Does IVF need to lie flat after transplantation?
IVF is a kind of medical assisted reproductive technology, which is chosen by more and more couples. However, after receiving IVF transplantation, some couples have doubts about the need to lie down and rest. This article will elaborate on whether to lie flat after IVF transplantation from four aspects.
Proper rest after operation can improve the success rate
First of all, IVF transplantation is a relatively complicated operation, and it is necessary to have a proper rest after the operation. Rest can help the body recover, reduce the burden on the body, and help to improve the success rate of implantation of fertilized eggs. Medical research shows that rest can reduce uterine muscle contraction, make the endometrium easier to maintain a relaxed state, and improve the success rate of fertilized egg implantation. Therefore, it is necessary to lie down and rest 12 to 24 hours after the operation, which helps to protect the successful implantation of the transferred embryos.
Secondly, in the 48 to 72 hours after the operation, you still need to rest properly. During this period, the influence of endometrium on the fertilized egg is the most critical. Lying flat can reduce the chance of uterine contraction, protect the endometrium, and provide a good environment for the implantation of fertilized eggs. This period of lying down rest is of great significance to the success rate of IVF transplantation.
Finally, from the third day after IVF transplantation, the posture can be properly changed. Studies have shown that proper activities can increase blood circulation and facilitate the implantation of fertilized eggs. Appropriate activities can promote uterine blood flow, increase nutrition supply, and improve the survival rate of transplanted embryos. Although you can change your posture, you also need to avoid excessive activity to avoid uterine contraction.
Individual differences shall be determined according to doctor's suggestions and personal conditions
However, the need for lying down rest does not apply to every IVF transplant couple. Individual differences need to be determined according to the doctor's advice and personal circumstances. Some couples may have other physical problems, such as lumbar spondylosis or spinal problems, and cannot lie flat for a long time. In this case, the doctor may recommend proper posture adjustment to avoid discomfort.
In addition, there are different surgical methods for IVF transplantation. Some couples use ordinary IVF, and some couples use frozen embryo transfer. Doctors may give different suggestions according to different surgical methods. Some studies have shown that lying flat immediately after frozen embryo transfer may increase the survival rate of embryos. Therefore, whether to lie down and rest after surgery should also be determined according to the specific situation.
Summary
In a word, the rest position after IVF is crucial to the implantation of transferred embryos. It is necessary to lie down and rest 12 to 24 hours after the operation, and maintain a proper lying position 48 to 72 hours after the operation, which can promote the implantation of fertilized eggs. From the third day, the posture can be properly changed, but strenuous activities still need to be avoided to ensure the survival rate of the transferred embryos. However, individual differences need to be determined according to the doctor's advice and personal circumstances. IVF transplantation is a personalized operation. In the whole process, the advice and guidance of professional doctors are crucial.
