Patient's question:
I have been married for a few years and have been infertile. I have been experiencing discomfort in my body. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said that I have a large follicle in my left ovary and a chocolate cyst, which are affecting my health and normal fertility. They advised me to have a needle aspiration. At the time, when I heard the doctor say that I couldn't have sexual intercourse immediately after the procedure, I was concerned that it might lead to infection and other diseases.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Ovulation induction does not affect coital conception, so there is no need to worry. In some women or certain menstrual cycles, the body temperature may not decrease noticeably or not decrease at all, but as long as the temperature starts to rise, it can be considered that ovulation has occurred. You can rest appropriately for one to two weeks, which is generally not an issue. For safety against infection, it is recommended to extend the rest period to two weeks. Additionally, if you have a cold with fever or are using progesterone, these factors should be excluded when measuring basal body temperature.
