Does IVF feel pain due to lack of anesthetic?

Test tube baby technology has been widely used in the field of modern medicine. It has brought hope for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, for many people, a worrying question is whether IVF will feel pain, especially in the absence of narcotic drugs. Next, we will discuss whether IVF will feel pain from different perspectives.

1. Ovulation process of test tube baby

The process of IVF egg retrieval is a key step, which involves obtaining eggs from women's ovaries. The process of egg retrieval needs to be carried out in the body, usually by puncturing the ovary. This process can cause mild pain and discomfort without anesthetic, but in most cases it will not significantly affect women's normal life. In this process, doctors will use ultrasound guidance or local anesthesia to reduce pain. Therefore, from the perspective of egg retrieval process, the pain of IVF for women is controllable.

2. Embryo transfer process of test tube baby

The embryo transfer of IVF is to transfer the fertilized egg or embryo to the female uterus, which is one of the key steps in the process of assisted pregnancy. The process of embryo transfer usually does not require anesthetics because it is a non-invasive process. According to research, most women do not feel obvious pain or discomfort during embryo transfer. Although some people may experience temporary abdominal discomfort, this feeling is usually mild and transient.

3. Egg and embryo culture process

In the process of IVF, eggs and fertilized eggs need to be cultured to promote their development. This process is carried out in the laboratory and usually does not involve any anesthetics. Eggs and embryos do not feel pain during culture because they do not have the nervous system to feel pain. However, doctors will precisely control the culture conditions to ensure the best development environment and minimize the discomfort of embryos.

4. Postoperative care and pregnancy

After IVF egg retrieval and embryo transfer, women need a period of postoperative recuperation and pregnancy care. This stage usually does not need anesthetics, but women may experience some mild discomfort, such as abdominal distension, breast pain, etc. The hospital will provide patients with relevant nursing guidance, and provide necessary pain relief measures as needed to ensure the comfort of pregnancy.

To sum up, the IVF process does not bring obvious pain, especially in the absence of anesthetics. The pain can be alleviated through local anesthesia in the process of ovum retrieval. The process of embryo transfer and culture does not involve anesthetics. Postoperative care and pregnancy care can alleviate discomfort through relevant nursing guidance and pain relief measures. Therefore, the pain of IVF is controllable, and couples can safely carry out IVF technology to achieve their fertility aspirations.
