Patient's question:
I went to the hospital yesterday afternoon to retrieve my eggs because I and my husband cannot conceive normally and can only rely on in vitro fertilization. However, after the egg retrieval, I felt severe abdominal bloating and pain. How long does it usually take for this condition to improve? How long does lower abdominal pain last after egg retrieval?Doctor's answer:
After egg retrieval, the symptoms of abdominal pain may persist for about a week. If the symptoms worsen or the pain becomes severe, it is important to consider whether there is ascites. It is recommended to lie down after egg retrieval and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. In case of severe abdominal pain, heavy vaginal bleeding, hematuria, or difficulty urinating, please seek medical attention promptly. Mild abdominal pain can be carefully observed for most of the morning. Drink warm water.
