Pain caused by IVF reduction surgery
In vitro fetal reduction surgery is a method to reduce the number of multiple pregnancies through medical means. Although this operation may be necessary for some families, it has also aroused people's concern about whether the operation process is painful. This article will discuss the pain degree of IVF reduction operation from different angles.
1. Preparation before operation
Before the IVF reduction operation, the doctor will make a series of preparations. First, the doctor will explain the operation process and possible risks to the patient, and obtain their consent. Secondly, the anesthesiologist will choose the appropriate anesthesia method according to the actual situation of the patient.
Generally, local anesthesia will be used before surgery, which can effectively reduce the pain of patients. During the operation, the patient will only feel some local tingling and slight discomfort, but will not feel severe pain.
In addition, the hospital will also provide emotional support for patients to reduce their anxiety and insecurity, so as to further reduce the degree of pain during the operation.
2. Mastery of operation process
IVF embryo reduction surgery is generally performed by experienced doctors, who will try their best to reduce the pain during the operation. During the operation, doctors will use professional tools and techniques to selectively remove redundant fetuses by puncture or suction.
Although some irritation and discomfort may be caused during the operation, patients usually only feel slight pain or pressure due to the local anesthesia measures. During the operation, the doctor will adjust the speed and intensity of the operation according to the actual situation of the patient to ensure the comfort and safety of the patient.
In addition, the doctor will continue to communicate with the patient, asking about their pain and discomfort, so that appropriate measures can be taken in time to alleviate the pain.
3. Postoperative pain management
After the IVF reduction operation, the patient may feel some pain and discomfort. The doctor will provide appropriate pain relief drugs and guide patients to use them correctly to reduce postoperative pain.
The degree and duration of pain vary from individual to individual, but generally speaking, patients can promote wound healing and pain relief after surgery through reasonable rest, proper diet and regular doctor visits.
In addition, the doctor will also provide some postoperative nursing suggestions for patients, such as keeping the wound clean, avoiding strenuous exercise, avoiding sexual life, etc., to promote the recovery of patients and reduce the occurrence of postoperative pain.
4. Subjective feelings of patients
Each patient's subjective feelings are different. Some patients may feel slight pain during the operation, while others may feel almost no pain. This depends on the patient's pain tolerance, emotional state, technical level of surgical operation and other factors.
In general, the degree of pain caused by IVF embryo reduction surgery is controllable, and doctors will take various measures to reduce the pain of patients. Through the comprehensive consideration of proper preoperative anesthesia, mastery of the surgical process, postoperative pain management, and patients' subjective feelings, we can find that the pain of IVF operation on patients is relatively controllable.
summary
Although IVF reduction surgery may cause some pain, it can effectively reduce the pain level of patients through doctors' professional operation and comprehensive pain management measures. For some necessary fetal reduction operations, the doctor will fully consider the patient's condition and take all necessary measures to ensure the smooth operation and the patient's comfort.
