Anesthesia is generally recommended for the egg retrieval process and is not needed depending on how many eggs are retrieved, with only a few people choosing to proceed without anesthesia.
The process of egg retrieval involves the doctor locating the eggs and then using an egg retrieval needle to puncture the ovary through the posterior vaginal fornix, followed by the need to attract the egg cells through negative pressure, a process that is very unpleasant and not tolerated by most people. The main forms of anesthesia are local and general anesthesia, which can be chosen according to the patient’s wishes.
After undergoing egg retrieval surgery, patients are advised not to take a shower for three days to keep the area clean and prevent infection from occurring. At the same time, patients need to pay attention to rest, do not engage in strenuous exercise, and avoid eating spicy and stimulating food.
In addition, egg extraction surgery and precautions specific can consult a professional physician’s advice.
