How painful is the third generation IVF egg retrieval operation?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an important assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who are unable to conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, many people have doubts about the pain level of egg retrieval surgery. This article will elaborate the pain degree of the third generation IVF egg retrieval operation and the methods to alleviate the pain from many aspects.
Preoperative sedation and anesthesia
The third generation IVF egg retrieval operation is usually carried out in the menstrual cycle of women, and patients are usually given sedation and anesthesia before the operation to reduce the pain during the operation. Practice shows that these sedatives and anesthetics can significantly reduce the degree of pain and make patients feel more comfortable during the operation.
For example, the Assisted Reproduction Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital has used a new technology called "pre analgesia paste". Before the operation, the doctor will stick this patch on the patient, and the drugs in the patch can be gradually released through the skin, thus alleviating the pain. This technology can effectively reduce the degree of pain during surgery and improve the patient's experience of surgery.
In addition, some hospitals also use local anesthesia technology to make patients feel no pain during surgery by injecting anesthetics around their ovaries. This anesthesia method can also reduce the pain of patients and improve the surgical effect.
Monitoring and analgesia during operation
In the process of the third generation IVF egg retrieval operation, doctors will guide egg retrieval through ultrasonic monitoring. This can reduce the pain of the operation and improve the accuracy of the operation. Ultrasonic monitoring can observe the follicles in the ovary in real time, and doctors can operate according to the monitoring results to avoid additional pain to patients.
In addition, during the operation, the doctor will inject analgesics to alleviate the pain of patients. These drugs are usually given by intravenous or intramuscular injection, which can effectively control the degree of pain during surgery.
Post operative pain management
After the third generation IVF egg retrieval operation, patients may experience abdominal pain and discomfort to some extent. The doctor will deal with the pain according to the patient's symptoms and needs. Usually, doctors will give patients some over-the-counter drugs, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, to help relieve pain.
In addition, some hospitals also provide other methods to relieve postoperative pain. For example, in the assisted reproduction center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, patients can also choose pain management methods such as acupuncture, physiotherapy or massage to help relieve postoperative pain.
Summary
To sum up, the pain level of the third generation IVF egg retrieval operation can be alleviated by various methods. Sedation and anesthesia before operation, monitoring and analgesia during operation, and pain management after operation can effectively reduce the pain of patients and improve the smooth operation. Various hospitals are also actively exploring and applying new pain relief techniques and methods. Therefore, for those couples who want to carry out third-generation IVF, they need not worry too much about the pain during the operation. Professional doctors and medical teams will pay full attention to the feelings and needs of patients, try their best to reduce their pain, and provide quality medical services for patients.
