthen hygiene measures to reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, it is important to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions regarding medication use.
Since there may be minor cuts in the vagina, it is necessary to clean the external genital area with warm water every day. Keep the area clean and dry, and change cotton underwear frequently.
Avoid using sanitary pads or washing solutions to clean the inside of the vagina, as this can disrupt the balance of bacterial flora.
After egg retrieval, doctors may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection, or use medications such as progesterone to regulate hormone levels, in preparation for the subsequent transplantation process.
It is necessary to take the medication on time and in the correct dosage. Do not adjust the dosage or stop taking the medication without permission.
If you experience any discomfort after taking the medication, please consult a doctor immediately.
After egg retrieval, some women may experience anxiety, tension and other negative emotions due to concerns about recovery, embryo quality or transfer results.
After egg retrieval, some women may experience anxiety, tension, and other negative emotions due to concerns about their recovery, the quality of the embryos, or the outcome of the transplantation.
These emotions may affect the body’s recovery and endocrine levels through the neuroendocrine system.
Therefore, maintaining a calm and positive mindset is extremely important.
You can relieve stress by communicating with family and friends, listening to soothing music, or reading enjoyable books.
Family members should also provide ample care and support to help women relax and work together to overcome the challenges encountered during treatment.
The scientific care after egg retrieval is a crucial step in the success of in vitro fertilization procedures. It requires patients to actively cooperate in various aspects such as physical monitoring, diet, activity levels, rest, hygiene, medication intake, and psychological support.
By strictly following the doctor's professional guidance and carefully taking care of every aspect after surgery, we can promote better recovery and lay a solid foundation for the final embryo transfer, thereby welcoming the arrival of a new life.
