Is there pain associated with third-generation IVF surgery?
With the continuous development of medical technology, third-generation IVF surgery, as an assisted reproductive technology, has helped many infertile couples realize their dreams. However, for many people, whether surgery is accompanied by pain is a focus of attention. This article will discuss the pain feeling before and after the operation and the effective methods to relieve the pain.
Pain feeling before operation
For patients who are about to undergo three generations of IVF surgery, the pain feeling before surgery is mainly reflected in psychological and physiological aspects.
Psychologically, the patient has experienced a long treatment process and many failed attempts, and may feel worried and nervous about the operation itself, which will further increase the perception of pain. Therefore, before surgery, doctors need psychological counseling to help patients alleviate anxiety.
Physiologically, the pain before surgery mainly comes from the injection of ovulation promoting drugs. These drugs stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs to increase the chance of pregnancy. However, the use of these drugs can also cause discomfort such as ovarian swelling and abdominal pain. The patient may feel abdominal pain, slight discomfort and fullness. In order to relieve the pain, the doctor usually suggests that the patient take a rest and apply a hot water bag to the abdomen.
Pain feeling during operation
The third-generation IVF surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, usually performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, the operation itself will not be accompanied by obvious pain. The patient may feel slight discomfort or pressure during the operation, but the pain is usually tolerable.
During the operation, the doctor will use a thin tube to remove the eggs through the vagina, which may cause some abdominal discomfort. However, due to the effect of local anesthesia, patients usually do not feel obvious pain.
Pain feeling after operation
The pain feeling after operation is mainly related to the recovery process after operation.
On the first day after surgery, the patient may feel some abdominal pain and discomfort. This is caused by the spasm and stimulation of the wound after surgery. Patients can relieve these pain feelings by resting, applying hot water bags to the abdomen and taking pain relievers.
As time goes on, the patient's pain will gradually reduce. Normally, patients can resume normal activities within one or two weeks after surgery.
Methods to relieve the pain of operation
In order to alleviate the pain caused by the third-generation IVF surgery, the following are some suggested methods:
1. Psychological counseling: Before surgery, doctors need to communicate with patients in detail, answer their doubts and concerns, and provide psychological support and encouragement. This can help patients ease anxiety.
2. Medication for pain relief: After the operation, the doctor will prescribe appropriate pain relief drugs according to the specific situation of the patient. These drugs can effectively relieve postoperative pain and improve patient comfort.
3. Rest and diet adjustment: After the operation, the patient needs to take a moderate rest to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting to reduce pain. In addition, proper diet adjustment and balanced nutrition will help patients recover.
Summary
The third-generation IVF operation is not accompanied by obvious pain. The operation itself is carried out under local anesthesia, and patients will only feel slight discomfort or oppression. The pain feeling before and after the operation mainly comes from the use of ovulation promoting drugs and the recovery process after the operation. Through psychological counseling, medication, rest and diet adjustment, the pain caused by surgery can be effectively relieved and the comfort of patients can be improved.
