The reason why IVF babies must stay in bed
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproduction method that fertilizes and cultivates the fertilized eggs in the laboratory through IVF technology, and then transfers the embryos back to the mother. For a period of time after embryo transfer, IVF usually requires bed rest. The reasons for this requirement include body recovery, reducing body burden and improving the success rate of embryo implantation.
Physical recovery
The process of IVF egg retrieval and embryo transfer has caused a certain degree of stimulation and burden to the female body. In the process of egg retrieval, hormone drugs are used to promote the growth and maturation of follicles, which will have an impact on the ovary and the entire endocrine system. After embryo transfer, the endometrium will also change due to hormone treatment. Therefore, in order to recover the body as soon as possible, IVF usually requires bed rest.
Bed rest can reduce the gravity pressure on the upper body, relieve the discomfort of the stimulated ovary and uterus, and is conducive to the recovery and rehabilitation of the body. At the same time, lying in bed can also avoid complications such as bleeding caused by excessive activity, and reduce physical discomfort.
In addition, IVF baby surgery may bring mental stress and fatigue to women. Sleeping in bed can help them get better sleep and rest, which is conducive to restoring the success rate of pregnancy.
Reduce physical burden
Test tube baby surgery is a relatively complex and high-risk medical technology, and the entire process requires doctors to operate the ovary, uterus, etc. Women may feel some fatigue and discomfort after the operation. Bed rest can reduce the burden on the body, so that women do not have to stand or walk for a long time, and avoid complications caused by excessive force and physical activity.
In addition, bed rest can also reduce the frequency of examination and observation, and reduce the discomfort of patients in the hospital for a long time. After IVF surgery, doctors usually need to conduct regular observation and examination on patients, including blood sampling, ultrasound, etc. Bed rest can reduce the physical discomfort and fatigue of patients due to frequent walking, and also reduce the discomfort caused by these examinations and observations.
In addition, lying in bed can also reduce the influence of external factors on the body. Bed rest can reduce patients' exposure to external microorganisms and environmental pollution, which is conducive to wound healing and physical recovery.
Success rate of embryo implantation
Bed rest after IVF embryo transfer can improve the probability of successful embryo implantation. Research shows that bed rest can increase the retention time in the uterine cavity, and increase the time and opportunity for embryos to stay in the uterus. In addition, bed rest can also increase the contact area of the embryo to the endometrium and increase the probability of implantation.
During bed rest, women usually follow specific bed positions, such as raising their legs or lying on the left side. These postures help to reduce uterine pressure, improve blood circulation, and improve the survival and implantation ability of embryos in the uterus.
In addition to bed rest, strict control of daily activities and diet is also an important factor to ensure the success of IVF embryo implantation. At this critical stage, bed rest plays a vital role.
summary
The reasons why IVF babies have to stay in bed include body recovery, reducing body burden, and improving the success rate of embryo implantation. Bed rest contributes to women's physical recovery and the success of the baby's pregnancy, and also reduces the patient's discomfort and fatigue.
