How can the ovaries recover quickly after egg retrieval?

For couples who are treated with assisted reproductive methods, sometimes they need to undergo an egg retrieval operation and then artificial insemination. For women, after the egg retrieval, the impact on the ovaries is relatively large. At this time, timely conditioning should be carried out to promote the body's rapid recovery. After that, you should get enough rest, drink more water, urinate more, and pay attention to your diet.

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, ovarian torsion may occur. Severe cases require surgical treatment.

2. Avoid ascites

Do not drink alcoholic beverages or use medications such as pain relievers or analgesics. Drink more water and eat more diuretic foods (such as winter melon, mung beans, watermelon, etc.) to avoid ascites.

3. Exercise less and rest more

You must avoid strenuous exercise, riding electric vehicles, motorcycles and strenuous activities. 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 around 2000ml.

4. Eat more easily digestible foods

Soup noodles, porridge, vegetarian stuffed buns, etc., can 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. 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, so they are very good healthy and nutritious food that can replenish the body's energy.

5. Do not eat spicy or other irritating foods

At the same time, you should not eat raw or cold food, as it will affect the recovery of the ovaries. 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.
