Patient's question:
What should I do about constipation after IVF transfer? I haven't had a bowel movement for three days, and my stomach feels a bit bloated. Online explanations suggest using glycerin suppositories, so can they be used after IVF transfer? Hello, can constipation after IVF transfer be treated with glycerin suppositories?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, in vitro fertilization requires more caution. It is recommended to adopt a gentle approach. With three days without a bowel movement, the condition is still manageable. You can try using a small amount of vegetable oil for enemas. Pay attention to your diet, drink enough water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and consume foods rich in fiber. Glycerin, the main component of glycerin suppositories, acts as a lubricant for dry stools that cannot be expelled and can be used during pregnancy.
